Do you have any use cases, why is it necessary to edit Tomcat's web.xml files very often? Thanks. Of course not often, but this possibility will not make UI worse.
I.e. I want to make some frameworks and libs (Spring, JSTL, etc.) available by
default
I need then to change catalina.properties (add home paths to ${shared.loader} if
I want make these frameworks available globally on Tomcat installation) and put
.jar's in ${catalina.home}/shared/lib .
While trying many choices of installation, I'ld need access these dirs very often.

I think that 'edit server.xml' isn't enough, as I very often need to edit ${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml and ${catalina.home}/conf/web.xml, and look into ${catalina.base}/shared/lib and ${catalina.home}/shared/lib. I think a hierarchical menu like one presented below will make simple things like adding a framework to Tomcat or configuring default web-app options really simple. Local-> Edit 'server.xml' Edit 'web.xml' Folders-> / /shared/ /common/ Global-> Edit 'server.xml' Edit 'web.xml' Folders-> / /shared/ /common/ Or smth. else. Dunno, but I think this way will be better
