Do I need the Java EE editor to work with Tomcat

I am pretty certain that all I have at work is a regular Java IDE and I am able to muck about with Tomcat... mind you, I don't deploy anything onto Tomcat via a 'Server' option. So, how come I can't do that easily with my regular IDE? I tried to install the Java EE development patches via Eclipse and it threw an error at me. I've seen the same requirement for some glassfish tutorials I was following before.

Is it because of that 'Server' feature that I need the EE version of Eclipse? I don't mind installing it, I was just curious. Anyone know?

Wow dude you need to get your google on! You just need the web tools plugin. That's all.
