Issue
After adding Tomcat Server 9.0 to Eclipse 4.23 on Windows 11 the server will not start. The following warning is written to the console:
'WARNING: Problem with directory [C:\Users\david\Documents\ApplicationServers\apache-tomcat-9.0.60lib], exists: [false], isDirectory: [false], canRead: [false]'
Note that the directory path is: 'C:\Users\david\Documents\ApplicationServers\apache-tomcat-9.0.60'. It appears that 'lib' is appended to the path.
I have looked at every configuration that I can think of and searched the internet and have not found a similar problem or solution. Have any of you experienced this or have a solution?

Solution
I found the problem. While I am not sure why the working directory default is set to the value it is (see screenshot) or why the warning does not list the default path as the error, I changed the path to the Tomcat [root] and all is well now.
Thank you to everyone that offered suggestions and/or gave this thought.
