With the tomcat6.exe version you can enable remote debugging by running the tomcat6w.exe application and adding the following 2 java options in the list on the Java tab:
-Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
This is according to http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing and it worked in my case (Tomcat 6.0.26 for windows)
As you are using eclipse goto Windows-> Show view -> Add Server.
Choose Perspective as Debug from Windows-> Open Perspective -> Debug
Then Right click on added server and start it in debug mode.
