Fix bug Eclipse hangs Tomcat "starting" status nonstop when using proxy

If you have configured a proxy that does not resolves "localhost", the Tomcat startup will hang in Eclipse. To fix it, go to:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections

and see if one of the boxes is checked. Change Active Provider to Direct (it unchecks all boxes) will resolved the problem.
