Iam working on a java based web app using the Eclipse ide and the tomcat server,

My question is, is it possible to develop this app using the ide in my computer an a tomcat server located in another. All the guides i found involve me making the server in my own computer. Can you do it the other way? Is there a plugin or tool for it?

Yes, in same way as you are able to tell your IDE you gone use local server you can instruct it to use remote server. However you must be able to access it remotely, that mean appropriate security settings for firewall and ports forwarding etc.
