As of the June 2012 update of the Windows Azure Plugin for Eclipse with Java, the basic deployment of a Java app server + some apps got much simpler -- now it's just part of the new Windows Azure project wizard UI. The "old" way of copying startup scripts still works, and especially more advanced users may still find that preferable, but if you're just getting started with Java on Windows Azure, you will find the wizard-based approach just much simpler, quicker and with less opportunity for error.

Easiest to start with the 5 min demo at: http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Interoperability/Java-Applications-in-Windows-Azure-Cloud-Services-using-Eclipse

Just curious if you got this to run correctly locally.

One thing you must do, if you haven't, is modify the startup.cmd to properly match the version of Tomcat you're deploying with your app. Notice that the startup script ships with tomcat's folder being apache-tomcat-7.0.22. If you pulled Tomcat today, you'd get an updated build number, so you'd need to update this name in the startup script. Otherwise you'll see your initialization fail.
