I start Tomcat from MyEclipse properly, but can not stop it.

Are you using Tomcat 5.0.19 on Linux? If you watch the console output for your main Tomcat thread you may see an exception about a missing proprety, I ran into this exact same error on Linux and found it in the Tomcat bug tracker. It was fixed in the nightly builds so I downloaded 5.0.21 (dev build) and it was working fine.

The strange part is, sometime later I downloaded 5.0.19 again, and reinstalled it in its own dir, and everything worked fine again.

For the time being you can just kill the Tomcat process from the debug perspective with the Stop button.
