Fixes above problems and adds a section on shutdown.

The building instructions are currently incorrect

 * The SVN repository URL for trunk is incorrect.
 * The implication in the text is that eclipse 4 is required. It isn't.
 * The step about the main class is incorrect.
 * The start launch argument is inferred

I'd have created the .launch files if you wanted. Looking at the svn commit I think there is still an error though.

AFAIK org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina no longer has a main method. I think this should be org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap as it is in the two launch files.

Startup class corrected - thanks for spotting that.
