LCR in Eclipse without Sysdeo plugin

Hi everybody I'm a former user of T4 but for many reasons independent
from my will, I had to abandon Tapestry a few years ago, while I'm still
maintaining some web applications.

Now I want to step into T5 and I'm following the tutorial.
I have set up under Eclipse and successfully running the tutorial.
Before going further I would like to be sure LCR works (because actually
doesn't).

I have read the Kalle page on setting up tomcat but I would like to
avoid the use of Sysdeo, because I use Eclipse+Tomcat for other
applications and I'm used to launch Tomcat via Eclipse Debug
Configuration.

My question is: can I achieve LCR wihtout Sysdeo? Would it be enough to
deploy devloader in Tomcat lib ?

TIA
