Dynamic Web Project option missing in Eclipse [duplicate]
(8 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
The "Dynamic Web Project" option for a new project in Eclipse does not showing up in the list. Although the "web" folder showing up with option "static web project" but there is no option for "Dynamic Web project".
I have already installed Web, XML, Java EE plugin.
I am using Eclipse Kepler realease-2.
I had the same problem and did this:
Click "Help" > "Install new software"
In "Work with", paste: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
In "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development", check:
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
Finally, click "Next" to install the new software and "Dynamic Web Project" will be available.
Step 1: Click on Help and then click on “Install New Software”.
Step 2: In "Work with", paste this link: Mars- http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars
Step 3: Scroll down to find “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development” option and expand it.
Step 4: Select the following three options under “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development”
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Step 5: Click next and you should see that the software is installing. Wait for some time and then a popup would ask your permission to restart the Eclipse. Restart it and you should find the dynamic web project option under project list.
Switch from java to java EE tab at top right of eclipse editor and then look New->Dynamic Web Project
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
These need to be installed.
Now if in your new project you don't get Dynamic Web Project, select a new Project. In that you can go to Web-> Dynamic Web Project.
I don't know when this started, but in Mars.2 I found it here.
Downloaded the 4 files in Eclipse Kepler 4.3, and options for both Dynamic and Static Web project are now available. Can also create HTML5, JS, CSS files for a Hybrid Android application.
We can locate the Create Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse at top Menu bar button, hover mouse pointer over each one of them to find out
Click on Help and then click on “Install New Software”.
In Work with paste this link: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/Kepler
Change the link according to your Eclipse version, for example for the Eclipse
2020-03 the link would be http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-03
Scroll down to find “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development”
option and expand it.
4.Select the following three options under “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development”
-Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
-Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
-Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Click next and you would see that the software are installing. Wait for some time and then a popup would ask your permission to restart the Eclipse. Restart it and you would find the dynamic web project option under project list.
Which "Java EE" plug-in do you mean? That wizard requires that the Java EE Developer Tools feature be installed, and you be running with at least Java 6.
actually, you just need to check the check box for generating the web xml, see here
Eclipse Kepler not generating web.xml automatically
install plugin in eclipse for web application. Then dynamic web application option will come.
Find plugin link from here
https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/getting_started#creating
And go to help->Install new software-> paste link in work with and click on add select all available plugin.
It could hep you.
How to create dynamic web project in eclipse kepler and is there any editor for jsp for eclipse kepler?
You need to make sure that you download the package that contains these tools. The one you want is labeled "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers". This package supports dynamic web projects and has an editor for jsp files.
I use standalone eclipse on linux. I downloaded it from eclipse site ( not from my distro's repository ) and extracted it to home folder. Installed google plugin for eclipse (using Help->Install New Software). But see no new Web Application Project menu item. When I create new java project, in project properties I can select on Google tab "Use google app engine" checkbox. But I have to create war folder, web.xml, appengine-web.xml, etc. So I want to get new web application project template. How do I turn it on?
You need to be sure that you downloaded "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers". Please delete your current Eclipse installation and download a new archive from http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/indigosr2
I have download the Eclipse IDE for Java developer, HELIOS. I click 'File -> New -> Project...', but I only have "General, CVS, Java project, Examples". I would like to be able to create "dynamic web project", why do I not have this option?
I searched from internet, and the reason is probably I don't have Eclipse Web Development Tools, but how can I get it?
-----------EDIT-----------
I know by install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developer can solve the problem. But, I am working under Linux Ubuntu, how to get Eclipse Java EE version for Ubuntu Linux machine?
Not all of them are required (I think), but after installing the components listed below I got the "Dynamic Web Project" template added to my Eclipse (Indigo). The list is:
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
You can install those packages by clicking on "Help" > "Install New Software", selecting the repository that corresponds to your Eclipse build (i.e http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo for Indigo). The packages are grouped under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development".
I think you need the Web Tools Platform package for this. Not very sure though. You can add it to your current eclipse through Help > install new software.
Then add the software repository site location for WTP for your version of eclipse. This is how you can install plugins in eclipse.
"http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler"(If you have Eclipse Kepler)
Based on your eclipse choose above link and copy in
help>Install new software
paste in "work with" click add
give any name you want - plugin
In the list select>"Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development">Eclipse Java EE
Developer Tools. select and install it.
After restart you will have your Dyanmic web project option.
Thank You.
Like me if it worked please
You only need to install
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
and you will be able to see "Dynamic web project" wizard.
Download Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, everything you need should be included inside. This is the most painless way of obtaining Web Development Tools.
If you want to leave your existing Eclipse IDE, you can go to 'Help -> Install New Software' and find WDT to install them, although I haven't personally tried to go this route, so I can't guarantee everything will work out of the box.
Edit: not sure if it's included in Ubuntu's repository. One other way to do it is to download Linux 32-bit (or 64-bit, depending on your machine) version of Eclipse EE, but you'll have to check if it's the source you have to compile yourself, or an already compiled binary.
Fwiw, I downloaded the standard Java EE version of the Mars version of Eclipse, and ran into the same deal -- didn't see a Web option if I tried File >>> New >>> Project wizard.
The good news: Probably no extra installation needed.
It looks like what I wanted was to select the Other option rather than the Project item (strangely this is what comes up when you hit Ctrl-N, but that also lets us know we're probably on the right track):
After you select "Other", you'll see the "Select a wizard" screen, where you can select "Dynamic Web Project" and profit.
HELP

Replace version with your eclipse's version (eg: LUNA)
Hit enter
Underneath box will have different options, select package of your need.
Maybe Eclipse WTP plugin has been accidently removed. Have you tried re-installing WTP using this location ? If I were you I would have reinstall Eclipse from strach or even better try Spring ToolSuite which integrates with Google Plugin for Eclipse seamlessly (usign Extenstions tab on STS Dashboard)
Just download any eclipse with "EE" letters
I had a similar problem, you may find that going to the top right corner of your page in Eclipse and click "Java EE" instead of "Java" will solve your problem. I had EE installed correctly like you, and this solved the issue for me. Hope I helped :)
Go to Eclipse --> Help
and click--->Install new software
then you can see a window ...There a click add
Then put below url in url box: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/
i am having juno
if u have any other means put that name .
then click ok.
Make sure to check dynamic web app in "other section" i.e File>New>Other>Web or type in "dynamic web app" in your wizard filter. If dynamic web app is not there then follow following steps:
On Eclipse Menu Select HELP > INSTALL NEW SOFTWARE
In work with test box simply type in your eclipse version, which is oxygen in my case
Once you type in yur version something like this "Oxygen - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen"will be recommended to you in drop down
If you do not get any recommendation then simply copy " http://download.eclipse.org/releases/your-version" and paste it. Make sure to edit your-version.
After you Enter the address and press enter bunch of new softwares will be listed just ubderneath work with text box.
Scroll, find and Expand WEB, XML, Java EE .... tab
Select only these three options: Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools, Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools,Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Next, next and finish!
The easiest way to handle this is to install the full package installer with all weblogic add ons from the oracle site. This will install eclipse with all the features/plug ins you need.

This helped me find the "Dynamic web project" in Eclipse 2020-12 version. Restart the eclipse and go to file->new->other->web and you will see
project will be available.
This option might be missing because more than one and other than Tomcat runtime is selected. At the marked spot I was shown that I have selected Java JDK runtime. After unselecting it Dynamic Web Module reappeared.
I have j2ee web project in IntelliJ IDEA with complex web resource directory structure
Where to find analogue of this setting in Eclipse?
First, make sure that you have Java EE development portion of Eclipse installed. The easiest way is to download "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" packages from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads. Next, make sure that you've created a "Dynamic Web Project". Finally, go to Project Properties -> Deployment Assembly.
If you don't see Deployment Assembly page, you are using an old version of Eclipse. There is a way to do this in the older versions, but you will be happier if you upgrade to the newest release. See link above.
