if you are actually going to bother to go through that list if I am missing anything then tell me prehapse i installed the wrong one
when I go and create a new project it doesn't show up with apache when looking for a target runtime which is the folder for tomcat I get IBM ow2 oracle red hat red hat jboss middleware resin and SAP when I look inside all of the folders there isnt a tomcat
according to the videos that I watched I should be able to see an apache folder so am i missing something or need a different install
also, I did try an eclipse plugin for tomcat it said the server started up but I couldn't run any JSP code or find the target runtime apache folder
i have tried with tomcat versions 7 and 9 eclipse 4.10

Answer 1

You are missing the JST Server Adapters Extensions feature mentioned at https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F . It contains the Tomcat support.

Answer 2

You have to download the tomcat zip file from the official site; most of the time version 8 or 9 will be suitable for you. extract the zip file in your pc.
open the eclipse and you will find the server view in the view menu item. create a new server with your extracted folder. I hope you get the idea. If you need more clear steps to install tomcat on eclipse please let me know. I will update this answer.
cheers...!!!
