I'm currently using Eclipse Mars on OS X to build a PHP based application which requires a web server for a form submission. However, upon attempting to add Tomcat 7.0 as a server, the server list is empty (shown below).
I've been following several tutorials for setting up and configuring a Tomcat server and each one says to place the extracted Tomcat folder in the Eclipse workspace directory so they'll be detected when adding them in Eclipse. The Apache Tomcat folder is in the workspace directory but it still isn't being detected. I've tried reinstalling Eclipse and deleting any duplicate files but I keep getting the same result. How can I properly set up and configure an Apache Tomcat server in Eclipse Mars?
You can tell it about the Tomcat installation using the Server Runtime Environments preference page.
If Tomcat isn't already a known server type, you might need to install a few more. The WTP FAQ has instructions.
All of those tutorials are wrong. You do want to download a copy of Tomcat from Apache so it has the expected layout when Eclipse looks for the jars needed to launch it, but there's no reason to actually put it in the workspace.
I am also using Eclipse neon and I faced the same problem and the answer was available in a question Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments in the same site already posted
Of the Available Answers the below steps Worked for me:
1.Help-->Eclipse Marketplace
2.Type Tomcat in search box and choose the Option JST Server Adapters(Apache Tomcat,...) and click on Install
3.Then complete the Simple installation steps and after installation Eclipse prompts for a restart accept and then you can see the Target Run time updated with Tomcat server
Note:I am using Windows

How does one deploy a web app from Eclipse Mars to a local install of IBM Websphere Application Server Developer 8.5 ?
I installed the app server from IBM's Installation Manager, upon completion it says its location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01
I tested the app itself using the "First Steps" window which popped up after install, and it looks like it is running fine.
Now, I want to test creating a simple hello world web application in Eclipse Mars, and be able to deploy it to this installed Websphere instance and be able to debug (stop at breakpoints). However, I can't seem to figure this part out.
When I go to my Servers tab in Eclipse and attempt to add a Websphere server, I didn't have any options. So I started downloading some IBM Websphere Developer Tools that I could find. I managed to now have these options for adding server:
"WebSphere Application Server Liberty"
"WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5"
I tried using both, but they don't seem to be compatible with my installed version of WebSphere, because I keep getting the error of "The WebSphere Application Server traditional installation directory is not correct." when I try to plug in the Installation directory.
I suspect I should have a separate option for
"WebSphere Application Server developer V8.5"
or such, however no matter what I search for online, in the Eclipse marketplace, in the Eclipse sites, I can't find anything to install that gives me that option.
You have to use "WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5" and point it to the installation root not the profile root - so to C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer in your case.
For the future, it is not recommended to install WebSphere in the Program Files (x86) folder, I'd suggest something simpler like c:\IBM.
I used the below link Eclipse Mars WAS Plugin . Not sure it still works. For Oxygen working version use Eclipse Oxygen WAS Plugin
I am using Eclipse Juno and installed GlassFish Server 3.1.2 on Windows 7 under C:\glassfish3. Glassfish is running fine and I am able to visit the admin panel under localhost:4848/common/index.jsf. Morevoer I am able to deploy a war file and can start the application. My external GlassFish-server seems ok!
If I want to add a new Server to my Eclipse Juno environment I come to a screen where I can pick a GlassFish variant and afterwards I need to set a JRE and an Application Server Directory. I can't set a path for the Application Server Directory that my eclipse wizard lets me finish the configuration. Thanks in advance for further information!
UPDATE: I got this error message in the wizard after setting the application server directory path to C:\glassfish3\glassfish like it is proposed here: https://glassfishplugins.java.net/eclipse36/#1
There is no valid GlassFish installation in the specified directory. Click the Install Server button to download and install to that directory.
I have JBOSS server. I used to make web applications using just notepad++. I used to create the necessary folders like web-inf and files like web.xml. For larger projects doing all this and manually compiling has become cumbersome. I want to use eclipse for that. I saw this tutorial - http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/BuildJ2EEWebApp/BuildJ2EEWebApp.html . But I don't understand how to make a server. I already have a server. What I want to do is write JSPs and Servlets in eclipse and the build should automatically be deployed in jboss server.
How to to this?
Install JBoss Tools
After that follow the instructions from here to get started and deploy apps to JBoss Server.
To automatically deploy apps after the build you could use a build tool such as ANT or Maven.
I wrote a tutorial for this some time ago: Setting up web development environments with Eclipse
It shows how to setup JBoss within Eclipse (in addition, it also shows how to setup Tomcat and Weblogic), and also shows how to build a simple sample Servlet to verify the proper installation.
If you already use JBoss on the server side, then have a look at the client side as well: http://www.jboss.org/developer
(I haven't tried it myself, but...)
Just open eclipse then go to:
"Help-> Check For Updates" It will check for eclipse updates and installs new availables.
Now "Help -> Eclipse Market Place" Search for "Jboss tools" from search result select one(as your eclipse version) and install it. It will add adapter for new jboss versions.
Now add new server from server view select Jboss version then next add your Home directory of jboss. Then finish.
Step 1 is optional but it sometime it helps.
I am very new to Tomcat and web development in general and apologize for what may be a very silly question.
Consider 2 situations:
1.
I start Tomcat outside of Eclipse.
I use eclipse to create a war file.
I deploy it via admin console.
All is ok
2.
I start Tomcat via Eclipse
I can't access admin console
http://localhost:8080/manager/html greets me with 404 error
Same page is behaving properly when Tomcat is started outside of Eclipse
Please advise

You need to configure Eclipse to take control of your Tomcat installation. To do so:
double click on the Tomcat Server in the Servers view
under Server Locations, select Use Tomcat installation
This is illustrated on the screenshot below:
Eclipse creates a new Tomcat configuration separate to your Tomcat installation, in the 'Servers' project. This allows Eclipse to deploy webapps without interfering with anything you've done in your installation (via the manager app or by editing config files manually).
You can reconfigure Eclipse so that it uses the config from your Tomcat installation (see Pascal's answer), or to re-enable the manager app - but read the WTP Tomcat FAQ first as there are good reasons for it working the way it does. I don't recall ever needing to do this - the 'Servers' tab in Eclipse lets you deploy/start/stop/debug/configure apps as required.
What's the easiest way for me to get Eclipse running with a Java servlet container on Ubuntu 9.10?
I've tried a number of things, hitting dead ends each time. The best setup would use Ubuntu packages as much as possible, not require running Eclipse as root, and be able to debug running servlets.
Dead ends so far include run-jetty-run, the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin, and Eclipse WTP with tomcat6.
A big part of the problem is that the Ubuntu tomcat6 installation is non-standard, splitting directories such that they're not all in TOMCAT_HOME. Eclipse is also non-standard, and the usual plugin installation methods don't work. I got close by installing the WTP through a PPA, but I stumbled when trying to get it to recognize tomcat.
Ubuntu recently includes a pretty full Eclipse package that you can install via Synaptic or such. But I prefer to download my own.
I download from the Eclipse download site. If I choose Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers then I have server environments for all Web app containers already built in. If I set up one for Tomcat (in Eclipse), Eclipse will download and install Tomcat for me. It's quite convenient, although I sometimes have trouble finding Tomcat or its files. Eclipse squirrels them away somewhere.
The server setup menus become accessible to you once you create a Web project (not plain Java project).
You should "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk", download and use the Java EE version of Eclipse, and then create a dynamic web project. In the web project create a jsp page, and right click -> "Run -> Run on server" where you may then install a server connector.
Some connectors are included in Java EE, some must be downloaded. Choose the one corresponding to the server you have downloaded and unpacked, and point Eclipse to the directory.
If all succeedes, the JSP page should then show up in a browser served from the started server.
