Each time I run a program for the first time in Eclipse, I am prompted to choose between the alternatives
- Run on Server
- Java Application
Now, I might be at fault since I worked with some Tomcat servers through Eclipse a while back, but I cannot for the life of me find out how to remove Run on Server as an option. In more than 99% of the cases for me, I would want to run it as a Java Application.
You could uninstall the Web Tools (WTP) features, which is what contribute the Run on server capability. Open the About Eclipse dialog, click the Installation Details button and then look for "Eclipse Web Developer Tools" in the Installed Software tab.
It might be hard to find depending on what package you started with and how things were added, because any feature can be embedded into others. On my installation, it's under Eclipse IDE for JEE Developers > Java EE IDE Feature.

I am following an Eclipse Modeling Framework tutorial (and also this one). At one of the steps, I need to run a project (the .editor project according to the tutorial) by right clicking on it and selecting Run As -> Eclipse Application. But there is no such item in my eclipse!. I can only see "Java Application" and "Java Applet" in Run sub-menu.
(I am using eclipse-java-kepler-R-win32-x86_64.)
I installed Eclipse Plugin Development Tools (from Help -> Install New Software...) and now, Can run as Eclipse application :)
Running as Eclipse application starts a new instance of Eclipse with the plugin projects installed (the generated projects in my case). So, it takes a lot of memory and can slow down the system. You can export the projects as a plugin for a better performance. you can use lots of available tutorials like this vogella tutorial for Eclipse plug-in development.
I'm trying to install Tomcat in Eclipse but I can't get a server tab to show up.
When I go to Window -> Show View -> Other and type in "server", I don't get any results.
When I go to File -> New -> Other and type 'server' I also get nothing.
Does anyone know what happened to my servers and where I can find them? (I've never used Eclipse with servers before).
Try to install JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extentions. I am running Eclipse 4.4.2 Luna and it worked.
Here are the steps I followed:
Help -> Install New Software
Choose "Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna" site
Expand "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
Check JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extentions
For future poeple who have the same problem: Try to add server tab from eclipse menu, if it doesnt work, then go do #Tomasz Bartnik solution above, and retry the following again:
Go to WIndow > Show view > Other
search for servers, select it and press OK
It will then be added to your tabs
The reason you might not be getting any results is because you might not be having the J2EE environment setup in your Eclipse IDE. Follow these steps to solve the problem.
Goto Help -> Install new Software
Select {Oxygen - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen} (or Similar option/version) in the "Work with" tab.
Search for Web,XML,Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development
Check the boxes corresponding to,
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
JST Server Adapters
JST Server Adapters Extensions
Click next and accept the license agreement.
Hope this helps.
I ended up installing a new copy of Eclipse - JAVA EE, and it all works now.
The Web Tools Platform provides the Java EE development tools, and is included in the IDE for Java EE Developers. Among other things, it provides the Servers view and makes it easy to launch a Tomcat server from there. You can either download the IDE for Java EE Developers, or go to the Help menu and Install New Software, looking for the Java EE features.
Steps to follow:
1.Goto Help -> Install new Software
2.Give address http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen and name as your choice.
3.Search for Java EE and choose 1.Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
4.Search for JST and choose 2.JST Server Adapters 3.JST Server Adapters Extensions
5.Click next and accept the license agreement.
Find the server option in the window-->preferences and add server as you need
In {workspace-directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings delete the following two files:
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
Restart Eclipse
The reason you might not be getting any results is because you might not be having the J2EE environment setup in your Eclipse IDE. Follow these steps to solve the problem.
Goto Help -> Install new Software
Select relevant dropdown entry {Oxygen - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/<?>} (or Similar

You can install Tomcat server form Eclipse market place.
Help -> Eclipse Market Place search for 'Tomcat' -> Install Eclipse Tomcat plugin.
After installation restart eclipse.
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 'Servers' doesn't exist.
Therefore download correct Eclipse IDE. It is Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers(Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers). This way is easy.
You have probably installed Eclipse for Java Developers instead of Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers, server tab and some other are not available.
You don't have to uninstall. Just rerun eclipse-inst-win64.exe and choose Java EE IDE
JAVA EE IDE Installation
I have Eclipse IDE for Java EE packages installed. How can I add the C/C++ IDE to the current Eclipse install? Or is there a better way to do this?
Use Help > Install New software to open the Install dialog. There, you'll need to select the right update site from the drop-down list at the top. Depending on which version of Eclipse you have, it will most likely be Indigo or Helios.
After selecting the update site, the list below will populate with available features to install (be patient, it might take a minute). Look for the "Programming Languages" group in that list, expand it, and check the box next to "C/C++ Development Tools." If desired, you can also select the "incubation" features for C/C++ or CDT.
Click the Next button and follow the prompts to download and install CDT.
I use Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers, Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3RC2) on Ubuntu. Here are the steps I installed C++ plugins:
Help > Eclipse Marketplaces..
In Find input box, enter C++
Scroll down to locate Eclipse C/C++ IDE CDT 9.2 (Neon.2)
Click Install
Note: you may see different C/C++ IDE CDT version if you use a different version of Eclipse Java EE IDE
In addition to the steps above to follow, I want to share a side effect of installing C/C++ modules in Java EE Eclipse: your custom hotkeys may not work.
The fix is:
Try to "Restore command" in "Preferences" - "Keys".
If it doesn't help, you can try to close Java perspective and reopen it. That did the trick for me.
I noticed that when the installation finishes and we restart, we see a C++ welcome screen. I guess that after a installation of CDT, this perspective and its hotkeys takes precedence over Java perspective, thus, reopen Java perspective make Java hotkeys take precedence over C++. But it's more like a bug.
I have Standard version of eclipse Galileo. Now I want to develop enterprise applications on it. Any idea how can I get Java EE perspective? How to install Java EE tools in the standard version?
I had the same problem. I installed the latest Eclipse platform, Indigo, first using the Ubuntu Software Center, and when I didn't see the JavaEE perspective, I though I'd gotten the wrong one. I deleted that and installed the Java EE version downloadable from eclipse.org -- but still no Java EE perspective available. Then I read the advice above (and elsewhere) about installing the WTP plugins.
I decided to blow away the previous installation of Eclipse, because I prefer installing everything through the normal package management system. Then, after having installed Eclipse again, through the Ubuntu Software Center (and not seeing the Java EE perspective)... but I'll tell the rest of the story as a set of instructions:
Install Eclipse. In Ubuntu, you can do it at least in these two ways:
Go to the Ubuntu Software Center, search for eclipse, and install "Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE"; or
Give the command sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt eclipse-emf eclipse-emf-examples eclipse-emf-sdk eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde eclipse-platform eclipse-platform-data eclipse-rcp eclipse-rse eclipse-xsd eclipse-xsd-sdk (those are what I have after doing all these steps; they might not all be necessary, but can't hurt)
Open Eclipse, and give a directory to use as a workspace.
Go to "Help" -> "Install New Software...".
In the new dialog, in the "Work with:" pull-down list, select "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigoIndigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo".
Click the checkbox to the left of "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development".
Click the "Next >" button. The installation will start.
The dialog will now list the items to be installed, and ask you to confirm the installation. Click the "Next >" button. The installation will complete.
Now, back in the main window, in "Window" -> "Perspective", I still could not see "Java EE" -- but it might have been under the "Other" selection; I didn't check, and that's where it can be found now that I've done everything described here.
Click on "File" -> "New" -> "Dynamic Web Project". The existence of this selection means that you've successfully installed the web development tools.
Configure the project. After you've pressed "Finish", Eclipse should ask you whether you want to open the Java EE perspective.
By the way, some of those Eclipse packages that I give for installing through apt-get might have been installed during the Eclipse software update phase, as I didn't install all of them by myself. The most important ones are eclipse, eclipse-platform, eclipse-platform-data, eclipse-pde, and eclipse-rcp. The descriptions of all of them are:
eclipse - Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
eclipse-cdt - C/C++ Development Tools for Eclipse
eclipse-emf - Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF)
eclipse-emf-examples - Eclipse EMF/XSD examples
eclipse-emf-sdk - Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) - (Source/Documentation)
eclipse-jdt - Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT)
eclipse-pde - Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE)
eclipse-platform - Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language
eclipse-platform-data - Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language (data)
eclipse-rcp - Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)
eclipse-rse - Eclipse Remote System Explorer (RSE)
eclipse-xsd - XML Schema Definition (XSD) for Eclipse
eclipse-xsd-sdk -
The standard edition can be upgraded to J2EE edition by installing the different plug-ins like WTP and so on.
Did you try to look at the update site for Galileo?
It's better to download newest version of eclipse "for Java EE Developers".
It also includes standard version.
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
Install New Software
In Work With input box paste this url: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/{version}/
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.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/oepe-network-installer-2371168.html
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.
