Adding Tomcat into Eclipse - eclipse

I am trying to add a tomcat server into runtime environments. I successfully installed tomcat. I already have Java EE eclipse, BUT after I click search under Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime environments and select apache tomcat and then click OK a window with the following text popups: No new server runtime environments were found. What am I doing wrong? I thought after switching to Java EE and installing tomcat I will be able to add the RE... Many thanks in advance!
After trying to add the RE: no tomcat servers list!!!
after trying to search (C:/Program Files/Apache...)
and finally the popup after choosing "apache software foundation" and hitting ok

You need to specify the server runtime in that window. From the browse button, select the base path of the directory where you have installed tomcat and hit next. Hopefully that should do it. There should also be an option to download and install, if you have internet connectivity.
If you dont see any server types in the 'add new Server' dialog, then you are probably missing the server adapters. In which case click on the 'Download additional server adapters' link. This will allow you to pick and download 'tomcat server adapter'. Once that is done.
Some screenshots etc would also help in understanding and helping you resolve your issue.
Hope this helps.

Run time environment click on add button select Apache tomcat-> Click on next button -> Browse the Tomcat 7.0 path -> Finish.

Because you are not having JST server adapters...you are not able to see installed apache in eclipse ....just install this through 'install new software' in help menu ....

You are most likely are missing the Eclipse Tomcat Server Feature. You can either try reinstalling all of the WTP plugins or maybe install Spring STS which I'm sure has the plugin installed.

Cannot install Apache Tomcat in Eclipse

I've downloaded apache-tomcat-8.0.8 archive, then I've unzipped it and tried to add it in Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments by clicking Search and selecting path to the uzipped archive. What I'm getting is Server Error
No new server runtime environments were found.
Any ideas why it might be happening? I have no Apache Tomcat options in New Server Runtime Environment window, which I get by clicking Add in the previous one. There are such options in every tutorial I read.
I think there currently is no adapter for Tomcat 8 in Eclipse.
Updated
Don't use the search button. Click add and choose an adapter first. Open Apache and choose Tomcat 7. Click next and point the installation directory at your Tomcat folder.
It seem that you have Eclipse without Java EE components.
so you see something like
instead of
Check Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments (need to install JST Server Adapters )
Once you have plugins installed follow dialog flow e.g. like
http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jst.server.ui.doc.user%2Ftopics%2Ftomcat.html
Seems like no java EE component.
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).
Then,
Open Eclipse IDE > Click on the Servers tab located at the bottom > right click > New > click on Server.
Select Apache and then select the appropriate version of tomcat server.click Next.
Select tomcat Installation Directory and JRE. Click next.Click Finish.

Tomcat server doesn't reflect in my IDE

I downloaded and installed tomcat 6.0. I am using rational application developer. I am not able to see my tomcat server in my IDE at all. I tried server->new-> and windows->preferences->server->server runtime environment but I don't find it here either. Any idea where I am going wrong or which step i missed? I know i installed my tomcat properly because http:localhost:8080 works properly.
thanks in advance!!
UPDATE
Will a trial license affect my servers in any way? Like only a specific server you can use with the IDE while u have a trial license or something like that?
UPDATE
when I click Add, Tomcat isn't there in the list of options for me to select and that is where my problem arises. I tried clicking on search and the selecting the tomcat folder but i get an error that states - No new server runtime found
I had the same issue and I followed these steps to solve it in Eclipse Helios:
Help -> Install New Software
Choose "Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios" site
Expand "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
Check JST Server Adapters (version 3.2.2)
Please change the download URL in step 2 according to the Eclipse version which you are using.
Hope this helps.

Eclipse Juno Tomcat 6 Remote Host Not Supported

I am trying to add a tomcat 6 server in my eclipse juno but I am getting this error:
The currently selected server type does not support remote hosts
Before juno I had galileo on the same machine and I was able to add tomcat 6 successfully in it without any problems.
I searched on the internet before asking but the only relevant link i got was this:
Eclipse Tomcat7 Server Doesnt support Remote Host
and it doesn't help much.
Pls help
Thanks
I had the same problem with Tomcat 7 and I solved it by importing a Tomcat 7 project from another workspace which already had the server set up. Additionally I added a Runtime Environment for Apache Tomcat 7 (Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments > Add)
I recently had the same problem and it was because I had a previous version of tomcat installed, upgraded to a newer version, deleted to old one, and never changed the runtime environment in Eclipse. It's kind of a poor error message because it doesn't state the true nature of the problem but anyway... The easiest way to fix this is:
Open Eclipse, right click on the workspace and select New Server.
Once you are at the Define New Server wizard click on Apache and select Tomcat 6. This is where you should see the error The currently selected server type does not support remote hosts. Now below server runtime environment click Configure Runtime Environments and new popup will open. You should see Apache Tomcat v6.0 in the preferences window. Select this and click edit to the right.
You will have a new popup titled Edit Server Runtime Environment. Under Tomcat Installation Directory you can browse to the location of the tomcat directory. Assuming you have downloaded Tomcat and put it at the top level of your C: drive you should have something like this: C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.36. Click finish and you should be good to go. Let us know how it works out for you!
I also had the same problem and tried to follow #dbk's solution but I didn't have the "Configure Runtime Environments" in the wizard screen. For me I needed to go to preferences->server->run time environments where I had incorrectly configured runtime environments. So to be clear if you have runtime environments that are not configured correctly you will have to edit them first.

No server in windows>preferences

I'm trying to add Apache server to Eclipse(Juno). I have installed Apache server 7.0, but when I try to add this to the Eclipse environment I don't see the options server in windows>preferences. There must be an option called server in preferences to add Tomcat server.
Please, help me on how to get that option?
Do I need to install any plugin? If yes, please, provide me the link or the name.
In Eclipse Kepler,
go to Help, select ‘Install New Software’
Choose “Kepler- http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler” site or add it in if it’s missing.
Expand “Web, XML, and Java EE Development” section Check JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extensions and install it
After Eclipse restart, go to Window / Preferences / Server / Runtime Environments
You did not install the correct Eclipse distribution. Try install the one labeled "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".
I had the same issue. I was using eclipse platform and server was missing in my show view. To fix this go:
help>install new software
in work with : select : "Indigo Update Site - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/" , once selected, all available software will be displayed in the section under type filter text
Expand “Web, XML, and Java EE Development” and select "JST Server adapters extensions"
then click next and finish.
The server should be displayed in show view
You can also install the required packages with Help -> Install new software...
See http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php for the packages you need to install to have eclipse IDE for java EE developers
Follow the below steps:
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
5.Click next and accept the license agreement.
Find the server option in the window-->preferences and add server as you need
If above answers did not work for you then just click this link https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r/eclipse-ide-enterprise-java-developers download according to your OS. And after downloading and extracting the ZIP open the extract folder and click on Eclipse application icon.
Then just enter your workspace and get started. Now you will be able to see the servers option in Window->Show View, like this:
Goto Help
Eclipse Marketplace
In the find option, search for JST server adapter and then install

Debugging a tomcat project in Eclipse 3.4.2

I downloaded eclipse 3.4.2 and tried installing tomcat plugin (version 3.2.1)for eclipse from sysdeo (http://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html)
I have followed installation instructions but when is start tomcat from eclipse toolbar i got the following error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/util/log/SystemLogHandler
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:2357)
at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Class.java:2671)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:321)

at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:205)
at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:390)
I did follow troubleshoot instructions but no success.
I tried to putting plugin in dropin directory too but still got the same error.
This was working fine in eclipse 3.2 and 3.3
Then I tried using standard inbuilt WTP to set up my tomcat server. I am not sure how it will pick my server.xml in conf directory of tomcat, it seems it is not picking as of now.
How do I associate my eclipse project with this setup. I am able to start the server but when i browse the tomcat start page, it does not show anything.
I would appreciate if someone can provide some ways to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

After trying out few things I was able to debug tomcat project in eclipse 3.4.2
To debug tomcat application/project using eclipse 3.4.2 use WTP plugins which are installed along with it.
Go to Window --> Show View --> Others --> Server
In this view create a new server, please select tomcat installation directory and version information.
Then double click on Tomcat VX.X Server at local host, it opens up configuration settings page
In the Server Locations Section select "Use Tomcat Installation (takes control of Tomcat Installation) and enter deploy path.
In the publishing section select Never Publish automatically and uncheck update context path checkbox.
Voila!! All set to debug tomcat project in eclipse 3.4.2
There is no need to download and copy any extra plugin.
Thanks Juri. Hope this helps.
I'm using Tomcat with Eclipse Java EE version with WTP and it works perfectly. I have Ant scripts which deploy my web app to the tomcat webapp folder. In order to debug, you have to open the Server view in Eclipse, add a new server and choose the correct Tomcat version. Once that's done, open the configuration of Tomcat within eclipse by double-clicking on the server entry in the Eclipse server view you just created. On the left-middle side of the confguration page you should see something like "let Eclipse control the native Tomcat installation", I don't remember the exact text now. You have to choose that. Then you can set a breakpoint in your source code and then start Tomcat in debug mode from within Eclipse's server view.
Hope that helped.
If you are using the Sysdeo plugin, then you don't want to also be using the standard Eclipse WTP servers. To use the Sysdeo plugin, you need to have already downloaded and extracted a standard zipped tomcat directory. Make sure to define CATALINA_HOME in your path. Then, assuming you've correctly installed the sysdeo plugin, go into Eclipse->Windows->Prefs->Tomcat (this is Sysdeo's Tomcat settings, and not the WTP settings). You need to tell the plugin where you've extracted your Tomcat directory, and set it to use Context files.
Now create a new Dynamic web project. Right click it, and go into its properties->Tomcat.
Check it as a 'Tomcat Project'. Give it a context name, and also tell it the directory which would be the base of your war (by default, Eclipse has named this WebContent, I believe). Apply it and close the Window. Right click again your project, and go to the Tomcat section. Add the 'Tomcat Libraries to Build Path' so you can use the Servlet/JSP classes. Finally, click on 'Update Context'. If you go into your Tomcat directory under Conf, you'll see that the plugin has created a context for you that points to your Eclipse workspace. No need for deploying the app to the Tomcat directory. Now, you should be able to click on the Sysdeo Tomcat 'start' button, and your app should be able to connect to your app at localhost:8080/context_name.
