I was trying to install WildFly/JBoss Server in Eclipse IDE Photon Release Candidate 3 (4.8.0RC3) but I'm getting an error. I have attached the screenshot for the same.
Would somebody help me out here in this issue?
I've had the same problem.
In Eclipse -> Help -> Eclipse Marketplace, search for "TM Terminal". Uninstall it, restart Eclipse and try to define a new server again. It will now install Wildfly, at least for me it worked.
I've had the same problem. I was using Eclipse 2021-06 version and whatever I do I couldn't get the JBoss Community folder with different Wildfly servers to show.
I've downloaded the newest Eclipse (it was 2022-09 at this time) and everything was there after I installed the JBoss Tools in Eclipse Marketplace.
I'm doing a project right now, and I'm using Tomcat 7.0 running in Indigo Eclipse IDE, but I need to use Tomcat 8.0 because it supports servlet 2.4...
Well, I searched (and researched) a lot, but I only found answers and advice for others versions of Eclipse, like Luna, Sun, and stuff xD... but no Indigo was there.
When I tried to configure my server in Eclipse, it only showed the 7.0 version of Tomcat.
I'm starting with this, so I don't remember all of Eclipse's vocabulary...
Please help me. Thank you very much !
The Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Launcher plugin maybe what you want. You point it to an external Tomcat installation and it provides everything you'll need:
ability to configure JVM Options (-D command line switches)
a start/stop button in the Eclipse UI
console output from Tomcat inside Eclipse
debugging bindings so you can breakpoint a running Tomcat app
I've use it for years, works on all versions:

I had just installed eclipse luna and I use the marketplace to install oracle package to use glassfish v4.0. Everything went ok but when I'm trying to install it they still show me an error at the server root path (Error: The specified directory is not a valid GlassFish installation.)...I don't know why? this happen even giving it a path. have anyone resolve this issue?.
I got caught by this trying to following along with the Lynda.com tutorial on web services with Java EE. You need to download and install Glassfish and then point the server root to the glassfish directory. Here are the steps I took:
download glassfish from here: https://glassfish.java.net/download.html
unzip the zip file: this is essentially the install step
navigate into the installation to the glassfish folder: this what you point eclipse to
The high level answer is here: How do I use Glass fish server with eclipse luna for Java EE?
Possible duplicate of How do I use Glass fish server with eclipse luna for Java EE?
However, you need to specify the "glassfish" folder under the extracted GlassFish files, for example ...\glassfish4\glassfish
First Download full platform from https://glassfish.java.net/download.html
Unzip it.
At the window you read this error, go to the browse for server root and find the glassfish folder inside your unzipped folder. Click on it and your error will be gone.
EDIT 2014-02-07: Eclipse Luna is here, and support for Tomcat 8 is included in the bundled WTP : ) Happy days!
Tomcat 8 is still in development, but you can get it here. Now there is a RC version on the main Apache Tomcat page. Update 2/27/14: 8 is released now, and adapters built for WTP, just not integrated into eclipse bundles yet. Soon!
In Eclipse Kepler though, there is no supported adapter in the add server list for Tomcat 8. the Tomcat 7 adapter doesn't work, and it doesn't look like there's a new extension for it to download in the "Install new Extension" dialog.
Is my only option to get it (Tomcat 8) running locally outside of Eclipse and maybe hook a remote debugger into it for stepping through code? Will that even work for Eclipse Kepler + Tomcat 8? IntelliJ IDEA 12 couldn't do it in the 30 minutes of time I put into that path.
If you're wondering why I'm trying to do this at all, I'm playing around with Spring 4.0.0.M1 and 4.0.0.M2 WebSocket stuff. They (per Rossen Stoyanchev's Spring 4.0 blog post and examples) use JSR-356, which is implemented in Tomcat 8, theoretically to be back-ported at some point to Tomcat 7.
An answer to the broader question of "How can I easily get a development environment going for Spring 4 WebSocket support?" would be nice, but it would also still be nice to know how to plug in unsupported web servers to Eclipse.
Cheers,
E
**Update 8/7/13 - Rossen Stoyanchev updated the Spring 4.0.0.M2 blog and added some jpda wisdom and shared that yeah, he's using remote debugging:
That said, it's not very hard to debug with Tomcat 8 inside Eclipse. Just change the last line in bin/startup.sh to be (note the addition of "jpda"):
exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" jpda start "$#"
Inside Eclipse create a remote debugging configuration for localhost port 80, launch it after starting Tomcat, and you can put breakpoints in the source code.
Thanks Rossen!
**Update 9/29/13 - Eclipse Kepler SR1 just arrived, but alas! No WTP support for Tomcat 8. Tomcat 8 is up to RC3.
**Updates 12/5/13
Blog url fix.
Tomcat 8 up to RC5.
Bug to track WTP fix in Eclipse to support Tomcat 8 HERE.
IntelliJ IDEA new version 13 says it now supports Tomcat 8. Haven't tried yet personally.
UPDATE: Eclipse Mars EE and later have native support for Tomcat8. Use this only if you have an earlier version of eclipse.
The latest version of Eclipse still does not support Tomcat 8, but you can add the new version of WTP and Tomcat 8 support will be added natively. To do this:
Download the latest version of Eclipse for Java EE
Go to the WTP downloads page, select the latest version (currently 3.6), and download the zip (under
Traditional Zip Files...Web App Developers). Here's the current link.
Copy the all of the files in features and plugins directories of the downloaded WTP into the corresponding Eclipse directories in your Eclipse folder (overwriting the existing files).
Start Eclipse and you should have a Tomcat 8 option available when you go to deploy.
I follow Jason's step, but not works.
And then I find the WTP Update site http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/.
Help -> Install new software -> Add > WTP:http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ -> OK
Then Help -> Check for update, just works, I don't know whether Jason's affect this .
The only thing the eclipse plugin is checking is the tomcat version inside:
catalina.jar!/org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties
I replaced the properties file with the one in tomcat7 and that fixed the issue for eclipse
In order to be able to deploy the spring-websockets sample app you need to edit the following file in eclipse:
.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
And change the web version to 2.5
<installed facet="jst.web" version="2.5"/>
This should be a comment under the accepted answer, but I don't have 50 reputation yet.
At http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
I first selected Released 3.5.2, which like others did not work for me.
Then I picked Integration 3.6.0, and saw Tomcat 8 for New Project of Dynamic Web Project.
I have tried below and it worked for me.
In eclipse go to Help->Eclipse Marketplace
Type JST extension in search box.
Install JSP Adapters for Luna
Restart the eclispe
You should be able to see Tocmat 8 server while adding new server.
In addition to #Jason's answer I had to do a bit more to get my app to run.
Download & unzip Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (Note the EE edition)
Download & unzip Eclipse's Web Tools Platform Stable (Milestone) 3.6+
Overwrite the two folders in the Eclipse IDE, with the WTP folder(s) (features & plugins folders)
Download and unzip Tomcat 8
In eclipse new -> other -> server -> Tomcat 8 (choose the unzipped location)
If you get a 404, click the Tomcat 8 in the Servers view -> Server Locations -> Change to Use Tomcat installation, and change the Deploy path: to webapps *
(If you can't edit this, delete any published webapps)
To add the Tomcat 9.0 (Tomcat build from the trunk) as a server in Eclipse.
Update the ServerInfo.properties file properties as below.
server.info=Apache Tomcat/#VERSION#
server.number=#VERSION_NUMBER#
server.built=#VERSION_BUILT#
server.info=Apache Tomcat/7.0.57
server.number=7.0.57.0
server.built=Nov 3 2014 08:39:16 UTC
Build the tomcat server from trunk and add the server as tomcat7 instance in Eclipse.
ServerInfo.properties file location : \tomcat\java\org\apache\catalina\util\ServerInfo.properties
The latest version of Springsource STS (3.6) supports Tomcat 8. It is based on eclipse Luna 4.4 and supports Java 8. Have at it!
Alternatively we can use eclipse update site (Help -> Install New Features -> Add Site (urls below) -> Select desired Features).
For Luna: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/luna
For Kepler: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/kepler
For Helios: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios
For older version: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
Downloaded Eclipse Luna and installed WTP using http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/luna
Downloaded Tomcat 8 and configured new server in Eclipse. I am able to setup tomcat 8 now in Eclipse luna
If you have untarred your own version of tomcat v8 with a root user into a custom directory (linux) then the default permissions on the TOMCATROOT/lib directory do not allow normal user access.
Eclipse will not be able to see the catalina.jar to check the version. So no amount of fiddling aorund with the server.properties will help!
just add chmod u+x lib/ to allow normal user access to the libs.
I try to add tomcat on eclipse I made window ---> preferences ---> servers-----> runtime environments then I click add. But I can't find tomcat in the list of server.
I get like in the picture. When I made some research I find that I should use version of eclipse greater then 3.7. I use eclipse 3.8 and apache-tomcat-7.0.34.
Any one can help me what can be the problem or there is another configuration?
When I install Eclipse Helios I can get the list of server.
The problem is solved
