Please let me know how can I configure jetty server to run from eclipse IDE?
Also, suggest me some good plugins for the same. I downloaded jetty launcher but not able create new configuration with it. Please help.
The best way I found to run Jetty from eclipse (and debug, etc.) was this : http://neelzone.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/jetty-and-eclipse-integration/
Basically, you create a java project, put jetty's code in it, create a context file in jetty/contexts that points to your web application, and Run as Java application.
No need for a plugin.
With Eclipse Kepler, I found two plugins, "Eclipse Jetty" and "Run Jetty Run" in the
market place.
I tried "Run Jetty Run" first but couldn't make it work (css file didn't load), but with
"Eclipse Jetty", it worked out of the box for my project.
I have followed the below steps to set up Jetty server in my eclipse:
(1) Download the 'net.sourceforge.eclipsejetty.launcher' jar (plugin) from the below URL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-jetty/
(2) Copy the downloaded jar file to your eclipse 'plugins' folder (Example: C:\eclipse-jee-luna\plugins)
(3) Restart Eclipse
(4) Go to Eclipse Workspace -> Right click on your web project -> Run -> Run Configurations > Jetty Web App > Set the 'WebApp Directory' > Click on Run
After following the above steps, I am able to successfully deploy & run my web project using Jetty Server in Eclipse.
I hope this is helpful and easy to set up.

I recently upgrade to Eclipse Kepler and I loose the context menu option Tomcat project to create war file to deploy an application.
What can I do?
I am not that much familiar with this plugin.
But can you verify your installation from its official page link .
Its mentioned that you need to add a couple of other dependencies manually. Like DevLoader.jar and the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Launcher plugin
Edit
If you just want to deploy the project to your tomcat, you can use the Run as option as well. Just right click on the project, select Run as and then Run on Server
And to make a war, you can simply export as war from the export option (Right click on project -> export
)
I am planning to using Apache Tomcat for my development purpose in Eclipse IDE. I have created a webservice application, for this I need to configure Installed runtime as Tomcat Server, to run the service.
When I try to install it, I find it was missing in the list of servers.
How can I resolve this?
Window > Show View > Servers. From there, Right click > New > Server and you should see a first group called Apache, with plenty of Tomcats to choose from.
It might depend on the version of Eclipse you are using. I know for sure that Eclipse for Java EE Developers contains these servers, Eclipse Classic or Eclipse for Java Developers might not include them.
I got this problem and found this solution, may be it can help you:
- 1st: Copy file servlet-api.jar in folder install tomcat:ex:C:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar into folder install java ex: C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext.
-2nd: open: C:\tomcat\conf\context.xml
add Text:
< Context reloadable = “true”>
WEB-INF/web.xml
…….
3rd: Download file tomcatPlugin….
unzip into "plugin" folder of eclipse
Start eclipse, go to Window\preference\
In Preference Tab:
Chose Tomcat and config:
+Tomcat version: Your installed tomcat version
+Tomcat home: link to folder that you unzip tomcat (C:\Tomcat5.5)
Manager App username: admin
Manager App password: admin
Clik OK
Restart Eclipse
OK. GOOD LUCK ^^

I have imported maven project in eclipse and configured properly. Its a web application, however I can't see 'Run on Server' option on right click in 'Run As'. I have Eclipse Helios and maven, tomcat plugin installed. should it required any plug-in for this or we need to convert project. Other web applications are getting 'Run on Server' option.
check Project properties / Project Facets / Dynamic Web module.

I had similar issue, unable to run on a server due to project facet validation issue.
I'm using Eclipse "Juno Service Release 2".
And resolved the issue with the following steps:
Right click on the project (on Project Explorer)
Click on Properties
Click on Project Facets
Uncheck the unwanted Project Facet(s).
Eg., I have unchecked Oracle WebLogic Web App Extensions
(because, my server is Apache Tomcat 7)
Apply >> OK
Now, I am able to run my web app on Tomcat server.
Hope this will work your you too.
Thanks,

I've had Jetty recommended as a good container for fast and simple development, in my case, Java Server Faces. I wish to use it with my Eclipse IDE (Version: 3.4.1), but quite frankly, can't figure out how.
I've tried various outdated plugins, only with large amounts of errors in return, so I'm hoping someone could guide me from downloading the right version to installing it, and being able to press "RUN", and see a simple Hello World in JSP/JSF work.
Cheers.
I use the Run Jetty Run plugin. Its very simple and easy to use
You could follow that tutorial from the eclipse help pages.
But check the version of your jetty. From this thread, V6 is recommended (V9 would work too, from Jacob's comment).
I believe the J2EE Preview server is hard coded to that internal Eclipse supplied version of Jetty.
However, you can execute "Window -> Preferences" and on the "Server -> Server Runtime Environments" page, click the Add button. Click the "Download additional server adapters" link and a dialog should appear and eventually list a Jetty Generic Server Adapter you can try.
I have followed the below steps to set up Jetty server in my eclipse:
(1) Download the 'net.sourceforge.eclipsejetty.launcher' jar (plugin) from the below URL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-jetty/
(2) Copy the downloaded jar file to your eclipse 'plugins' folder (Example: C:\eclipse-jee-luna\plugins)
(3) Restart Eclipse
(4) Go to Eclipse Workspace -> Right click on your web project -> Run -> Run Configurations -> Jetty Web App -> Set the 'WebApp Directory' -> Click on Run
After following the above steps, I am able to successfully deploy & run my web project using Jetty Server in Eclipse.
I hope this is helpful.
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 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.
