how to add Apache Tomcat6 to eclipse? - eclipse

when i go to windows preferences, there is no Tomcat6 !!!
how can i add tomcat6 new server runtime environment in eclipse 3.5

You should be able to add a new one via:
1. Go to Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments
2. Click on the Add... button
3. Expand the Apache directory to get the list of all Apache servers
4. Select Apache Tomcat v6.0
5. Fill in installation details
If you're not seeing this you might need to check you have the Java EE version of Eclipse and that your installation is up to date.

Installing GlassFish server in luna

I am trying to install GlassFish server manually and have installed the GlassFish tool from Eclipse market place.
However, when I go to
Windows > Show Views > Other > Server > Servers
New->Server still no option for GlassFish is show.
I am still unable to see the GlassFish server option
How do I resolve this?
How did you install the Glassfish Tools? The correct way is:
install Glassfish (outside of eclipse)
click Window->Preferences
click Runtime Environment
click Add
(probably you won't find Glassfish otherwise go directly to 13.) click link Download additional server adapters
choose Glassfish Tools
Next
Finnish
Reboot Eclipse!
click Window->Preferences
click Runtime Environment
click Add
choose GlassFish
choose GlassFish installation directory (possible if you finnished 1.)
Finnish
Now you should be able use the New Server Wizard within the Server View.

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.

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.

Apache Tomcat is missing in Eclipse 3.7

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 ^^

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 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.
