I have this workspace downloaded off the web and I try running it on a tomcat server from a fresh installation of Eclipse Ganymede. This particular project came with its own workspace.
When I select Tomcat v6.0 I get a message
Cannot create a server using the selected type
Older tomcat versions are available, though.
I guess I have to recreate some configuration setting. The question is which one? This seems to be some odd error as creating a new dynamic web project lets me configure tomcat for both of them
I had a similar problem, but my solution is a little simpler. The problem was causesd by renaming the original folder that was referenced by the server definition.
Go to Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime Environments, remove the broken reference. Then, click 'Add' to create a new reference, select the appropriate tomcat version, click next and you'll see the incorrect path reference. Fix it. Move on.
I had this same problem on Ubuntu 8.10 with Ganymede and Tomcat6. This appears to be some sort of bug with Eclipse. If you try and create a server, and it barfs, you can't create another tomcat6 server. To correct this problem, do the following:
close eclipse
go to the {workspace-directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings directory and remove a file called org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs.
start eclipse
add your tomcat6 server in the server tab
kotfu
#id thanks for the solution but something is also hidden in org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
So in order to solve the problem
close eclipse
go to {workspace-directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
remove the files org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
Tomcat 5.5
I order to be able to use the tomcat5.5 server you need to have a writeable catalina.policy file as mentioned in
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.webtools/msg16795.html (= add a READ and WRITE permissions to the files in directory "{$tomcat.home}/conf" (chmod -vR a+rw {$tomcat.home}/conf/*). To be more specific, on the file "catalina.policy". After that, the Tomcat server can be added in the Eclipse servers)
(dead link) http://webui.sourcelabs.com/eclipse/issues/239179
and to have the tomcat5.5 stopped before entering eclipse and started afterwards.
Tomcat 6
In order to be able to use the tomcat6 server the proper solution is to have a user instance of the tomcat6 server as described in
/usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz
RUNNING.txt (on the WEB)
My configuration is Debian/Sid, Eclipse 3.4.1. Ganymede
The error view really is key. There is a lot of detail in there -- if necessary, right-click on the entries and copy their contents into your favorite text editor. One problem that can come up, for instance, is that if you have a server configuration already in place, and one of the configuration XML files is unparseable, the server can't be added. This happened to me this evening -- my <Context> element had a linebreak in it, so it was <C(linebreak)ontext>. This prevented Eclipse from recreating the server configuration.
i finally got mine to work with the default Ubuntu 8.10 tomcat. (the debug command-line on eclipse is a wonderful thing) First i had to make a couple of symbolic links and then change the permissions to a file. (you might want to think twice about changing the permissions depending on your configuration, but if eclipse can't read the file it throws and exception and the gui won't let you continue)
sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat6 /usr/share/tomcat6/conf
sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/03catalina.policy /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/catalina.policy
sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml
Hum it can tricky. Bring the "server" view. If your project has already been deployed, remove it from the server to clean the binding between your project and the server.
Or you can right-click on your project in the project explorer and choose debug on the server. If you don't done it already, Eclipse should ask you to create a server runtime and here you can specify Tomcat 6 and specify the location of your server installation.
You can also see the "problems" view to see any problm in the project imported like the JDK etc...
Look in the error view. If you tried to set one up once and failed, Eclipse seems to try and look there again later just before allowing you to create a new one. If you've deleted the folder or its not there any more, you need to replace it so that you can proceed.
The only way I found to use the Tomcat 6 is changing the ownership of the Tomcat directory to my user. It seems that is not enough to have r/w permissions.
BTW, removing org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs erases you workspace configuration.
I had had same problem until I went to tomcat6 configuration directory and added ownership to my user in addition to root:
cd /usr/share/tomcat6/conf
chown root:myusername ./*
chmod 777 ./*
You can choose some better chmod for security, 777 is just a quick brutal fix.
I have Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) + Fedora 12 + Tomcat 6 extracted from tar(which is why Eclipse could not access it). Eclipse had been complaining "Cannot create a server using the selected type".
What version of Eclipse? Europa? Ganymede?
What do you mean by workspace? An Eclipse workspace is not something you deploy, it holds your projects.
You will need to generate a WAR file (or the folder of files that would comprise the WAR file), a project would typically include an ANT or Maven build script to do this, or if the project used Eclipse's Dynamic Web Project type there might be a 'generate WAR' option somewhere. Without further details I can't help any more.
Adding a new dynamic web project to the workspace seems to 'unlock' the feature.
Changing the ownership to my user worked for me.
In my case, it was the corrupted Tomcat configuration files. Eclipse log was saying:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException:
Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\conf.
The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete.
Got a new Tomcat distribution, removed the old one and all good now.
Finally got this problem solved on my system.
1) got rid of the apt-gotten tomcats
2) installed a typical tomcat from bins at tomcat.apache.org
3) got rid of my openjdk
4) installed the sun jdk (apt-get)
5) removed my web projects in eclipse
6) noticed that when adding a web project you can set "Target Runtime" - I tried setting it to Tomcat 6 and it let me know there was a problem
Maybe none of the above mattered, but here's what might have mattered:
7) KICKER: Window -> Preferences -> Server - Runtime Environments. Removed any crappy runtime environments here, and added the path to my newly installed tomcat.
This Question is maybe old. But I just ran into this problem. My project was not recognized as a web project (no globe icon in Eclipse ).
Suppose you use maven plugin , it failed to convert to web project with command
mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5
In package Explorer, right-click on the project / configure / Convert to Java Facets project/ Dynamic Web project in Eclipse
Et Voilà
Check the .project file at the root before and after the convert.
You will see new natures.

Instead of deleting config settings files, just go to Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments and remove the "forgotten" environment....
Thanks a lot this answer working for me..

I installed Oracle Tools for Kepler with no problem. But when I want to create a new server and fill in the directory to the server (which is valid, C:/glassfish4/glassfish), nothing happens. I can only click 'back' or 'cancel'.

This is really a weird error/bug/whatever. I have exactly the same setup on my home workstation and it works if I choose jdk1.7.0_55 or Default JRE as JDK in the dialog. It doesn't work when I choose jre7.
You can try to select Default JRE and see if this works.
Another option is to try a clean start of Eclipse. Edit the eclipse.ini file located in your Eclipse install directory and insert -clean as first line.
If you have downloaded a multi-language version of GlassFish 4, the problem may be related to that. You then may try it with the english only version.
If this also doesn't help you can also add the server runtime manually in the folder <WORKSPACE>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\ in a file named org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs (if it doesn't exist, create it). It should look similar to this:
eclipse.preferences.version=1
module-start-timeout=300000
runtimes=<?xml version\="1.0" encoding\="UTF-8" standalone\="no"?>\r\n<runtimes>\r\n <runtime id\="GlassFish 4.0" location\="C\:/glassfish4/glassfish" name\="GlassFish 4.0" runtime-type-id\="org.glassfish.jst.server.runtime.glassfish4" server_definition_id\="org.glassfish.jst.server.runtime.glassfish4" timestamp\="0" vm-install-id\="1399586723676" vm-install-type-id\="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType">\r\n <map key\="generic_server_instance_properties" sunappserver.rootdirectory\="C\:/glassfish4/glassfish" sunappserver.runtimeName\="GlassFish 4.0"/>\r\n </runtime>\r\n</runtimes>\r\n
(The format looks a bit weird with the \r\n but this should be correct.)
You have to change the vm-install-id in this configuration, look for the ID of your JDK in the file <WORKSPACE>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.launching.prefs. There should be an entry with your JDK. Copy the vm-install-id from this entry.
Make sure to have the right path to your GlassFish installation in that file.
After saving the file, start Eclipse and try to create a new server. The runtime should then be available when you choose GlassFish 4.0.

Here is the error I'm having trying to build something in Eclipse 3.8 on Windows 7 Pro:
BUILD FAILED
C:\path\to\build.xml:140: Problem creating war: C:\path\to\war\abc.war (Access is denied) (and the archive is probably corrupt but I could not delete it)
Total time: 1 second
I found this already:
problems creating war file
However, I'm running Eclipse as Administrator. In theory, wouldn't this rule out UAC? How about anti-virus?
Eclipse is also installed in the following path:
C:\Users\me\MyCustomApps\eclipse-indigo\eclipse\workspace
The .war file was being written in a folder on the workstation. This folder was shared with a local CentOS VMWare instance. I had a terminal in CentOS that had that path loaded due to the fact that I had recently copied the .war file to my webapps folder.
I simply navigated away from this shared folder in the CentOS terminal window and was able to build the war file without any issues in Eclipse.
I had the same frustrating issue. My solution was, in Eclipse, disable the "Build Automatically" option under the Project menu...which kept regenerating the WAR file. After that, and a restart of Eclipse (not sure if that was needed), I noticed the file no longer existed in my workspace under that project. It showed up one last time under my Eclipse project, but at that point I was simply able to delete it and run a Maven Clean, which was successful. I hope that helps.
Eugene
I had the same issue. A Maven clean install created the target folder with Unknown user credentials. Normally deleting the target folder should solve the issue. In my case a system reboot let me delete the target folder and do a republish.
I was working in a CentOS terminal. Cygwin interferes with windows credentials which causes this Unknown user problem.
I also faced same issue. I increase the Heap Space in eclipse.ini file inside Eclipse folder and resolved the issue. -Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
Under Windows environment variables set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m.
Then in Eclipse Set: Run Configuration -> Maven Build -> (select you Maven Launcher) -> Environment -> Append environment to native environment
It will work for me...
To resolve this issue, please deleted the existing war in the location and check whether the jboss instance is running or not. If it is running please stop the server and then do clean build of the projetc. Uncheck the build automatically in Eclipse.
It will work :)
I'm using Tomcat 7 on Eclipse Juno. I use workspace metadata as server location (Please see my tomcat configurations below).
Also I got a Server project in eclipse [please see the image below] with separate server.xml and other configuration files.
Normally it works fine. The issue came across after I changed the server.xml (in eclipse project) for SSL configurations.
Configurations are working fine. But each time I run the project (Run-->Run on Server) server.xml get modified to the default version. My customized SSL changes are missing.
Also I tried to change server.xml in tomcat installation location (C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.35\conf), but it didn't pick from eclipse.
Can anyone please help me on this?
Thanks
In {workspace}/Servers you will find a folder for every Tomcat configuration, containing several configuration files, including the server.xml. There you then can edit the file directly.
To get changes taken into account restart Eclipse. That is imho better than removing and adding the configuration back all the time. Tested using Eclipse Mars and Tomcat 7.
(the solution is from: Eclipse with tomcat - eclipse modifies server.xml)
I found an applicable solution but not a perfect one.
What I have done is;
1.Changed server.xml file in installation location (In my case C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.35\conf)
2.Remove tomcat server from eclipse server panel (please see the image below)
3.Create a new server in eclipse server panel.
4.Then Server project will be generated new server.xml with my customized changes.
5.The trick is, initially eclipse picks server.xml from installation location when create a new server in panel.
Thanks
Make sure you are editing the files right beneath the tomcat server folder, not the ones beneath the config folder. Check the attached screenshot for the files I'm referring to.
I had this problem too, and the solution worked (I don't have enough reputation points to vote up the answer).
On a similar note, I had to make configuration changes to a port number and that also required me to delete and re-add my tomcat instance from STS (spring tool suite).
On Eclipse, double click on Server to view properties.
check "publish module contexts to separate XML files", and save it.
Run Tomcat server.
Eclipse will be create conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/[appname].xml without touching server.xml
Make sure that the path in the server.xml is same as in the Web project Settings.
To see the Web Project Settings: Right click on the project >> Properties >> Web Project Settings.
Always give the project path over here. The path in server.xml will automatically updated.
Clean Tomcat Work Directory & Republish the project.
I am trying to use Tomcat 6.0 as a web development server within SpringSource Tool Suite 2.7.1. I create a runtime, download tomcat, create a server, etc as per these instructions http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-tomcat/index.html#N10148
When I try to run a web app on the server though I get the following error:
The archive: /Servers/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar which is referenced
by the classpath, does not exist.
I know this bootstrap.jar file does exist in the exact place it says it should be yet it still causes an error. Any ideas?
You might want to check/manually edit your path by going into server properities:
In Servers view,
1) double-click on Tomcat server.
2) Then click on Overview of Tomcat settings appears.
3) "Open launch configuration" then Classpath
4) Edit User Entries here
The trick here was that the location of the jar was inside the Eclipse/STS project directory. STS stores its server configurations inside the /Servers folder and I had decided to store the tomcat runtimes here as well for neatness. Placing the runtimes elsewhere and trying again solves this issue.
None of the above answers provide proper concrete solution.
I faced exactly same issue and i figured out a very simple solution.
Open Eclipse and remove all entries of Apache server
Delete Servers from explorer tab, delete Tomcat from server explorer window, delete server from Window > Preferences > Server > Apache tomcat, delete it, also delete servers folder inside EclipseProjects.
Place Apache tomcat folder outside the project folder anywhere you wish to, you can place in Eclipse_Projects folder but not inside EclipseProjects/projectxyz/.
Now add server in eclipse the usual way and give path of this new location.
This should work!
I had similar issue. This is what worked for me:
When the path begins with slash like: "/Servers/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar" it means that the local project is refered. In the picture - I had 'pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE' as the name of the project.
Open the project ('Servers' in your case or 'pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE') so it is accessible to Eclipse.
The jar should be now visible.
Alternatively go into Run Configurations; delete jars, and add it as an external jar.
Or you may delete the servers configuration, and configure the server again. This works when you may have changed the directory of the server.
I googled my way here on the search terms, "the specified tomcat directory does not exist". (I had moved it from one directory to another.)
For others here for that reason, my solution was to go into Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments and update it there. Then to update the JARs, as in Marcin Wasiluk's answer.
I was also facing same issue and solved it as follows :
My conclusions :
1) In my case issue was coming as I shifted the location of the Tomcat.
Solution :
2) double clicked on the server configured in the eclipse.
3) Click on Open Launch configuration.
4) Change the classpath under classpath tab to the new location.
Hope this would help.
I have faced the same problem.
Solution: In Project Explorer--> Servers(right click) --> Run As --> Run Configurations(click) --> (Select "Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost") --> Arguments(tab) --> Working directory(bottom of window) --> others : (click workspace) --> select the "boostraps.jar" from -->Server.
Eg., My workspace.MY path is:
Project Explorer --> Servers(right click) --> Run As --> Run Configurations(click) --> (Select "Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost") --> Arguments(tab) --> Working directory(bottom of window) --> others : (click workspace) --> /home/ciprus//Servers --> click apply.
this could happen if you probably used previous tomcat server in eclipse, so deleting server and its configuration and creating another one will make it work .
You can try as below steps:
Open Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments
Click add button, choose the what's kind of server you use.
Click next button, give a name to your runtime server and the path of tomcat.
New a new server with the new created runtime server
same problem in my case also i solved::
just remove your older tomacat server and add tomcat 8.0 version only
If you have unzipped downloaded Tomcat archive into Eclipse Servers folder, User Entries in classpath have relative path (e.g. /Servers/....) of bootstrap.jar and tomcat-juli.jar which path I guess is not accessible as a relative path.
Once I removed Tomcat installation directory (with files) outside Eclipse's Servers folder, delete the old configuration and re-add Tomcat, everything worked as expected.
I hope this helps narrow down the cause.
I have a web app built with Maven.
Most of the time, I built the application using Intellij IDEA, but now I want to import the application in Eclipse to see something in this IDE.
After mvn eclipse:eclipse, I add in Eclipse the app, but when I try to add the app to the server (tomcat), I receive:
There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server
Solutions?
You need the project to have a Eclipse Dynamic Web Module facet. You can try doing this via the project properties dialog and looking at project facets, then clicking the appropriate check box. This may not be available however, so you may need to do the next thing.
Create a backup of your project and follow the directions at dzone.com. This'll allow you to modify the project facets via your eclipse .project file.
Keep in mind, once you add those facets, you cannot change them back via Eclipse. Definitely make sure you have a backup before starting.
This step worked for me:
Right-Click on the Project Name, then
Maven-->Update Project..
Click OK
After doing this I was able to see my project in Add/Remove Programs.
As mentioned somewhere else adding Eclipse WTP didn't do any good, however I performed the above step after I had already added Eclipse WTP, so I am guessing that may not be needed.
This was done for Eclipse Juno.
Hope this helps someone.
Edited: You can follow this link as above mentioned I think might have needed WTP and that add a lot of other things into the workspace.
http://blog.teamextension.com/maven-as-eclipse-dynamic-web-module-556
Check whether Maven Integration for Eclipse WTP is installed. If not, install it from Eclipse Marketplace
After installation restart Eclipse
Right click your project and Maven--> update project configuration
Delete tomcat and re create tomcat (clean tomcat,add your project,publish and enjoy)
I've got Tomcat 6, Java 1.6, and was trying to get it to work in Eclipse Juno Service Release 1's "internal server" (whatever that's called.) Here's what I did that worked for me:
(Found these instructions at http://www.mkyong.com/eclipse/eclipse-ide-tomcat-version-6-0-only-supports-j2ee-1-2-1-3-1-4-and-java-ee-5-web-modules/)
I should point out that I followed ClutchDude's instructions to make my project a Dynamic Web Module facet. It didn't work on its own for me, but maybe it was part of making it work in the end.
Using Eclipse (or other text editor), open the file
.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
Find the line that reads
<installed facet="jst.web" version="3.0"/>
3.0 is for Tomcat 7.x (so says mkyong.) Change it to 2.5 (or 2.4).
I restarted Eclipse and it worked for my project.
The reason why this is happening is because eclipse by default looks for the deployment descriptor in the folder {project.home}/Webcontent/WEB-INF/web.xml where as the Maven puts them in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml.
So when you are trying to add your project onto the server eclipse cannot find a deployment descriptor and hence you get the annoying message.
This can be solved by adding the following entries in .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common which can be found in
Project home folder in your workspace if it is a new maven project.
The folder where you already imported from if you are using Import -> Maven projects.
Make the following changes in to the org.eclipse.wst.common
wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/. Add this entry.
Edit --> property name="java-output-path"
Please check the following link from more details. http://java.dzone.com/articles/webapps-eclipse-and-maven.
The comments section has an excellent example with a working project.
This issue was fixed for me my installing additional eclipse modules. in particular, the ones related to m2e-wtp. just do a search for m2e in the plugins search listing for your version of eclipse
If you face an error like "There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server",
then
1) Go to the META_INF of your websvcsEAR and go to the application.xml.
2) Goto modules-> clickDetails and add the module that is existing. i.e., some EAR which your project demands.
3) Click ok
4) Now go to your server -> right click -> add and remove -> add your EAR.
Maybe you don't need add your application to the server's configuration. I think that you must use m2e eclipse plugin in order to launch the app.
For example, in your eclipse you will see a contextual menu called "Run as" if you right-click on your pom file. You can clicking on "Maven build" and Maven will download all the information needed to start tomcat.
I hope this helps you.
I used
mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0
in command line in the folder where I had my pom.xml. Then I refreshed the project in eclipse IDE. After that I was able to add my project.
I was able to resolve this by removing my EAR project from my Eclipse workspace, then re-importing it.
Well, with a Spring and maven project, i got it that way:
Eclipse Version: 2019-06 (4.12.0)
Java 1.8
Tomcat 7
Yes, go to Project Properties >> Facets >> select Dynamic Web Module but dont apply yet!!!
Right under, it should appear a link Further Configuration Available. Click on it, otherwise one will have to edit .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component manually. Update source directory to src/main/java. (source)
Then in Facets window check Java - mine was pointing to 11 even though i don't have Java 11 installed or configured like a JRE runtime. I could only add/remove when changed to 1.8. (source). Note: That was really the problem, why don't Eclipse get this configuration automatically from the project?
Finally Eclipse creates some directories like WEB-INF and META-INF, just delete them.
