No server in Eclipse; trying to install Tomcat
The reason you might not be getting any results is because you might not be having the J2EE environment setup in your Eclipse IDE. Follow these steps to solve the problem.
- Goto Help -> Install new Software
- Select {Oxygen - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen} (or Similar option/version) in the "Work with" tab.
- Search for Web,XML,Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development
- Check the boxes corresponding to,
- Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
- JST Server Adapters
- JST Server Adapters Extensions
- Click next and accept the license agreement.
Hope this helps.
I ended up installing a new copy of Eclipse - JAVA EE, and it all works now.
For future poeple who have the same problem: Try to add server tab from eclipse menu, if it doesnt work, then go do @Tomasz Bartnik solution above, and retry the following again:
Go to WIndow > Show view > Other
search for
servers, select it and press OK
It will then be added to your tabs
Try to install JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extentions. I am running Eclipse 4.4.2 Luna and it worked.
Here are the steps I followed:
Help -> Install New Software
Choose "Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna" site
Expand "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
Check JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extentions
