No Eclipse WTP Plugin Apache Tomcat Adapter

Question

I am using Galileo Eclipse, I downloaded the WTP plugin but not the Apache Tomcat plugin when I try to add the Tomcat server ...

any quick idea?

Answer 1

In WTP, you can load plugins for various web container servers or Java EE applications.

To do this, go to Window => Preferences => Server => Runtime Environments => Add... Select the server (s) you want to work with.

However, as Raghuram noted, you probably would be better off starting with the Eclipse developers for Java EE. This is due to the fact that WTP is built on top of many "infrastructure" plugins, such as EMF, and the dependencies are sometimes shaky, because all these plugins are developed in parallel ... and most often, the API changes; -)

Answer 2

Depending on how you installed it, you might have skipped the "JST Server Adapters" (org.eclipse.jst.server_adapters.ext) and the "JST Server Adapters Extensions" which actually contain Apache Tomcat support.

Answer 3

I met the same problem before, but my eclipse is indigo, and also loaded WTP ... orz no tomcat. However, I decided by doing the following:

• Go to Help> Install New Software ...
• In the "Work with" section, select "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo "
• From the list, select "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
• Then select "JST Server Adapters"

After installing this, when I add a new server, I can see that Tomcat is available for selection. :) hope this helps too ~

Answer 4

As akavel said, make sure that " JST Server Adapters Extensions " is installed. Tomcat did not appear for me until I installed this plugin.
