I'm trying to run a Java EE project on my Eclipse(Luna). but I'm getting this "ERROR: '/lib/servlet-api.jar' not found!" it says also that

Possible reasons may include one or more of the following: - The Tomcat 'CATALINA_HOME' environment variable was not set properly - Tomcat was not installed properly

however I have already set 'CATALINA_HOME' as "/usr/local/tomcat7/apache-tomcat-7.0.55" under the run configurations. I still don't get what's wrong with the definition of my CATALINA_HOME, should I set it differently?

    did you try setting `CLASSPATH` as mentioned here? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4654122/processing-java-servlet-javax-servlet-package-not-found – Pat Aug 03 '14 at 13:00

    Also, try using the `Server plugin` to add tomcat server runtime to manage all such settings cleanly. Plugin can be found from marketplace, or alternatively try this link: http://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html#A3 – Pat Aug 03 '14 at 13:06
  • I finally got the reason, it was caused by some extra jars that i added manually to the build path, removing those jars solved the problem. Thanks for your help. – user3262940 Aug 03 '14 at 13:24
