I have just downloaded eclipse and I am trying to run an application I made at work. I need to set up the working environment to the one I have at work which includes an apache tomcat server. I downloaded apache tomcat 8.0 and unzipped the file but I don't know how to get the Apache tomcat to eclipse.

Open Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Installed Runtimes to create a Tomcat installed runtime Please make sure you downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers check following link for details http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/ws/M4/tutorials/InstallTomcat.html

First of all download Apache Tomcat Server as Zip file from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi. Then unzip and save at some location(Remember the location).

Goto Eclipse->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments->Add Popup will come, choose version of Apache Tomcat Server that you have downloaded Click on Next. Enter the some name of the server(This will appear in servers view), Enter the location of the server and then click on finish.

Now Goto Window->Show View->search for servers and click on OK.

Now Now choose the servers view. The server added by you will appear there. Now double click on that server, it will open the configuration settings menu.

Make sure you have selected "Use Tomcat installation (takes control of Tomcat installation)" and also change the HTTP/1.1 Port Number from default 8080 to something else(8081 for e.g.) if you have any other software using that port. And then save it Now right click on the server and then click on start.

That's it you have successfully configured Apache Tomcat. You should get Tomcat's welcome page when you go and visit "localhost:8081/" in your web browser.

  • Your link is for Tomcat 6. Perhaps 8, or even just 7, might be a more useful link. This link might be quite good: http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html – Paul Hicks Sep 13 '14 at 21:03
  • @Paul Hicks Yes you are right. I posted it quickly. – Govind Sep 13 '14 at 21:05
