Right click the POM file and run as maven clean 4. run as maven generate sources 5. run as maven build. 6. passed the command tomcat:run But getting the following error,

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:tomcat-maven-plugin:1.1:run (default-cli) on project simplehelloworld: Could not start Tomcat: Protocol handler initialization failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:8080 -> [Help 1]

Could not start Tomcat: Protocol handler initialization failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:8080

above error means that there is already a service running on port 8080. is there a tomcat server running already?

if any service running on 8080 then you close shut it or you need to change the connector configuration in server.xml to something like below :

<Connector port="9090" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"/>

you can find if this port already in use or not, refer this link.

I have checked the port, but nothing is running. – user2112700 Apr 29 '15 at 07:19
did you try `mvn tomcat:deploy`? Note :- with tomcat 7 :- `mvn tomcat7:deploy` might be eclipse is holding that port, you can try to restart eclipse, if you are sure that this port is not in use by anyother application – Anchit Pancholi Apr 29 '15 at 07:25
And give a try by using another port. I think then you can have more clear picture of issue. – Anchit Pancholi Apr 29 '15 at 07:31
