Please be gentle with me. I just know a tiny bit of the Java language, which I don't find challenging at all. But I know nothing about the daunting ecosystem of IDE's and tools and packages just to get started building something useful.

I just want to build a servlet. I have Java SE 8 in the folder %Program Files%\jdk1.8.0_65. In the program files folder, I also have jre1.8.0_65, jre6 and java_ee_sdk-7u1 (Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 SDK Update 1).

I also have Eclipse Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) installed.

All of this is installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.

I am following this tutorial to create a servlet using Java with the Eclipse Java Mars IDE.

Following the instructions laid out in that article, I clicked File -> New -> Other.

However, the dialog box I get after doing that does not have the item Web as depicted in the picture in that article.

My dialog box looks like this:

What am I doing wrong?
