The "Dynamic Web Project" option for a new project in Eclipse does not appear in the list. Also, the "web" folder does not exist. Am I missing a module from installation?

I am running Eclipse Helios.

If anyone facing problem with eclipse(Oxygen), this answer is for those.

Help --> Install New Software--> place this URL in work with field

Eclipse Oxygen: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen/

Eclipse Photon: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon/

Select the list of software's which do you want to update and complete normal update process. Once, installation completed you have to restart the eclipse. So, you are able to create the Dynamic Web Project.

Thanks,

  • I can not see Eclipse for JEE developers when I choose the oxygen link you provided any idea why ? – Omar B. Dec 20 '18 at 21:35
  • Oxygen will support for JEE developers also. But, you have to install few plugins to support UI code like, JSP, HTML, JS and CSS etc. – Nallamachu Dec 25 '18 at 07:56

The easiest way is re-install your eclipse choosing the "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" version that contains everything you could need to create a "Dynamic Web Project".

But if instead what do you need is a lighter eclipse to develop a Web Java application with aspectj, maven and Tomcat I recommend you to try this:

Steps for Eclipse Standard 4.3.2 http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/kepler/sr2

  1. Add "Web Tools Platform" http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/kepler

- Web Tools Platform (WTP) 3.5.2 + Faceted Project Framework (required to install Java EE Develper Tools) + Faceted Project Framework JDT Enablement (required to install Java EE Develper Tools) + Eclipse Java EE Develper Tools 3.5.2 (dynamic web project) + Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools 3.5.2 (JSP editor) + Eclipse Web Develper Tools 3.5.2 + JST Server Adapters (need it for Tomcat server adapter) + JST Server Adapters Extensions (need it for Tomcat server adapter) - Web Tools Platform (WTP) Patches 3.5.2 + WTP Patches for org.eclipse.jst.commong.fproj.enablement.jdt

  1. Add "AspectJ Developmet Tools" (if you need AspectJ) http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/43/update

+ AspectJ Developmet Tools 2.2.3

  1. Add "Maven Integration for Eclipse" (if you need maven)

- Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi... + m2e-wtp - Maven Integration for WTP 1.0.1

  1. Add m2e for AJDT http://dist.springsource.org/release/AJDT/configurator/

+ Maven Integration for AJDT 0.14.

  1. Click on Help and then click on “Install New Software”.

  2. In Work with paste this link: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/Kepler Change the link according to your Eclipse version, for example for the Eclipse 2020-03 the link would be http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-03

  3. Scroll down to find “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development” option and expand it.

    4.Select the following three options under “Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development”

    -Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools

    -Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools

    -Eclipse Web Developer Tools

  4. Click next and you would see that the software are installing. Wait for some time and then a popup would ask your permission to restart the Eclipse. Restart it and you would find the dynamic web project option under project list.

I guess nowadays all specific versions are integrated into on installer. So, you need choose "...for Enterprise Java Developers" option as shown below. enter image description here
