How can I chose a specific version of Java EE in Eclipse?

Question

It's my first day with Java EE and I would like to understand:

How I can set up a Java EE 7 project? and where can I check what Java EE version I am actually using?

I downloaded the latest Eclipse for Java EE Developers (Neon) and am now trying to understand how all these parts fit together.

I know there is a lot of instructions provided but I would just like to set up my Eclipse environment.

Happy for any help or resource!

@clinomaniac they are asking about Java EE, which is different from Java SE (i.e. a JDK) version — Andy Guibert, Feb 28 '18 at 04:36

You can follow this tutorial http://www.edu4java.com/en/servlet/servlet4.html it's old but it basically the same thing

You have to create a new project (Dynamic Web Project)
The versions of the Facets you choose will determine which Java EE spec version it aligns with
Choose your application server (I personally recommend Wildfly http://wildfly.org/, but the built-in Java EE Preview Server can run Servlets on its own)

And you are ready to go !

Thanks for your answer, but this Link said nothing about Facets or how to set a specific JavaEE version. I am not sure what facets are as well? This [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1809918/what-is-facet-in-javaee) suggests it is a JSF. I found on a tutorial about Arquillian [link](http://arquillian.org/guides/getting_started/?utm_source=cta) explains that you can set the Java EE version via Maven dependency `jboss-javaee-7.0`. – Hermann Stahl Feb 28 '18 at 10:06
