What can't I see the run-as server option in eclipse

I'm working on a project in Eclipse Version: 3.5.2

My colleague and I both checked out the same maven project from svn. I'm trying to debug it by running it in Tomcat.

He can see the run-as server option when he right-clicks the project, but I can't.

I can't even see the server option under Window->Show View->Othe开发者_如何学Cr

Deployment of applications on Java EE Application Servers or containers is possible only when you have WTP installed. From the screenshots posted, I can infer that either WTP is unavailable or it hasn't been loaded by Eclipse (for some unfortunate reason).

You ought to perform one of the following:

• You can get a copy of the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers, which contains WTP by default. If you need the Galileo edition, you will need to look into the Galileo archives. Also, you should use a JDK to start Eclipse. WTP might not be available if you use a JRE.
• If you do not wish to install Eclipse with WTP from scratch, install the WTP plug-ins. Use the Galileo update site for this.
• If you are sure that you have WTP installed, but you are unable to find that Galileo has loaded the plug-ins, then you will need to inspect the contents of the .metadata\.log file in your workspace. This would give you a hint as to why the plug-in was not loaded. Start Eclipse with the -clean flag, to get Eclipse to detect the plug-in if it hasn't done so previously.

Note: If WTP has been installed, you should be able to confirm this by view the list of loaded features, as shown below.

Here's are some instructions I wrote up when I configured my Eclipse to work with Tomcat. Hopefully it'll help you.

Open Servers Window

• Open the Servers view.

• If servers view is not open, select menu item Window/Show View/Other...

• Select Servers under the Server section.

Add New Server

• Right Click in the Servers View select New/Server

• Expand Apache and select Tomcat v5.5 Server

• Click Next.

• Select the directory of your Tomcat installation. (ie c:\tomcat)

• Click Finish

This will be the solution for all your questions. A must read pdf.

Did you create a Web Project? If you right click on the project and go to Properties > Project Facets is Dynamic Web Module selected. This works for me.

In case of web application 3.0 in my case i have taken war file of project and deleted existing app from eclipse and replaced it with war it worked for me
