I've been spoiled by .NET development and this is driving me NUTS.
I am on Galileo.
Installed the WTP.
Installed tomcat 6 through the windows installer.
If I go (in eclipse) to Window --> Preferences --> Server --> Runtime Environment I get no tomcat option at all, as in a number of tutorials - only a basic folder with the useless J2EE Runtime Library.
What am doing wrong?
Any help appreciated!
Did you install Eclipse with the J2EE development tools also? There are different version of Eclipse you can download, the standard version only comes with J2SE tools.
You should see a Tomcat folder which allows you to choose the installation folder of the version of tomcat that you choose.
Use IntelliJ instead.
It lets me use Tomcat, Jetty, WebLogic, JBOSS, Glassfish, or any other Java EE container that I wish. I can run or debug either locally or remote. No plug-ins or special downloads needed. It's far easier that what I see people going through with Eclipse.
