Setting up tomcat with eclipse on first jsp program

I am just following along the spring tutorial (http://static.springsource.org/docs/Spring-MVC-step-by-step/part1.html)

I downloaded this version of Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/galileosr1

I guess tomcat is a separate install?

Update Is Ant ready to go with eclipse, or that is yet another thing I have to get? :)

+2 A:

Yes, Tomcat needs to be installed seperately from Eclipse. Ant shouldn't require any seperate download/installation, but if you are interested in using Maven then I'd suggest installing the m2eclipse plugin.

You'll also need the eclipse tomcat plugin. With Eclipse, chances are whatever you need that it doesn't come by default, there is probably a plugin for it already.

Ant should be good to go though.

If you download the j2ee edition of eclipse you don't need to install anything else (besides unzipping Tomcat itself somewhere).

Ok I did get teh j2ee edition, but I figured tomcat would be setup automagically!

There's no J2EE version. There's however a Java EE version.

If you install the JavaEE version of Eclipse, it comes with a lot of tools that are useful for web development. You can also add server adapters quite easily (and even install Tomcat when adding servers). Here is a quick WTP Tutorial that goes through installing Tomcat. In my opinion, WTP is a must have for Java EE developers using Eclipse!

Eclipse already comes with Ant built in.
