I have downloaded and installed tomcat 9 to my machine, but on Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environment, after clicking on Add, I see only Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8, but not Tomcat 9.
What I have done:
1) installed tomcat 9 to local server;
2) updated eclipse to Mars (latest as of 2015-11-25);
3) installed eclipse "JST Server Adapters" and "JST Server Adapters Extensions"
Note:
My purpose of using tomcat 9 is it seems to be the only version that explicitly support java 8 and later, and my web app is using java 8. (http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html)
I also have tomcat 7 exist in project but I also want to keep it in the machine, not to delete it.
Please see screenshot.
Please let me know about any config that I missed!
There are two things to note here:
Tomcat 9 is not released yet. Not a final version that is. If you check the official website, you will see that the only available version is an M1 version. Hence there is no support from Eclipse WTP for this early version. It will come soon, but not yet.
Tomcat 9 is not the only version that explicitly supports Java 8. If you check this page, you will see that "Supports Java version: 8 and later", which in this context means, that it officially support only Java 8 and above. It does not mean however this is the only one supporting Java 8. Theoretically you should be able to use any Tomcat version, in practice a Tomcat 8 will work perfectly well, since it support Java 7 and above. The majority of people with a Java8 + Tomcat combination are using Tomcat 8. Tomcat 8 also has Eclipse WTP support.
I was able to get the adapters for Apache 9 by installing Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools 3.9.4
Use a later version of eclipse e.g. Eclipse Neon.
It should work.
I tried all the above methods but still was unable to find solution for the problem then I did the following and that helped me to add Apache tomcat to my Eclipse IDE:
After following Help>Eclipse Marketplace and installing Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools 3.10 still tomcat was not available so I went to Help>Eclipse Marketplace>Installed>Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools 3.10>Change I put tick on the following and then I got the Apache Tomcat finally in my Eclipse IDE:
JST Server Adapters
JST Server Adapters Extensions
JSF Tools-Tag Library Metadata(Apache Trindad)
Git Integration for Eclipse
Use later EE version of Eclipse! Contains Tomcat adapters 8.5 and 9.0
I had same problem, but not now.
On my side, eclipse marketplace was stucked on previous WST server adapters.
I've used old update feature Windows > Install New Software
In main update site, I found Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development part, where WST Adapters where ready to update ...
Eclipse MarketPlace often embed too much features & plugins.
On my own point view, easier to keep a light eclipse ;-)

After migrating the Eclipse (2021-9) workspace to Java 17, it is not possible any longer to add the Web project to the tomcat server.
Tomcat version is 9.0.54. All projects have Project Facet 17 and the related java 17 JRE.
Also the plugin 'Java 17 Support for Eclipse 2021-09 (4.21)' has been installed.
But adding the web project to the tomcat server is not working any longer. I get the message "There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server".
It only works when I set the project facet of this Web project back to Java 11 again. But that is not what we want.
So far I didn't find a solution for this problem. Do you know how to solve this issue?
Bug
This appears to be a known bug in Eclipse:
Bug 576466 - Can't add Java 17 WebApplication to Tomcat9
Workaround
As for a workaround, the author of the bug report mentions Eclipse does work properly if you switch to using Tomcat version 10.
FYI, versions of 9.x and 10.0 of Tomcat are special in that they are virtually identical, developed in parallel, the main difference being the switch in package names from javax.* to jakarta.* as part of compliance with Jakarta 9.0. See Transition from Java EE to Jakarta EE by Arjan Tijms.
Furthermore, Tomcat 10.1 is built to support Java 11, as part of compliance with Jakarta 9.1. Since you are using Java 17, I would suggest using Tomcat 10.1.x in your situation.
I would like to set up a Java EE 8 Application with NetBeans 8.2 and Maven 3.2.2. In my NetBeans Wizard I can only pick Java EE 7. I checked my versions (see screenshots below) and everything seems to be with the JDK 1.8, so there should not be any problems.. Can anyone relate to this issue? I tried to follow this guide.
It is just an idea but maybe your JEE max version depends on the server you use.
Else, something is strange, when you ask for the maven version and the java version, it gives you two different version of java .
Hope this might help you :)
I have tomcat 9.0.11 installed, but the tomcat 9 server name does not see it to configure it , a solution please
Open your Eclipse IDE
Go to Help > Install New Software > Select a URL from where you want to install > Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development > select JST Server Adapters Extensions Next and Install.
It will install Apache Tomcat Adaptors. Then you will be able to see all the Tomcat Server Versions in your list.
Right this issue popped up for me quite some time after the original post for a windows 10 x64 Eclipse 2020-09 for tomcat version 9. I went through the loops and the jumps to get to a final answer. For later versions you need the JST adapters mentioned above for the 2020-09 version of Eclipse that is located by going to:
Help -> Install new Software -> (in work with put in: https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-12/) -> (open drop down menu)Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development -> Select options :JST Server Adapters, JST Server Adapters Extensions, JST Server UI (the last one is for the event that the server ui isnt present which it wasnt on my version of eclipse)
in the event that you already have one of these installed it won't run an install on that particular one but run an update on it instead.
You have downloaded and installed tomcat 9 to your machine, then on Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environment, after clicking on Add, and then select your downloaded tomcat.
Looks like you have a very old version of eclipse where the newer versions of servers aren't shown. Make sure you install the latest version (photon, or 4.8) of the eclipse JEE package (or some other package with the WTP plugins) and you will see the latest supported server versions in that list.
You should install the latest Eclipse IDE.
It has worked for me:
Before
After
Go to help and choose check for update. Then eclipse will updated to newer version which will show latest version of tomcat server
The instructions for the Java EE tutorial specify to download and install the following :
Java SE SDK
Java EE SDK
Netbeans
I downloaded SE 8, EE 7 & Netbeans 8.0.2
Installed SE ok, and EE ok - it's essentially glassfish4. While installing Netbeans I'm instructed in the tutorial to NOT install glassfish and, when done with Netbeans to add glassfish to the Netbeans installation.
When I do so, I get the following message (I'm pointing # c:\glassfish4\glassfish which is the correct path AFAIK)
Not a valid GlassFish Server installation.
I've seen another person in the last week with this same error, I looked into that problem and it said that there should be a file in a directory to solve the problem (C:\glassfish4\glassfish\config\glassfish.container). That file does exist on my system.
How does netbeans determine a valid Glassfish installation?
ETA: I followed zapl's advice below, reinstalled Netbeans with it's default Glassfish and, when I right click on Glassfish 4.1 Server, all options are greyed except Refresh and Remove (so, no start/stop, no view of Admin Console, Server Log or Update Center)
I ran into the same problem. It is a known Netbeans-Bug: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253008
There appear to be two solutions:
Use a nightly Build Netbeans Version equal or higher than 201506180001
In /glassfish/lib/install/applications/__admingui/WEB-INF/lib link (or copy) console-core-4.2-SNAPSHOT.jar to console-core-4.1.jar. After that netbeans is able to find the JAR file and add Glassfish nightly as a Glassfish 4.1 server.
I renamed the JAR as in solution 2 and now it works fine...
Hope this helps!
I'm attempting to generate a JAX-WS server top down (from a WSDL) for the IBM WebSphere v7 runtime using Eclipse Kepler. The problem I'm running into is that I simply cannot select the web service runtime to be IBM WebSphere JAX-WS, there is no option for it. I've installed the WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools plugin for Kepler and configured the runtime in Eclipse to be the runtime installed on my system. I can also compile applications against the WAS 7 runtimes and deploy them to a WAS 7 server, so it would appear the runtimes are available.
The biggest thing that's frustrating me is that the option is available in Eclipse Indigo (3.x). To make sure there wasn't something awry with my work space or install in any way, I downloaded fresh copies of both versions of Eclipse, started with fresh work spaces, and installed the WAS 7 plugin on both versions from the marketplace. Eclipse 3.x gives me the option, but 4.x does not.
Now, I know these plugins are different versions. The version provided by the marketplace for Eclipse 4.x is 8.5.5011.v20131031_0202 while the version for 3.x is 8.5.1002.v20130402_2058, which based on the version number appears to be about 7 months older. This leads me to my question, is it possible to use the IBM WebSphere JAX-WS runtime to generate web services in Eclipse 4.x anymore? I've tried searching the web all I can but have found no mention of this ability being removed from the plugin. I've even found other SO posts that make it seem like this once was available for Eclipse 4.x, but maybe no longer is with the latest version of the plugin (this linked question is over a year old). Does anyone know the answer to this. Is it no longer possible to do this, or is it actually possible by some other means that that you could share please?
Apparently this is fixed now (see https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=29712397-fdfd-41be-8668-ada56447711a). The version of the plugin didn't change, but it sounds like there was an update to the plugin that fixed a bug.
