How to add Java EE plugin in plain eclipse - java

I downloaded a plain eclipse which does not have java ee prospective. Now I want to add Java EE in ecipse. How can I do it?
I want add tomcat as a server in eclipse.

Just install those plugins you need via the project update site:
Help > Install New Software...
In the Work with: drop-down select your release (in my case Indigo 3.7.1), wait a few seconds and eclipse shows you all plugins available under the project's umbrella. Then select the plugins you need:

If you're going to be using Spring, you can download the Springsource Tool Suite from here.

JSF facets not available in Eclipse

So I am watching a tutorial about how to configure JSF in eclipse. I understand that you click file -> new -> Dynamic Web Project.
And then it gives you a few options. The Target Runtime will be (for me) Apache Tomcat version 8, and dynamic web module version will be 3.0. And in the configuration drop-down you are supposed to see Java Server Faces 2.0v or 2.1v, but I do not have that option.
Does anyone know why?
That can happen if you started with plain "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" instead of with "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" and then manually added some plugins on it. Throw away your current Eclipse install and restart clean with "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".
If you dont see the JSF options, then its not part of your original eclipse version. In that case, you need to download the extra tools that you want. Go to Help -> Install New Software and then type the following URL in the box http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler This URL is for Kepler version of Eclipse. You need to change it according to your eclipse version. jBossTools have JSF features. Restart the eclipse once the s/w is installed successfully.

Finding Eclipse Plugin Wizard

I have the following version of Eclipse:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Kepler Service Release 1
Build id: 20130919-0819
I am trying to use the Plug-In wizard, but when I try to open a new project, this wizard is not one of the options. I downloaded this standard version of eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Is there something else I have to download or was I supposed to download a different version?
Thanks in advance!
In order to work with Eclipse Plugin development, you need to use SDK version of Eclipse. You can download Eclipse SDK 4.x from this link
SDK version contains all the necessary tools to build Eclipse plugins. From the website,
Developers who use the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) will find that the Eclipse SDK 4.2 makes it easier to build great looking rich client applications
You should have the everything. File > New > Project... should open a wizard with Plug-in Development > Plug-in Project as one of the wizard selections:

Can't create Java Web Application in NetBeans

I want to write a java web application using NetBeans 7.0.1, but i can't find the option Java Web in File -> New Project. Do i need to get any special Java edition to do that?
Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins.
Click on the "Available Plugins" tab.
Check the box for "Java EE Base" (note: on older NetBeans versions, the plugin to install was called "Java Web Applications").
Click the "Install" button.
Click your way through the dialogs until the plugin and its dependencies are installed.
Restart the IDE.
You should now find "Java Web" in File -> New Project.
Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins.
Click on the "Available Plugins" tab.
Check the box for "Java EE Base".
Click the "Install" button.
Select "Web Projects" from plugin list
Check the term & condition checkbox
Click next and wait while NetBeans downloading the plugin
Restart IDE
My answer will provide images for you to understand easily.
Go to Tools -> Plugins like this image
In Plugins windows, select Available Plugins tab, choose and install Java EE Base like this image
Now just follow the instruction and install the plugin, when it's done, restart the Netbeans, then you can create Java Web Application like this image
I had problems while finding the plugins under the Available plugins tab. The reason was under the settings tab, the three checkboxes were unchecked. I checked them all and then I can see the plugins under the Available plugins Tab.
And then I followed the steps mentioned in other answers. Hope this is also useful to this context.
Well, maybe you cant find Java Web in the installation list, so, search for Java EE Base, in Netbeans 7.x is the option, and includes the comment that includes Java Web and EE.
regards
If you have NetBeans 8.2+ and installed the EE edition, open the plugin panel from Tools -> Plugins. Go to the installed tab and check the Java EE Base plugin. Then activate that plugin.
If you need other options as well the select all the plugins under the Web and Java EE category and activate them.
In my case Above mentioned thing didn't worked for me.
I have installed multiple JDK (JDK version 8 and 9) due to which Netbeans 8.2 might not working as expected and then I was unable to create project.
Then I removed JDK9 and cleared cache from \Users\admin\AppData in windows.
Then I was able to create Java Project.

Why does my Eclipse plugin show up in Eclipse RCP version, but not in other versions like Java and Java EE?

I have developed an Eclipse plugin using the RCP version of Eclipse. I have used the plugin via a 'run application' launch as well as by exporting the plugin as a JAR and putting it in the plugins directory of Eclipse RCP.
The problem is that when I put the plugin JAR in the plugins directory for my Java version or Java EE version of Eclipse, it doesn't seem to be loaded as one of the plugins. I go to the preferences to look at the pref. page for my plugin and it isn't even listed.
This is my first Eclipse plugin, so I don't have much experience using plugins across different distributions of Eclipse and so forth. Any ideas of how to fix this? I would like to be able to use the plugin in any Eclipse (Java, Java EE, RCP, etc.)
Try putting your plugin under install/dropins/plugins directory. As of Eclipse 3.5, adding plugins directly to the root plugins directory isn't supported.
This should be enough for you to experiment further, but this isn't a good way to install finished plugins. The best way to install plugins is via a published repository. You will need to create a feature to hold your plugin and then use Export -> Plug-in Development -> Deployable features wizard or investigate command line build solutions such as pdeBuild.
