No server in windows>preferences

Question

I'm trying to add Apache server to Eclipse(Juno). I have installed Apache server 7.0, but when I try to add this to the Eclipse environment I don't see the options server in windows>preferences. There must be an option called server in preferences to add Tomcat server.

Please, help me on how to get that option?

Do I need to install any plugin? If yes, please, provide me the link or the name.

Answer 1

You did not install the correct Eclipse distribution. Try install the one labeled "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".

In Eclipse Kepler,

1. go to Help, select ‘Install New Software’
2. Choose “Kepler- http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler” site or add it in if it’s missing.
3. Expand “Web, XML, and Java EE Development” section Check JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extensions and install it

After Eclipse restart, go to Window / Preferences / Server / Runtime Environments
