servers tab not visible in eclipse v3.7.2

Question

Hi i have developed a app which accesses the mysql database for login verification but my problem is that to include tomcat 7 server.

In the path Windows>Show view>Other i am not able to see the servers tab.

I am also not able to update the web tools platform.

Answer 1

Windows ->Customize Perspective ->Command Group Visibility -> check Server if it is unchecked.

make sure you have added tomcat to eclipse if you don not have then add it.below steps will help you.

Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments 
Add
Apache > Apache Tomcat 5.5

You are done.Hope it will help.

Also make sure you downloaded the "Eclipse For Java EE Developers" package as I do not believe that the "Eclipse for Java Developers" contains the Servers view.

Here is the link:-

Answer 2

It might be possible that the JAVAEE perspective is not installed or the perspective is not shifted to JAVAEE.

Try windows > perspective > open perspective > other >JAVAEE

If you can't see JAVAEE in the others tab, then it is not installed. In the latest version of eclipse (2019-12), it needs to be manually installed. Please follow the below link to install it.
