Adding Tomcat into Eclipse

Issue

I am trying to add a Tomcat server into runtime environments. I successfully installed Tomcat. I already have Java EE eclipse, BUT after I click search under Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime environments and select Apache Tomcat and then click OK a window with the following text popups:

No new server runtime environments were found.

What am I doing wrong? I thought after switching to Java EE and installing tomcat I will be able to add the RE.

Update

After trying to add the RE: no tomcat servers list:

After trying to search (C:/Program Files/Apache...):

And finally the popup after choosing "apache software foundation" and hitting OK:

Solution

You need to specify the server runtime in that window. From the browse button, select the base path of the directory where you have installed tomcat and hit next. Hopefully that should do it. There should also be an option to download and install, if you have internet connectivity.

If you dont see any server types in the 'add new Server' dialog, then you are probably missing the server adapters. In which case click on the 'Download additional server adapters' link. This will allow you to pick and download 'tomcat server adapter'. Once that is done.

Some screenshots etc would also help in understanding and helping you resolve your issue.

Hope this helps.
