Configuring Tomcat 6 to Eclipse

Eclipse IDE(Integrated development environment) is multi-language software development Environment with an extensible plugin system. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP.

Step 2 :

  • Install Tomcat and extract Eclipse.       
  • After extracting eclipse, run it by clicking it's exe file. It doesn't need installation.  
  • When you will run it, it will ask for creating a workspace. This workspace is actually your working directory ,where all the programs created by you ,with the help  of Eclipse, will be saved.

Step 3 : Select the option from menu bar as : window > Preferences. When you click on Preferences, you will see a configuration box. Select the option Server>Runtime Environments. as given below :

After configuring Tomcat server with Eclipse, you can run it directly by right click on your program and selecting "run as " > "run on server" or by running through shortcut. or menu bar options.
