Hi,

I installed Eclipse 3.1, Tomcat 5.0, MyEclipse 3.8.4 beta for 3.1.

I can start the tomcat server from myeclipse. I created a web project but when I choose the ‘Deploy J2EE Project to Server’ the dropdown listbox which should containt projects is empty. Any suggestions ?

Kind regards

If your project is an EJB or Enterprise project the drop down will only show you application servers that are capable of accepting the deployment… Tomcat in this case cannot accept EJB or enterprise projects, it is a Servlet container. Please use JBoss if you need a full J2EE server.

JBoss is not a “full J2EE server”, it has still Tomcat for servlet container.

But. I have project that is “Web Project”. And I also cannot deploy to Tomcat. Why?

Eclipse: 3.1.0 M4a
MyEclipse: 3.8.4 (for 3.1)
Tomcat: 5.5.7

With previous version of platform (Eclipse 3.0.1, MyEclipse 3.8.4, Tomcat 5.0) it worked. I think it is bug, not feature.

JBoss is not a “full J2EE server”, it has still Tomcat for servlet container.

It uses Tomcat *as* it’s servlet contained (or Jetty), but it is a full J2EE server regardless. There seem to be politics/$$$ as to why it hasn’t been certified J2EE compliant yet though.

But. I have project that is “Web Project”. And I also cannot deploy to Tomcat. Why?

Navigate to your Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > App Server > Tomat 5 settings, make sure Tomcat 5 is still “Enabled” and setup correctly. Try and Disable it, hit Apply, then reenable it and hit Apply… I wonder if preferences got screwed up somehow…

Disabling and enabling does not help.
I am trying to use unstable Eclipse (version 3.1M5a) and it is possible that problem is there. But I need JDK 1.5 for annotations and other new features.

When I restart Eclipse and just click on the web project (in package explorer) then I get error and in log file (workspace/.metadata/.log):
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2005-02-28 16:51:39.353

am trying to use unstable Eclipse (version 3.1M5a)

ok this is the problem, above you said 3.1M4, that is supported, 3.1M5a is not.
