I'm running Juno on an iMAC with all software at current releases.
I have installed the WTP tools and can edit source in JavaScript and HTML5. I can "run" HTML5 code by right clicking on the project and choosing Open with > Web browser.
However, when I click the Run icon I get the pop up "The selection cannot be run on any server." which is correct as Eclipse > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments is empty. However Jetty and Apache are listed in the plugins. How do I configure Eclipse to "see" either Jetty or Apache so I can run on these as internal severs?

Eclipse resources are a very good basis, but they tend to document not
synthesize and you're asking for synthesis.
You might find such help, you just have to stumble upon it. Google is
your friend. Sometimes, stackoverflow.com is remarkably helpful. In my
opinion, the best helps for Eclipse aren't to be found from eclipse.org,
but from developers who've gone to the trouble to write tutorials, some
of them very good like http://www.vogella.de. I do some of that (not as
good as Lars Vogel) on my own site and there are many others too.
I'm eager to help you, but I'm more on the Java/JEE side of things. I
write (mostly static) HTML and CSS web pages to help others out, but I'm
not a specialist and I just use Vim to do it--not Eclipse.
I hope you find some better help soon.
Best regards,
Russ

Problem "solved". It seems the trick is to install the entire Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development software. I had only installed the components that looked as though they were needed. Nevertheless, the first install failed with errors on PHP tools, so I unchecked these and ran it again. I can now test HTML5 in Eclipse using the HTTP Preview Server.
Thanks to everyone who responded.

I would have had the same problem because I'm a bit of a minimalist myself.
So, down the road, if you ever feel like writing a tutorial, it will
apparently be very welcome to the next guy.
