cannot find class file for javax.servlet.ServletContextListener [message #160817]

I recently downloaded Eclipse 3.2 and the web tools all in one download
version 1.5.0 and got the SE jdk 1.5 from Sun. I installed the java stuff
first, then unzipped the eclipse zips.

Then I brought in an existing web app that other have developed and when I
try to build it I get the following error:
"The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot
find the class file for javax.servlet.ServletContextListener."

When I google for ServletContextListener I see its in Java 2 Platform EE.
Does that mean I needed to download the EE jdk from Sun instead of the SE
jdk? If so, and I download it now, how do I point eclipse to it? Or do I
have the build path pointing wrong somehow?

PS, I entered this same question as a reply, but realized later that I
should have put in more details and am reentering it as new. Hope this is
OK.

Go to :

You need to change some setup and server access.

Thanks Shafiq!

I hadn't installed tomcat yet because I wasn't trying to run or debug
anything yet. So far I'm just trying to get set up so that I can
reproduce the existing war from the source code. I didn't realize that
installing tomcat would add necessary java source files.

This was a big help - thanks again!
