Good day to fellow community members,
I have been trying out the tutorial found in Tutorial: Installing Tomcat 7 and Using it with Eclipse. I have problem in following the following step outlined in the Section : Copy the ROOT (Default) Web App into Eclipse. The step requires me to the Go to the wtpwebapps folder, R-click, and paste ROOT (say "yes" if asked if you want to merge/replace folders/files). This is need in order for me to see the Tomcat welcome page after I start it up. However when I go to the workspace of Eclipse I do not find such folders.
My eclipse is installed in
C:\Documents and Settings\TM31031\My Documents\HOME\ECLIPSE\eclipse
The version of eclipse : eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32
The installation directory of Tomcat :
C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.27
The excerpt of the Tutorial.
Quote:Copy the ROOT (Default) Web App into Eclipse.
Eclipse forgets to copy the default apps (ROOT, examples, etc.) when it creates a Tomcat folder inside the Eclipse workspace. Go to C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.8\webapps, R-click on the ROOT folder and copy it. Then go to your Eclipse workspace, go to the .metadata folder, and search for "wtpwebapps". You should find something like your-eclipse-workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps (or .../tmp1/wtpwebapps if you already had another server registered in Eclipse). Go to the wtpwebapps folder, R-click, and paste ROOT (say "yes" if asked if you want to merge/replace folders/files). Then reload to see the Tomcat welcome page.
Thank you.
ROBINSON

This question would be more appropriate in the Eclipse web tools forum.
The .metadata subdirectory is in your workspace.
You can have as many server containers including multiple Tomcats
associated with an Eclipse workspace as you wish. You don't need to
uninstall any older one or trick out its set-up. Adding a new one only
means that your path to wtpwebapps will include tmp1 or tmp2, etc.
instead of tmp0.
I've used Tomcat 7 and I didn't have to do anything different, and
certainly not all this you're mentioning. All you should have to do is
launch Eclipse on the workspace you intend to use, then add Tomcat 7:
Make sure you're running Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.
Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environment -> Add...
Pick Apache -> Apache Tomcat v7.0 -> Next -> Browse
Then, navigate to the root of your downloaded Tomcat 7
(C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.8), accept it, then Finish your installation.
As late as a year ago, there was a bug in the interaction between Tomcat
7 and Eclipse. I haven't redone my installation. See the following link
(though I'm not sure it's a problem any more or even if it ever was in
Indigo):

Best of luck.
