Hi,
I have experience using Eclipse for C/C++ and java. I got a recommendation to use Eclipse for web development so I have started to investigate WTP in Luna. I'm having a problem with the startup.
I have started a 'helloworld' project and when creating the project, I had a screen similar to my first attachment, 'newDynamcicWebProject.png'. Note that in that screen shot, the tomcat7 server is designated as the 'target runtime'. The tomcat7 server is running and installed on my computer. When I originally brought up Eclipse, I went to [Windows --> preferences --> server --> runtime environment] screen and added the tomcat7 server to the runtime environment. So I think my instance of Eclipse should know about the tomcat7 server at this point.
I'm following the instructions for running an html program using WTP, and it says to select my html program, 'helloworld.html' and then right click and select [RunAs --> Run On Server]. When selected, the page shown in the 'runOnServerTomcat7.png' attachment is displayed. Note that in this screen shot, the server name is blank, and the only button available to click is the 'cancel' button, implying that the tomcat7 selection is not valid.
But on that same screen, if I click on the 'Tomcat v8.0 server' as shown in the 'runOnServerTomcat8.png' attachment, the server name appears and all of the buttons are enabled, implying tomcat 8 is a valid selection.
I'm confused because I have the tomcat7 server up and running but Eclipse does not seem to recognize that. But it does seem to recognize tomcat8 which it not installed nor running on my host.
Can anyone help explain how I can configure Eclipse to run using the tomcat7 server on my host?
Regards,
Jim Anderson

Jim,
There is an Eclipse WTP forum where you're likely to get more and better
help than in this.
