Tomcat server doesn't reflect in my IDE

I downloaded and installed tomcat 6.0. I am using rational application developer. I am not able to see my tomcat server in my IDE at all. I tried server->new-> and windows->preferences->server->server runtime environment but I don't find it here either. Any idea where I am going wrong or which step i missed? I know i installed my tomcat properly because http:localhost:8080 works properly. thanks in advance!!

UPDATE Will a trial license affect my servers in any way? Like only a specific server you can use with the IDE while u have a trial license or something like that?

UPDATE

when I click Add, Tomcat isn't there in the list of options for me to select and that is where my problem arises. I tried clicking on search and the selecting the tomcat folder but i get an error that states - No new server runtime found

Solution

  • I had the same issue and I followed these steps to solve it in Eclipse Helios:

    1. Help -> Install New Software
    2. Choose "Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios" site
    3. Expand "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
    4. Check JST Server Adapters (version 3.2.2)

    Please change the download URL in step 2 according to the Eclipse version which you are using.
    Hope this helps.
