How do you connect Eclipse to a Tomcat server?

To connect the Tomcat server in Eclipse, you can follow these steps:

  1. In Eclipse, click on the “Window” option in the top menu bar, choose “Show View”, and then select “Server” to open the “Server” window.
  2. In the “Server” window, click on the “New Server” button at the top of the window to open the “New Server” dialog box.
  3. In the “New Server” dialog box, select the Tomcat server version that suits you and click “Next”.
  4. Choose the installation path of your Tomcat server in the “Apache” folder, and then click on “Finish”.
  5. In the “Server” window, you should see the newly created Tomcat server instance. Right-click on the instance and choose “Start” to launch the server.
  6. Once the server has successfully started, you can right-click on the instance and select “Properties” to configure further settings such as runtime environment and deployment path.
  7. Now, your Eclipse has successfully connected to the Tomcat server. You can create and debug web applications in Eclipse, and deploy them to the Tomcat server.

I hope the above steps are helpful to you!
