Eclipse - cannot create tomcat server

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I had a working configuration with eclipse (Juno) and tomcat 6. Then, I 
wanted to switch to tomcat 7 and modified my configuration. Now, I have 
no working tomcat server within eclipse.

There are two tomcat installations under /opt:

drwxr-xr-x  9 root       root  4096 Oct  2 05:45 apache-tomcat-6.0.29
drwxr-xr-x  9 root       root  4096 Oct  2 05:43 apache-tomcat-7.0.30

I always used the tomcat 6 installation without problems.

Within eclipse, I am able to define a runtime configuration for both 
tomcat installations:

	Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Configurations

For example, I can define a new runtime configuration like this:

	Name:		"Apache Tomcat v6.0"
	Directory:	/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.29

(Same vor tomcat 7).

So far, so good. But when I try to define a server, I run into problems:

	File -> New -> Other -> Server -> Server

I can choose the server type, e. g.:

	Tomcat v6.0 Server or
	Tomcat v7.0 Server

The server's host name is preset to "localhost".
The server's name is empty and I cannot edit it (disabled).

The "Next" and "Finish" buttons are disabled.

So I cannot define a new tomcat server.

Remember: I had a working configuration, where I could run my dynamic 
web projects with "Run -> Run on Server", and the only thing I did was 
to remove the tomcat 6 server.

What is the problem here?

I would be glad if some experts could help me.

Thank you a lot!
Laura
