Starting a new web project

[Ankit Doshi]

Hi,

I have installed Eclipse and lomboz and trying to start a new project, but in the wizard, the target servers list comes blank always and hence I am not able to start a new project at all...

Can someone please help answer the following:
1. Is lomboz NOT sufficient to start a web project? Do we need any other logins?
2. How do you register tomcat (or any other server) with eclipse?
3. What are the steps to be followed to import any new plugin in eclipse?


Thanks,
Ankit

Lomboz Tutorials.

I went through the tutorial:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/ServletScenario/ServletScenario.html

I went through all the steps of "Workspace Configuration" section in the above tutorial. Still, when I try to start a new Dynamic web project (as in step 1 of the "Dynamic Web Project Creation" section), the target server list comes as blank only.

Hence I'm still not able to create a web project.

Any comments?

I am not able to create a new web project (at all) since almost 10 days now!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated ...

I have installed Eclipse 3.1.2 and have installed the lomboz-emf-gef-jem-3.1RC2 over it.

Initially I had downloaded and tried various eclipse and lomboz versions, but none of them were working ... meaning with none of the other combinations, I was getting the j2ee options ... only with the above combination (eclipse3.1.2 + lomboz-emg-gef-jem-3.1RC2) I am able to see the j2ee option. And with this, I am having the problem with the Target server list in the new web project creation wizard (as in the below post).

Am I the only facing this strange problem with eclipse?

Would anyone care to comment which eclipse/lomboz (version) combination works properly??

The documentation is quite clear. If you read it it will tell you what to do.

I never said "Documentation is NOT clear".

The problem is that, even after following the steps as it is, I am still getting the Target Servers List as blank. Looks like this problem is not a well known problem, so a lot of people might not have seen this, but it exists for me.

I've configured the server properly, I can see it in the server list (under Windows > Preferences), but Target servers list in the new project wizard always remains blank. I have tried following the steps multiple times and have also tried a lot of other stuff (whatever possibility comes to my mind) for getting this straight, but to no success.

Finally it worked for me. I upgraded to Lomboz3.1.2 and it worked.

I have had a real bad experience, trying to get the lomboz 3.1RC2 working with eclipse, hence I thought of sharing this. I was able to recreate the exact same problem on multiple machines, so this doesn't seem like an uncommon problem.
