Sabi,
There are two steps here:

1) The most important thing to remeber w.r.t. to webapps is that you need to setup your eclipse JRE’s to actually point to your JDK, not the JRE. So how you do this is to open:
Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs-> Select your JRE and hit Edit -> Change the “JRE Home Directory” to your JDK directory (e.g. C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03) and hit Ok twice (to get back to Eclipse).

2) Where did you install Tomcat to? You need to download Tomcat (download here: http://apache.gnusoft.net/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.16/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16.exe) and install it. Lets say you install it to “C:\Tomcat 5.0”, once that is installed, start MyEclipse again, go to:
Window->Preferences->MyEclipse->Application Servers->Tomcat 5.0
and set the “Tomcat Home” to the value “C:\Tomcat 5.0”, the other values (like Temp) should fill in for you. You should now be ready to deploy web applications!

Hi ,

Sabi,
0) You need to download/install/reboot the JDK (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html)
1) You need to download Eclipse 2.1.2 (http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-2.1.2-200311030802/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-2.1.2-win32.zip)
2) You need to download MyEclipse 2.7RC2 (You already did this)
3) You need to download Tomcat 5.0.16 (http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-2.1.2-200311030802/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-2.1.2-win32.zip)
4) You need to unzip Eclipse somewhere (C:\Eclipse), and run it (double click on Eclipse.exe), then close it.
5) You need to run the Tomcat installer, and install it someplace (C:\Tomcat)
6) You need to run the MyEclipse installer, let it know where Eclipse is (C:\Eclipse) then install it to its own directory (C:\MyEclipse)
7) You now can run Eclipse and it will have MyEclipse installed
8) You can configure the application servers to use via Window->Preferences->MyEclipse->Application Servers->Tomcat 5->(set the home directory of Tomcat)
9) You need to modify your “Installed JREs” in Eclipse to point to your JDK installation and not your JRE installation. So click on Windows->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs->Edit and change the “JRE home directory” to point to your JDK installation directory (C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03)
10) Hit OK, restart eclipse just to be sure

Now you should be able to create/run/deploy web applications.
