Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) + Tomcat7 — Cannot create a server using the selected type

Question

Setup:

• Eclipse 3.7 + the WEB tools from the indigo update site
• Tomcat7
• Ubuntu

Problem:

When I try to add a new Tomcat

Answer 1

I had two tomcat 7 runtime configurations added to my Server's Runtime configurations tab. Deleted the duplicate one and fixed the path to the only tomcat 7 which was installed in my system under C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0 and this solved my problem of adding a new server in the servers tab.

1. Go to Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments and update the server runtime environment path to change the broken path for the server by clicking Edit.
