I'm trying to add a new server in Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments
And I select the option Apache Tomcat v8.0 , but the version of Apache Tomcat that I have is 8.5.11 so I get the following error: p>
The Apache Tomcat installation at this directory is version 8.5.11. A Tomcat 8.0 installation is expected.
Should I download an older version of Tomcat or is there any way to add Tomcat 8.5.11 to eclipse?
As far as I could see, it's a Tomcat problem. Try modifying the ServerInfo.properties file found in \ lib \ catalina.jar in the Tomcat installation folder and add the following lines:
server.info=Apache Tomcat/8.0.0
server.number=8.5.5.0
server.built=Aug 31 2016 19:51:16 UTC
Greetings:)
You have to use Eclipse JEE neon , since it includes support for TomCat up to its version 9.0 , so you can add the server without problems.
