Guys may be I'm missing my basics.................
Any help ............?????

Eclipse is the platform. You have to install J2EE, I guess JST, WST etc... I don't remeber names of all those plugins and features :-D The most easy way, go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/pac...pers/indigosr1 and download Eclipse (for J2EE developers).

When it is installed, go to Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Enviroment

Add your server architecture (tomcat7) and the tomcat home direcotry (NOT '/xxxx/xxxx/tomcat/bin', but '/xxxx/xxxx/tomcat').

Add a new project, check Web -> Dynamic Web Project

When project is created, choose in context menu (right mouse button): Run as -> Run on server
Select your tomcat server and run it
if it works, it open Eclipse internal browser

by default, it runs on http://localhost:8080/myProjectCaseSensitiveName/
