Run on server option not appearing in Eclipse

Question

I m learning SpringMVC framework and checked out a copy of their code  https   src springframework org svn spring-samples mvc-basic trunk  I can do maven build  install and everything  But on Eclipse  run on server option never appeared  I have tomcat server up and running  also got plugin for eclipse  Why run on server option is missing  This is a Ubuntu machine  When I tried the exact same thing on my Windows machine  everything was fine  It has the same version of eclipse and all sorts of plugins installed as the Ubuntu machine  I was able to launch it from Eclipse  run on server  option there   Can someone help me to figure out why  Thanks

There is only 1 thing that fixed this for me. In the pom.xml, add the tag:

<packaging>war</packaging>

Then after saving that, when you right click on the project you should now see the "Run As... Run on Server" option showing up.

Do you see any servers in server view in eclipse  Probably simply you have not created any server instances

The topic is old but today I was facing the same problem  I imported a Maven project and when I tried to add it to Tomcat it did not show the project  What worked for me  Properties  gt  gt  Project Facets and then check the options  Dynamic Web Module   Java and JavaScript  optional  and then click in apply  I hope it will help someone

I had a similar issue  The Maven projects have different structure than  Dynamic Web Projects   Eclipse knows only how to deploy the Dynamic Web Projects  project structure used by Web Tools Platform    In order to solve this and tell Eclipse how to deploy a  maven style  projects  you have to install the M2E Eclipse WTP plugin  I suppose you are already using the m2e plugin    To install  Preferences- Maven- Discovery- Open Catalog and choose the WTP plugin   After reinstalling  you will be able to  run on server  those projects which are maven web projects   Hope that helps

Did you create a Web Project   If you right click on the project and go to Properties   Project Facets is Dynamic Web Module selected

Right click on the project  go to  Run as   select  Run configurations  and create a run configuration

User · Answer

For me worked  Right click on project   Properties   Project Faces   change Configuration from  custom  to  Default configuration for Apache Tomcat v7 0    OK and then Run on Server option has appeared

User · Answer

Perhaps you lost some configuration  check jar dependencies in properties -  Deployment Assembly  If you miss something  try to add dependencies again   in my case  fixing this  Run on Server appear again

User · Answer

I had to do the following   remove  WebContent from Deployment Assembly and add  src main webapp Add Library  Properties- Java Build Path- Libraries   Server Runtimes   This got me working  in addition to  alanbartczak answer
