Hi All -

Have tried everything I know...Using Eclipse 3.5.2 and Tomcat v6.....Tomcat is even displaying on the menu bar for start/restart/stop server....However,
when I right click inside the Server window and do New -> Server -> only Basic and Glassfish display.....Any suggestions?, I greatly need the help as I
am in the process of preparing for the spring cert and am trying to build the sample springsource project using this platform and server....

Thanks,
Mirrell

Which Eclipse bundle did you download? The one labelled "Eclipse for Java EE Developers"? Tomcat should be under the "Apache" heading.

The only other idea I have is to download and install a new copy (in another location) and try that one to see of the Apache | Tomcat entries show up. My guess is that something got corrupted in your Eclipse installation.

By the way, did you at any point install updates? I ask because I have had bad experiences with Eclipse's update feature in the past.
