quick start guide?

[crimsondr]

does anyone have some advice on how to start using eclipse with a web app?

i tried to follow the instructions for WTP but i can never find the j2ee web project. so my project is never allowed to be deployed to a server.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Can you reply with more info (platform, app server, etc.)? When you select File->New->Project, you should find web project listed under j2ee.

hi,

i am running on windows with the latest Tomcat, jdk 1.5, eclipse 3.1rc2, and wtp 1.0m4.

when i go to file->new->project there is no j2ee option.

Here are some things you can try:

1. Try going to file->new->other..
2. Replace current install with the latest non-beta release (3.02?)
3. Downgrade your jdk to 1.4
4. Check your classpaths
5. If the above fail, get myeclipse plugin ($25?).
