How to run/debug spring-social-showcase?

[rafiq]

I have been working with spring-social-showcase project for 3 months. I always run the project in command prompt using mvn tomcat:run. I've imported the project into sts 2.7.1. I can not run/debug the project (spring-social-showcase) in sts because sts does not show the option Project > Run as > Run on server. Is it possible to run/debug the project through sts?

I can run/debug any other project in sts.

Please help me.

I almost never run it with 'mvn tomcat:run'. I always run it in STS. I just drag it down to the tcServer instance in the "Servers" tab and start up that tcServer instance. (That said, I'll admit that getting that tcServer instance setup can be tricky sometimes.)

Thanks for your replay. As I'd imported the project from import->General->Existing project into Workspace, hence I'd not find the "Run on Server" option. When I imported the project from import->Maven->Existing Maven Projects, then there's the "Run on Server" option.

Thanks Again
