Why can't I run eclipse spring roo project in sts

[z080236]

I right clicked project -> Run as -> But can't find the tomcat option

has followed steps up to 2.1.10 in http://static.springsource.org/sprin...beginning.html successfully

I have to go command prompt to cd the directory then type maven tomcat:run

Hey!

Did you create the project as a Spring Roo project in STS directly? Or from the command line?
If you created the project as a Spring Roo project in STS directly, you should be able to drag&drop the project onto a configured Tomcat or tc Server and have it deployed that way.

created a project as spring roo project in STS and would like to run in STS
if not any changes I made I will have to drag and drop into Tomcat server to see whether it works

Hey!

Does it work for you to drag&drop that project into the Tomcat server in your "Servers" view inside STS/Eclipse?
If not, can you try to create a project from the Spring Template projects (the MVC one, for example) and drag&drop that into the tc Server that should be configured automatically in your STS and showing up in the Servers view as well?

when i run tomcat server does it run all the projects in eclipse? I open servers tomcat 7 and can't find my project inside, how do I add the spring roo project and run using that tomcat?


I tried to drag but doesn't work

how do you drag and drop the project on tomcat

Hey!

Do you have the Tomcat instance configured in your STS/Eclipse so that it appears in your Servers view? Or did you try to drag&drop your project into the configured tc Server instance? (that one should appear automatically in your Servers view when you are using an STS distribution to work from)

Hey!

I am a bit confused about how exactly you setup your project. Can you give me detailed steps how to reproduce this problem that you have?
