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

[jaxox]

I have the same issue:
I created a fresh roo project directly from spring - STS and then drag the project to the server, it doesn't let me!

Hey!

In case you created a brand-new Spring Roo project, you maybe chose "JAR" as the package type (which is not deployable to a tc Server). You can choose "WAR" as the package type (or create a real web app using the Roo commands, then the package type will be switched over to a war type automatically).

HTH,
Martin
