[news.eclipse.newcomer] Configuring dynamic web project on existing svn

[Markus Fischer <markus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm playing around with a project ( Solr from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/ ) and my goal is to
be able to work with the web interface from within Eclipse. I've
experience configuring/installing Solr on tomcat from within the console
 (Linux)

I'm using Eclipse Galileo on Ubuntu and WTP etc. is installed. I can
create a new Dynamic Web Project and work with Servlets.

After checking out the specific solr project, I configure the build path
so it picks up all necessary sources and libraries.

I've checked out the project as nature Dynamic Web Project, but I don't
know how/where to tell the tomcat installation what of the checkout to
consider part of the web application.

Whenever I try to start one of the servlets I get a 404 in tomcat. Under
 src/webapp/web/ is index.jsp. When I right click and choose "Run As" it
doesn't show me the "Run on server" option (I need to configure them,
but a tomcat configuration is present).

I guess I'm missing some small step here ... ?

thanks for any hints,
- Markus
