I want to add latest tomcat-7.0.42 in my eclipse. Probably eclipse tomcat server adapter 7 only supports tomcat version upto 7.0.12 ..
So please help me how can I configure my eclipse with tomcat-7.0.42
You are specifying tomcat source directory.
You need to specify tomcat binary installation root directory, also known as CATALINA_HOME.
Usually, this is where you untar apache-tomcat-7.0.42.tar.gz
file.
