  1. Create a web project using Maven: 

    mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.trial -DartifactId=message 
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

  2. Convert the project to Eclipse web project using:

    mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

  3. Import existing project into Eclipse:

enter image description here

The project icon contains an folder instead of a web icon and folder icon. I find this a bit strange and when I try to run also, the run on server option is missing. I am sure I followed the steps correctly. Where may I be lagging to obtains such a result ?

I have the below's suggestions :

  1. First check whether your eclipse is in Jave EE Perspective or not. If it was in only Java perspective, run option will not come.

  2. Right click on your project, go to properties.

    Click on Project Facets

    Check whether Dynamic Web module is check marked or not. If not just check marked it.
