Eclipse Mars Tomcat 8 server disappeared

Question

I'm trying to define a Tomcat 8.5.16 server but everytime I use the 7 I get an error and when I go into preference to use the newer server it tells me the v8 installation is expecting an 8 server although I am pointing it to my tomcat 8. Please help.

I click OK and get "The Apache Tomcat installation at this directory is version 8.5.16. A Tomcat 8.0 installation is expected." This is under windows->preferences-> Adding a server.

Answer 1

I think Tomcat 8.5.16 cannot be added as Tomcat 8.0.

You may have to upgrade your eclipse or apply a patch, for example,
