Installing Tomcat 6.0 in Eclipse.

Apache Tomcat (or Jakarta Tomcat or simply Tomcat) is an open source servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run.
Tomcat should not be confused with the Apache web server, which is a C implementation of an HTTP web server; these two web servers are not bundled together. Apache Tomcat includes tools for configuration and management, but can also be configured by editing XML configuration files.

Here is a downloadable link for Tomcat 6.0.32 Version:

after downloading tomcat you have to install your server to your eclipse.

Steps to install tomcat in Eclipse:

Step 1:
In Eclipse Go to Windows Tab>ShowView>Servers
Step 2:
After opening Servers view> right click in servers view> choose new> Server
Step 3:
Select Apache> Tomcat v6.0 Server>Press Next>
Step 4:
Then browse Tomcat installation directory(place where you downloaded your tomcat server )
Step 5:
Press Finish

yeah! your server is now installed in Eclipse. Now you are able to create and run web application :)
