Eclipse “Unknown version of Tomcat was specified” (Ubuntu)

I'm trying to add my Tomcat server to Eclipse but I get the message "Unknown version of Tomcat was specified." I've attached a screenshot to show what values I'm entering:



enter image description here



Notice that Finish button is disabled so I can't continue.The installation directory I've entered here is the same directory as CATALINA_HOME (in tomcat.service). To add the server to Ubuntu prior, I followed this tutorial:



https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-16-04



I can also confirm that when I start Tomcat, and open http://localhost:8080 in my browser that Tomcat is running and it's version is Apache Tomcat/8.5.35. So Tomcat is working OK it seems.



Anything I'm doing wrong in Eclipse?

  • Which version of Eclipse is this? Why does no one ever mention that?

I downloaded the tar file, unzipped it to my ~/Downloads directory. When I use this path, it doesn't give an error. I guess permissions as the /opt/tomcat directory is owned by tomcat user(?) Anyway, that seems to have got me pass that issue, I've yet to write an app and run it in Eclipse to test it all out.
