Question

Answer 1

If you are getting "Tomcat version 7.0 only supports J2EE 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and Java EE 5 and 6 Web modules" error when trying to add project to Tomcat 7. Simply,

Right click on the project --> go to project facets --> uncheck the dymanic web module (which should be 3.1)--> apply --> then change the dynamic web module to 3.0 --> apply and then save.

Try to add now and it should work.
