Unable to “Run on Server” a webapp from Eclipse

Question

When running my WebApp project from Eclipse most of times it run correctly. But if by mistake to stop server, I kill it in \"Console\" view on instead of \"Stop\" Server from \"

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue and cleaning and recreating server does not help. But when I deployed another project, it was able to start successfully. After much comparison, I found differences in the .project files. So I copy the contents of the .project file of the working project into the one that has problem, add it back to the server and it works. Following is the contents of the .project file that works. Note that you need to change the name of the project accordingly:
