IntelliJ and Tomcat.. Howto..?

Question

Using Netbeans, I develop sites with Tomcat as the local server to manage it. In Netbeans it was \"Install, write hit Run and it works\" How do I pull the same thing off in

Answer 1

Which version of IntelliJ are you using? Note that since last year, IntelliJ exists in two versions:

• Ultimate Edition, which is the complete IDE
• Community Edition, which is free but does not support JavaEE developments.

(see differences here)

In case you are using the Community Edition, you will not be able to manage a Tomcat installation.

In case you are using the Ultimate Edition, you can have a look at:

• The FAQ for Netbeans users (see question How do I configure a web framework for my project?).
• IntelliJ Ultimate edition "Help": Run/Debug Configuration: Tomcat Server
