  • Have you look at [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52004876/apache-tomcat-server-not-in-list-to-add-new)? It looks like it's the same problem. – Turian Sep 28 '18 at 09:20

There is no Apache Tomcat in Spring Tool Suite 4 you have to install a plugin like Eclipse JST Server Adapters (Apache Tomcat, JOnAS, J2EE) from the Marketplace.

Yes, it does. You may need to download Tomcat 8 server runtime separately. Once you have the runtime, create Tomcat 8 Runtime Environment in STS/Eclipse via Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments and then when creating server instance via the Server view select the Tomcat 8 runtime environment.

    Sorry, I am using STS 4 the latest version and I do not find any Tomcat server in the Runtime Environments section. It does not even have an Apache folder. – Dev M Sep 25 '18 at 23:41
