I never use "Run As -> Run on Server" in Eclipse. How do I hide it?

    download Eclipse source, remove it and recompile. it's worth the effort, without that menu Eclipse is much better. – abalogh Jun 16 '11 at 08:15
  • @abalogh there is a easier solution rather than to _download Eclipse source, remove it and recompile_ . So it's not worth the effort :) – mtk Jan 16 '15 at 13:22

Straight forward easy 2 sec solution:

  • Run it once with that option, and if it's not meant to run on a server, then you'll get a pop up like the below saying 'The selection did not contain any resources that can run on a server.' run-on-server-pop-up-eclipse
  • Click ok.
  • Now when you go to file --> right click, you'll not see that option anymore.

So the easiest solution to remove it is to run it with that option once.

I have also been frustrated with this and wanted to remove that option. I came looking for a viable/comfortable/doable answer, but couldn't find it. After months, i have found a easier solution for this. It's pretty straight forward as given above.

  • didn't work for me. It actually ran on the server and I didn't get any error. But I don't want it on the server. I'm using Tomcat so i want run as application. – John Henckel May 25 '17 at 20:52
  • actually this is what worked for me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1151995/is-there-a-shortcut-in-eclipse-to-re-run-the-most-recently-launched-program – John Henckel May 25 '17 at 21:01

Create your plug-in, then define your activities pattern to hide the context menus. Then export your plug-in into your eclipse, restart eclipse.

See this blog post how to find the id of context menu and use activities extension.

You need to remove server features and plugins. Cant find any setting/preference interface on eclipse? Right. Try this, it worked on my setup;

  • Go to .../Eclipse-xxx/features/, find the folders starting with org.eclipse.wst.server...
  • Create a new folder named "server-stuff" in in the folder "features"
  • Move org.eclipse.wst.server.... to "server-stuff" folder
  • Go to .../Eclipse-xxx/plugins/, find the jar files starting with org.eclipse.wst.server...
  • Create a new folder named "server-stuff" in the folder "plugins"
  • Move org.eclipse.wst.server... to "server-stuff"

Now restart eclipse. All the damn "server" features gone. If you encounter any unexpected result, just back-up with "server-stuff" folders.
