Tomcat in Intellij Idea Community Edition

by

Intellij Community does not offer Java application server integration. Your alternatives are

  1. buying Intellij licence,
  2. switching to Eclipse 😉
  3. installing Smart Tomcat plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9492, make following settings (image)
  4. installing IDEA Jetty Runner plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7505
  5. running the application server from Maven, Gradle, whatever, as outlined in the other answers.

I personally installed the Jetty Runner plugin (Jetty is fine for me, I do not need Tomcat) and I am satisfied with this solution. I had to deal with IntelliJ idea – Jetty, report an exception, though.
