Application servers tab not enabled in Intellij ultimate edition

Question

So, after several years using Eclipse I finally decided to give IntelliJ a chance (ultimate edition). I added the tomcat server in the file->settings... option. The tomcat integration plugin is also enabled in the plugin list. Hitting Control + Shift + A and typing "Application Servers" will show me a "disabled" option. The same happens in the View menu. So, how can I enable the tab, deploy and manage my web apps? Thanks :)

Answer 1

For this tool window to be available, the Application Servers View plugin must be enabled and there must be at least one application server run/debug configuration in your project.

Complaint

I know this question is old, but I have the same problem. I do have the Application Server View plugin enabled and I have a run/debug config for a Spring tc server. Still no Application Server Tool window... Any other suggestions? – Marcum

same here. Application servers view enabled. And there is server configured in Build Execution Deployment -> Application Servers. Still View - Tool Windows -> Application Servers disabled. – Leslie

Make sure that 'JavaEE: EJB, JPA, Servlets' plugin is enabled in intelliJ's plugins(File > Settings > Plugins['Installed' tab])
