I am trying to create my first project in Intellij idea 12 with Tomcat 8.0.0-RC5, OS Maverics, I use this tutorial: http://wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Creating_a_simple_Web_application_for_Tomcat_in_IntelliJ_IDEA_12
but when I do all the steps, I get the error:
Error starting Tomcat 7.0: cannot find the configuration of the built-in jsp servlet in / Users / ------- / Library / Caches / IntelliJIdea12 / tomcat / Unnamed_Simple_2 / web.xml.
The problem is solved, Intellij does not support tomcat 8
IntelliJ 12.1.5 ( 12.1.6), . Tomcat web.xml conf, IntelliJ , .
If you are still trying to use tomcat 8, try the EAP version, I have a great idea with tomcat 8 http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IDEA+13+EAP
