Step 3: Click Next---> Fill in your project name, specify your path

Step 4:

Create a moduleMouse point in the project name demos, right-click New, select Module, tick "Web application", confirm that "Create Web. xml" is checked.

Step 5: Create the classes and Lib files (classes is used to hold the compiled output of the class file, Lib is used to hold the third-party jar package. ）

Step 6:

Step 7: Then select Dependencies, select the Module SDK as 1.7, click "+" on the right, select 1 "Jars or Directories", select the Lib folder you just created-&G t; select "Jar directory" and then return to the OK on the line ~ ~

The last thing I want to show is that idea is still smart, that is, when configuring Tomcat is a bit more troublesome than eclipse, he only has to publish the project on the default directly in the browser to give you access, do not manually enter the path, this is his more intelligent point.
