So I am new to working with web and server related projects and I am trying to create a new Dynamic Web Project on the Eclipse IDE.

After clicking finish on the "new dynamic web project" window, a new project is created (though it is missing most folders) and the window remains open. If I hit Finish again, I am prompted with this error: "Cannot install project facet Java 10. Some version of this project is already installed."

If I simply close the window, after the project is created, it lacks files I am seeing in examples online, and I cannot create a new servlet for it.

The following query: "Cannot install project facet" error while creating a project? Is not really helpful as it relates to creating a project from existing code and that seemed to be the source of the issue.

I already tried using different project names, and web module version but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated

As mentioned in the comments the problem was indeed with the version.

Updating to the latest version of Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers fixed the issue.
