Hi readers,
Today I'm going to show you how to deploy simple java web application in amazon ec2 using Eclipse IDE.
Before we begin we need some required things,

• Eclipse Java EE IDE - You can download in http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (Im using Indigo version)
• Amazon Ec2 account - http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ (Free account is enough)
• Some basic understanding about java web application

k, lets start, here we go....

Step 1

• First you have to install the AWS toolkit for eclipse plugin. Simply go to Help--> Eclipse Market Place --> Search Amazon
• You will get the AWS toolkit for eclipse .
• Click Install
• It will show the corresponding packages and after agree the license will install it. Just a simple procedure.

Step 2

• Windows --> Preferences --> select AWS Toolkit and Fill the fields according to your amazon ec2 account 
• Give your name to Account Name (Not Necessary), but give exact value to Access Key ID and Secret Access Key according to your amazon acc.
• In the optional configuration (Expand it) give account id (exact value) to that field.

Step 3
