Unknown version of Tomcat was specified 8.0.24 / Eclipse 4.4.2 (Luna)

A couple of months ago, I downloaded and unzipped the tomcat 8.0.24 which is running flawlessly. I did some tests creating servlets in notepad, compiled with javac.exe and placed in webapps. It worked.

My version of Eclipse is 4.4.2 known as Luna.

My version of JRE is 1.8.0_65 (x64)

When I want to set my Server in Eclipse, I see this warning and I don't know what to do.

Eclipse > Windows > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments > Add enter image description here

This required path is where you untarred the file when downloaded. Generally, the path in Ubuntu systems is:

/usr/share/tomcat7

Use Tomcat version 7
The problem is the variable JAVA_HOME, everything works for TOMCAT version 7 but not for version 8 and 9 which always returns me "Unknown version of Tomcat was specified"

In Ubuntu, point to the shared location; not the app location. Point to: /usr/share/tomcat8 and fix what they did not test:

 cd /var/lib/tomcat8
 ln -s conf /usr/share/tomcat8/conf

Tomcat Installation directory field is meant to be pointed at your Tomcat base directory.

So in your case just fill it with D:\ApacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.24 (without bin directory)
