Referring to this thread

To solve this on STS 4.x.x

  1. Click on Help.
  2. Go to Install New Software.
  3. Select the main Eclipse update site for 2019-09 ( if not added, you must click o add button and paste this URL:http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-09/ on both fields).
  4. search for m2e-wtp which will be in the last. There are four extensions showing up and you should install the ones you prefer.
  5. Restart your IDE

see https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues/96#issuecomment-484522744 on martinlippert comment..

I've added link of latest current version.

Hope this helps..

The Spring Tools 4.2.1 for Eclipse distribution didn't contain the necessary features and extensions to create dynamic web projects. This got added for later Spring Tools 4 versions. So the easiest solution would be to install a fresh distribution of the latest Spring Tools 4.3.2 for Eclipse and go from there.

As an alternative, you could also install the missing pieces into an existing Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse installation via Install New Software, then selecting the main Eclipse repository from the dropdown list, waiting for the list of features to appear, and selecting the features you are missing.
