How to setup servlet and jsp project in VScode IDE with Apache Tomcat server?

I want to create a simple web application using servlet and jsp with the help of youtube tutorials in vscode. I need to install and apache tomcat for this purpose. So, I have downloaded tomcat extension in my vscode and connected it with its directory that has tomcat in it in my pc. Tomcat server is working fine on my browser and I am also able to login in manager app with my credentials.

But I am little confused here. I already have liveserver extension on my vscode than why I need to install tomcat? and Should I create my project using maven-archetype-webapp or maven-archetype-j2ee-simple or with any other type? Please help with these doubts. I love vscode ide so, please come with a solution in vscode only.

If Live Server can support your projects to run successfully, you don't need to install tomcat again.

maven-archetype-j2ee-simple is an archetype which generates a simplified sample J2EE application.

maven-archetype-webapp is an archetype which generates a sample Maven webapp project. Its folder structure is relatively simple when compared to maven-archetype-j2ee-simple. You can choose it depends on the complexity of the project you wanna develop.
