Deploying spring project in tomcat

Question

I created a sample Maven MVC project using my Spring tool suite but unable to deploy to tomcat.

The problem is when I right click the project and click "Run as" I don't see the "Run on server" option..

I tried changing the project to Dynamic web module after selecting the properties-project facets

but get the error, "Dyanmic web module 3.0 requires Java 1.6 or more"

How do I enable my project to run in Tomcat?

Have your Maven project compile for Java 1.6. Add this to your pom.xml :

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.6</source>
                <target>1.6</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
