J it only takes a minute:
I cannot add my project to a server in eclipse - why is that?
I installed all necessary tools (Web Dev, Java EE, Server Adapters, Tomcat itself, everything)
I configured the runtime environments, adjusted all Java Versions to JDK 6 (because it should run on Tomcat 6) but still the left side of the dialogue where I could add recources is empty when creating a new server.
What else could I try?
PS: Using Juno on W7 Prof.

You didn't create your project as "Dynamic Web Project", so Eclipse doesn't recognize it like web project. Create new "Dynamic Web Project" or go to Properties -> Projects Facets and check Dynamic Web Module

Go to project properties -> Project Facets, make sure Dynamic Web Module & Java were checked.
Apart from it, "Cloud Foundry Standalone Application" needs to be un-checked, if it is already selected. By default, few IDE's pre-select this option.

If you are able to see the project in Eclipse project explorer but unable to see the project while adding the project to the web server, follow project properties -> Project Facets, make sure Dynamic Web Module & Java were ticked.
It was Eclipse mars which does not support jdk7 so I added jdk8. It worked.
