Step 2: In “Work with:”, paste: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon/

Step 4: Finally, click “Next” > Accept the terms of the license agreement and click “Finish” to install the new software. Then a popup would ask your permission to restart the Eclipse. Restart it and you should find the dynamic web project option under project list.
