If you are using eclipse 3.5 then goto window menu-> Preferences ->Server (on left side) -> Runtime Environment then click Add button then select the web server, which ever you want and click next -> browse the location of server.
Now,
Create Dynamic Web Project ,build it, right click on your project in Project Explorer, click Export->WAR file and browse the location where you want to create WAR file.

i found the war under export->web/war
i have choosen that, but when i want to select a project from the drop down, it dosent appear there - any idea why?

The project which you have created may not be 'Dynamic Web Project'. Create new project as File->New->Other..->Web->Dynamic Web Project, then copy the code in that,build it and then Export to war file.
