    Q : I have upgraded my JBossIDE version. Can I delete the plugins from the older version ?

    Q : I have created a new J2EE 1.4 Project following the instructions in the "Tutorial" document, but I cannot see "JSP Compilation Support, Packaging Configurations and XDoclet Configurations" in my project properties. Can you help me ?

     

    A : This is answered here under "XDoclet integration topics". In brief, check that you are in the java perspective (Window -> Open Perspective-> Java) and that you are right clicking on the project in the Package Explorer view..
