Can not create a seam project with eclipse

[aliaslan]

Hi,

I am new to Jboss and Seam.

I have tried to create a new seam project following a tutorial but failed :(

(Tutorial: http://javathreads.de/2008/09/tutorial-mit-jboss-seam-und-jee5-unter-eclipse-starten/#EclipseSeamProjektSeamWebProjekt)

I can only choose the Jboss 5 Runtime of the "JBoss Community" but I need the Jboss 5 Runtime of the "JBoss, a division of Red Hat". But this option is not provided.


Some informations about my machine:
64 bit Windows machine
jdk1.6.0_13
jboss501GA
jbossseam211GA

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

The "JBoss, a division of Red Hat" is a selection that is added when you update Eclipse with JBoss Tools: http://www.jboss.org/tools

That is my problem,

I have added the following update site to eclipse:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/

but I still do not have the "JBoss a division of Red Hat" server configuration:(

I am using eclipse version 3.4.2 64 bit.

But I have also tried eclipse ee and eclipse report for 32 bit.

By "eclipse ee" do you mean "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers"? That is what you need to start with and update it with JBoss Tolls using the URL you mentioned.

Ah, I see the problem now. Over the weekend I re-downloaded Eclipse for Java EE 3.4.2 and installed the final version of JBoss Tools 3.0 and it appears that they have renamed the "JBoss a division of Red Hat" selection to "JBoss Community" which lets you select that various community version of JBoss AS. There is now also a "JBoss Enterprise Middleware" selection that enables you to select JBoss EAP 4.3.

O.K.,
but what is the difference between
1) JBoss a division of Red Hat
2) JBoss Community

and for what do I need a JBoss Enterprise Middleware "JBoss EAP 4.3"

I was quite happy with "JBoss, a division of red hat". Are there any differences?

[peterj]

There is no difference. The renaming was merely a mechanism to separate the supported app servers (EAP) from the community versions. From what I recall, EAP 4.3 was not one of the selections available under "JBoss a division of Red Hat" (no, I am not going to reinstall and older version of Eclipse and JBoss Tools to verify this), and every selection under "JBoss Community" should be what was once under "JBoss a division of Red Hat".
