Eclipse 3.1 + JBossIDE M2 Update + TrailBlazer

[bob_manteck]

Is there anyone who succeeded in following the JBossIDE TrailBlazer with Eclipse 3.1 after copying files from the zip package to update JBossIDE to 1.5 M2 version?

Problems come in particular in code completion after the "@". It doesn't show me the TAGS to generate code for the first Entity!

I'm on Linux Suse 6.2 and using a JBoss 4.0.3 RC1 release.

Thanks.

Ooops. Found the right message on this forum for the same problem...

Sorry! ;-)

I have the same problem. Could not find the post you were referring to. Please direct me to the solution you found.

Thanks

It's because a lib isn't included in the Eclipse "Java Build Path" of the project (I test with Eclipse WTP 0.7 + JBoss 4.0.3RC2 + M2 plugin) : add ejb2-persistance.jar from server/default/deploy/ejb3.deployer to your build path.
The other libs required are :
- JBoss EJB3 Libraries
- J2EE 1.4 Libraries (JBoss-IDE)

That will maje Eclipse recognize @Entity and the like annonations with auto-completion.

Another trick I add to do is specify explicitely in the build path the libs from MyFace.org and from Jakarta TagLibs 1.1
I hope this will help you

I had the same problem with auto completion of ejb3 spec. I followed all the instruction of the trailblazer. No completion happened. Then I saw this and followed and code completion happened:

Eclipse 3.x

1. Right click on the top toolbar.
2. Select Customize Perspective.
3. Select Commands.
4. Check Default Server in the Available Command Groups pane.
5. Click OK.


Addtitionally while installing the jboss server before, I named the configuration "all2 and not defualt as suggested. With that I realized that no libs were missing anymore in eclipse when setting up a new ejb3 project. No red cross displayed at the project folder. Hope this helps

import the following jars to the building path of an ejb3 project, in order to be able
to construct session and messagge beans with code completion:

add external archives:
located in:
\server\all\deploy\ejb3.deployer:
named:
ejb3-persistance.jar
jboss-ejbr.jar
jboss-ejb3x.jar

add libraries:
J2EE 1.4 Libraries (JBOSS-IDE)
