Eclipse 3.3 with JBoss IDE

[sidkennedy]

I'm using Eclipse 3.3 and JBoss AS 4.0.4.GA. To debug a J2EE-project I need to integrate JBoss within Eclipse. So I thought in installing the JBoss IDE 1.6.0GA. So I installed the JBoss Eclipse IDE with the Update Manager via http://download.jboss.org/jbosside/updates/stable. As I restarted Eclipse I wanted to make some settings to let the JBoss-Eclipse-IDE know where my JBoss-server is placed in my file system. But it wasn't successful. The first thing is that as I selected the submenu "Deployer" of "JBoss-IDE" in the preferences an error occurred: "The currently displayed page contained invalid values". The submenu "Launcher" doesn't throws an error but I can't select a default server because the drop down list is empty. So how can I reach that I can debug my projects with Eclipse and the JBoss-AS. Do I have to use the development-version of the JBoss-IDE? If yes, is there an URL for the Update Manager of Eclipse or do I have do download it on my own? I can't imagine that I'm the first one having this problem ;)

thanks in advance
Sid

You're not the first, maybe the thousand-and-first :-)

Read:

specifically

"PLEASE NOTE: If you are using Eclipse 3.2 and up, you CANNOT install JBoss IDE 1.6 or below. It will NOT work!"

Might also want to peruse this, too (talks about the future of JBoss IDE /JBoss Tools)
