Galileo & JBoss Tools

[blewinski]

Hello -

I am trying to get JBoss Tools (JBossTools-3.1.0.M4) installed on eclipse Galileo (3.5.1.R35) It is the 64 bit cocoa version. Everything seems to install correctly however when I go through the process of setting up a HelloWorld JSR Portlet example (one of the tutorials on the JBoss Tools site) the code is not being generated. Everything seems to work correctly; the xml files are built and the project structure looks correct. The only problem is that the Java code is not generated. If anyone has any pointers on where I can look, what I can try or how I can fix it I appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
Brett

JBoss Tools 3.1.0.M4 does not include a version of XulRunner for 64-bit Mac.

However, the latest nightly builds from trunk DO contain a Cocoa XulRunner... but only for 32-bit.

Or for offline install, try this update site zip:

If you want to use the above, you'll need a 32-bit JVM. AFAIK there should be an Apple Java 5.0 32-bit for Snow Leopard (64-bit Cocoa) out there somewhere.

If you find it, please post a link to it here (with a statement of your success using JBT w/ 32-bit Cocoa XulRunner).

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! So what you are saying is I should use the 32 bit version of eclipse with the JBoss Tools nightly build loaded. I will also need to get Apple Java 5.0 32-bit...

Thanks Again!

If you can use Carbon, then there's a XulRunner Carbon 32-bit (for OSX 10.4+) available in M4, and the forthcoming RC1 (should be this week).

If you need Cocoa (32-bit only), then yes, you'll need the latest JBT 3.1 nightly.

In either case, you need to match Eclipse 32 with Java 32, or it won't run.

(You could also use something to virtualize Windows or Linux on your Mac and then run the win32 or linux.gtk (x86 or x86_64) versions... but I digress. :)

I believe you faced https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-5402 "Create new Portlet wizard - portlet source not generated"
