JBoss AS 6.1 Server Adapter

[david_b]

Hi all,

I'm trying to start JBoss AS 6.1 snapshots from within Eclipse. I was hoping it would work with the 6.0 server adapter but unfortunately that's not the case.

I realise 6.1 isn't officially released yet but I'd like to develop a 6.1 server adapter myself in the meantime. I'm wondering where the 6.0 server definition is stored so that I can look at modifying it? I've looked in the eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.6.1.v200904151730\servers directory but there is no definition there for 6.0.

I started a thread on the issue in the JBoss AS section but thought this would be a more appropriate place to ask about developing a new adapter. The original thread is here if you want to see the issues I am running into: http://community.jboss.org/thread/167106

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm not an AS specialist but before someone more competent chimes in I'd suggest you take a look in the following plugins:

- http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/as/plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.ui/

- http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/as/plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core/

You might want to join the #jbosstools channel on irc.freenode.net and address your question to rawbdor or adietish.

Cheers,

Koen

Yes, Koen is correct about that being where to look for how the server adapters are defined.

But I don't think a new server adapter is needed - the version range check for AS 6 just needs to be opened up to allow 6.x instead of 6.0.x.

Your last error about NoClassDefFoundError is most likely caused by missing quotes.

Thanks Koen & Max, I'll have a look into it and see if I can get it working.

For anyone else reading this thread, Wolfgang Knauf has created a plugin for Eclipse Web Tools Platform which adds support for JBoss AS 6.1.

You can get it from his site here: http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~knauf/public/

Note, you can use JBoss Tools server adapters for AS 6.1.x by adding the missing argument to the server startup parameters.
