Widfly 9 Connector for Jboss Developer Studio 8

[tiago.matias]

Hello,

I'm unable to connect JBoss Studio 8.1.0 (latest version) to Widlfly 9. The connector is missing from the list and I can't seem to find a way to install it using the Jboss Central window...

Can someone point me into the right direction?

Surely the latest version of the IDE works with the latest version of the Application server, right?

For now I downgraded to Wilfly 8, which forced me to upgrade its logging jar, since we're using Hibernate 5 which depends on logging framework 3.3.0 (for reasons that I can't possibly understand, a data access framework has dependency clashes with the container..... )

Thanks for any help

Hi,

WildFly 9 adapter was added to JBoss Developer Studio 9. There is currently JBDS 9.0.0CR1 available and we going to release 9.GA next week or so.

Hello,

you can add WildFly 8.x Runtime and set Home Directory to WildFly 9 install path. This work fine.

regards.

Correct, you will get a warning about WildFly 8 adapter can't guarantee to work with WildFly 9 but yes, it should work just fine.

Still, I recommend using latest version of the Eclipse tooling if you are using the latest version of WildFly since if you do find issues it is in the latest Eclipse tooling we will fix issues.

By the way, any predictions on the release of the integration tools for Studio 9.0 ?

Thanks!

go look in Central - some of it are available today as early access (or will be soon)

JBDS 9 so far just seems like a disappointment; i am running it in a fedora install and nothing works, cannot install soa development tools via central, neither via install new software, there are processes that do not finish, i have just started it again and again to no avail, it just won't start the jboss central

I even have deleted and installed again but still the same thing

I ended going back to 8.1 instead of keeping wasting my time with this

If Central won't start, you're either:

a) not online (its catalogue requires the internet) or

b) not using Java 8 (Java 6 or 7 won't work)

But it's true -- not all the Integration Stack tools are available yet for JBDS 9.

If you get an actual error message in your console log / Error Log view, please post it. That's way more helpful for us to help you than simply announcing that "nothing works."

Did you install JBDS 9 via the installer, the update site zip, or the Eclipse Marketplace?

Also version of Fedora could be of some use for us. You may be experiencing this bug: [JBIDE-21038] Software/Update page is not working on Fedora 23 (Beta) - JBoss Issue Tracker

If so, simple workaround is to disable GTK3 -> in terminal type `export SWT_GTK3=0` and start JBDS from that terminal.

Jose,

sorry to hear you having issues. Would really appreciate if you open bugs on the issues you have.

Do try the export SWT_GTK3=0 "trick", unfortunately GTK3 caused a lot of issues with many rapid changes :/

i.e. central should *of course* also work offline - it was written to survive without internet. It won't be able to fetch all content but it should most definitly start  and if it does not we definitely need to fix that.

About integration tools then some are available in early access -  please let them know you miss them by also opening a jira; we keep telling them they should provide an update.
