JBoss 5.0.0.GA fails to work with Eclipse 3.4

tbsalling Jan 15, 2009 1:37 AM

I just downloaded and installed JBoss 5.0.0 GA, Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), and JBoss tools for Eclipse.

From Eclipse I cannot create a new JBoss server instance because the jboss5.serverdef in JBoss Tools seems to be broken or outdated.

Where can I acquire the latest jboss5.serverdef that works with 5.0.0GA?

Thanks,
/Thomas.

I guess, it's because of the changes to the location of the libraries that have been moved to a common/lib folder. Maybe you can try what this guy did http://www.coderanch.com/t/424328/JBoss/JBoss-GA-Eclipse

Hi Thomas,

according to the eclipse bugreport at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=257823, this was included in the WTP 3.0.4 branch yeasterday.
So you might try to build an eclipse 3.4 with a WTP 3.0.4 comitters build from http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/

Best regards

Wolfgang

Thank you for both replies.

I followed Wolfgang's proposal, and copied the file https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=120132 into eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.5.205.v200805140145/servers/jboss5.serverdef.

That solved the case.

Best regards,

I'm using JBoss Tools which is based on the WTP plugin. WTP provides a generic JBossAS adapter - JBossTools is dedicated to JBoss and provides a lot of good and stable features.
