Announcement - JBoss Tools reaches end of life

posted by Stéphane Bouchet on Aug 01, 2025.

release jbosstools jbosscentral

Hello to our dear JBoss community and users.

We, the developers and our management team, have made the decision to no longer support Eclipe IDE for our tooling offering.

Why this decision?

The active development of the suite has been supported by a dedicated team, but over time, available resources have dwindled. Our focus is to provide great tools to the developers, but with limited resources, we decided to focus on others IDEs, VScode and Intellij IDEA. That being said, our source code respositories are still open and available on GitHub.

What does this mean for users?

For current users, there are no immediate changes. The last stable version of JBossTools (4.29.1.Final) will remain available for use as all other older versions. However, no new features nor major updates will be developed.

It has been a great ride and we wish you all the best.

Thanks for everything and goodbye.

The JBoss Team

General

Hibernate Runtime Provider Updates

Multiple additions and updates have been performed on the available Hibernate runtime providers.

New Runtime Providers

A new Hibernate 6.5 runtime provider incorporates Hibernate Core version 6.5.2.Final, Hibernate Ant version 6.5.2.Final and Hibernate Tools version 6.5.2.Final.

A new Hibernate 6.6 runtime provider incorporates Hibernate Core version 6.6.0.Alpha1, Hibernate Ant version 6.6.0.Alpha1 and Hibernate Tools version 6.6.0.Alpha1.

Server Tools

New Server view based on RSP available in the update site

In JBoss Tools, a fresh perspective has been introduced, known as the "RSP Servers View," which utilizes the Runtime Server Protocol (RSP). More information on this page.

However, this feature was not available on the JBossTools update site. This has been resolved and now the feature appears as "Runtime Server Protocol Server Tooling by Red Hat", under the "JBoss Application Server Adapters" category.

And more…​
