JBoss Tools 4.23.0 for Eclipse 2022-03 is here waiting for you. Check it out!

We highly recommand to download or update to this latest version.

Note for Red Hat CodeReady Studio users

The Red Hat CodeReady Studio product has reached end of life. The last release for the product was 12.21.3.GA. So there is no equivalent version of Red Hat CodeReady Studio for this version of JBoss Tools. Existing users of Red Hat CodeReady Studio can upgrade to this version of JBoss Tools.

For more information, see this article

Installation

JBoss Tools or Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) CodeReady Studio require a bit more:

This release requires at least Eclipse 4.23 (2022-03) but we recommend using the latest Eclipse 4.23 2022-03 JEE Bundle

since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.

Java11 is now required to run JBoss Tools (this is a requirement from Eclipse 4.17). So make sure to select a Java11 JDK in the installer. You can still work with pre-Java11 JDK/JRE and projects in the tool.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools".

You can also use our update site directly.

Quarkus Tools

Qute templates support

Qute templates support has been added. This allows Quarkus developers to get enhanced editing experience to Qute templates located in their projects.

A Qute template is any file located under src/main/resources/templates and with the html, yaml, yml, json or txt extension.

Qute support is enabled on any project that has a dependency on the Qute library.

You can generate a Qute enabled project with the Quarkus project wizard and choosing the RESTEasy Classic Qute extension

Qute features

Features included into the Qute support are:

  • Integration between Java files and Qute templates files

  • Method parameter support in Qute template files

  • Java Type Hover Support for Qute Templates

  • Linked Editing Range Support in Qute Templates

  • Qute Section Completion

  • Support for Qute Validation

  • Completion for Qute Value Resolvers

  • Support for @TemplateExtension Methods

  • Support for Directly Injecting Beans into Qute Templates

Integration between Java files and Qute templates files

Any reference to a Qute template file from a Java file show the option to generate the Qute template file (if the Qute template file has not been found in the project) or navigate to the Qute template file.

Method parameter support in Qute template files

The Qute language server has support for built-in and user-defined Java classes, including parameter completion and validation for their methods. Take advantage of this to easily avoid Java related mistakes.

quarkus35

Java Type Hover Support for Qute Templates

When hovering over an expression in a Qute template, the Java type (built-in or user defined) will be displayed.

quarkus36

Linked Editing Range Support in Qute Templates

Similar to most language, linked editing is now supported for Qute templates , allowing for simultaneous renaming of multiple parameter expressions.

quarkus37

Qute Section Completion

Qute templates use sections in its templating language to power any logic required when compiling and displaying the resulting document. To support this, the extension’s Qute support populates a completion list with all available Qute sections, along with any parameters they take and a small code snippet of its usage.

quarkus38

Support for Qute Validation

Java and Qute validation is included for Qute templates with Quarkus Tools, including diagnostics and quick fix suggestions.

quarkus39

The developer has the ability to disable this validation in their settings through the WindowPreferencesJBoss ToolsQute.

quarkus40

The second table contains a list of Qute templates (as regular expressions) for which validation will be excluded.

If any of the available validation is disturbing your development, you can disable Qute validation for the file project with a single click, using a “Quick Fix” that appears on every Qute related diagnostic

quarkus41

Completion for Qute Value Resolvers

Paired with corresponding Java methods, built-in Java classes also have built-in Qute value resolvers made available by the Qute templating engine that is evaluated and outputs, or resolves to, a value. Quarkus Tools supports completion, hover and snippet generation for these built-in value resolvers.

quarkus42

Support for @TemplateExtension Methods

Template extension methods are used to extend the set of accessible properties of data objects. Qute support in Quarkus Tools has support for marked @TemplateExtension Java methods, which extend a given data model.

quarkus43

Support for Directly Injecting Beans into Qute Templates

A CDI bean annotated with @Named can be referenced in any template through cdi and/or inject namespaces. Quarkus Tools provides completion and definition navigation support for Beans.
