Happy to announce 4.5.3.AM2 (Developer Milestone 2) build for Eclipse Oxygen.3.

Downloads available at JBoss Tools 4.5.3 AM2.

What is New?

Full info is at this page. Some highlights are below.

OpenShift

CDK and Minishift Server Adapter better developer experience

When working with both CDK and upstream Minishift, it is recommanded to distinguish environments through the MINISHIFT_HOME variable. It was possible before to use this parameter but it requires a two steps process:

  • first create the server adapter (through the wizard)

  • then change the MINISHIFT_HOME in the server adapter editor

It is now possible to set this parameter from the server adapter wizard. So now, everything is correctly setup when you create the server adapter.

Let’s see an example with the CDK server adapter.

From the Servers view, select the new Server menu item and enter cdk in the filter:

cdk server adapter wizard

Select Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.2+

cdk server adapter wizard1

Click the Next button:

cdk server adapter wizard2

The MINISHIFT_HOME parameter can be set here and is defaulted.

Fuse Tooling

Display Fuse version corresponding to Camel version proposed

When you create a new project, you select the Camel version from a list. Now, the list of Camel versions includes the Fuse version to help you choose the version that corresponds to your production version.

Fuse Version also displayed in drop-down list close to Camel version

Update validation for similar IDs between a component and its definition

Starting with Camel 2.20, you can use similar IDs for the component name and its definition unless the specific property "registerEndpointIdsFromRoute" is provided. The validation process checks the Camel version and the value of the "registerEndpointIdsFromRoute" property.

For example:

<from id="timer" uri="timer:timerName"/>

Improved guidance in method selection for factory methods on Global Bean

When selecting factory method on a Global bean, a lot of possibilities were proposed in the user interface. The list of factory methods for a global bean is now limited to only those methods that match the constraints of the bean’s global definition type (bean or bean factory).

Customize EIP labels in the diagram

The Fuse Tooling preferences page for the Editor view includes a new "Preferred Labels" option.

Use this option to define the label of EIP components (except endpoints) shown in the Editor’s Design view.

General

Credentials Framework

Sunsetting jboss.org credentials

Download Runtimes and CDK Server Adapter used the credentials framework to manage credentials. However, the JBoss.org credentials cannot be used any more as the underlying service used by these components does not support these credentials.

The credentials framework still supports the JBoss.org credentials in case other services / components require or use this credentials domain.

Aerogear

Aerogear component deprecation

The Aerogear component has been marked deprecated as there is no more maintenance on the source code. It is still available in Red Hat Central and may be removed in the future.

Arquillian

Arquillian component removal

The Arquillian component has been removed from Red Hat Central as it has been deprecated a while ago.

BrowserSim

BrowserSim component deprecation

The BrowserSim component has been marked deprecated as there is no more maintenance on the source code. It is still available in Red Hat Central and may be removed in the future.

Freemarker

Freemarker component removal

The Freemarker component has been removed from Red Hat Central as it has been deprecated a while ago.

LiveReload

LiveReload component deprecation

The LiveReload component has been marked deprecated as there is no more maintenance on the source code. It is still available in Red Hat Central and may be removed in the future.

Enjoy!
