JBoss Tools Integration Stack
Since JBoss Tools 4.3.0 we require Java 8 for the installation and use of all JBoss Tools, including the Integration Stack tooling. We still support developing and running applications using older Java runtimes. See more in Beta1 blog.

JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.3.2.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 9.0.2.GA

All of the Integratioon Stack components have been verified to work with the same dependencies as JBoss Tools 4.3 and Developer Studio 9.

What’s new for this release?

The highlight of this release is full Fuse tooling and SwitchYard support for Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.3 on Eclipse Mars. Included in the Fuse Tooling enhancements is a new Fuse Integration Project wizard, an updated Visual Camel Editor and improvements to the validation of Camel files. See the Red Hat Developers Program blog for a view of the updated Fuse Tooling support in detail.

What’s an Integration Stack?

The Integration Stack for JBoss Developer Studio is a set of features and plugins for Eclipse that further enhances the IDE development functionality provided by JBoss Developer Studio. It’s where the Fuse Tooling, DataVirt Tooling and BRMS tooling is aggregated. The following frameworks are supported:

JBoss Fuse Development

  • Fuse Tooling - JBoss Fuse Development provides tooling for Red Hat JBoss Fuse. It features the latest versions of the Fuse Data Transformation tooling, SwitchYard and access to the Fuse SAP Tool Suite.

  • SwitchYard - A lightweight service delivery framework providing full lifecycle support for developing, deploying, and managing service-oriented applications.

JBoss Business Process and Rules Development

JBoss Business Process and Rules Development plug-ins provide design, debug and testing tooling for developing business processes for Red Hat JBoss BRMS and Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite.

  • BPEL Designer - Orchestrating your business processes.

  • BPMN2 Modeler - A graphical modeling tool which allows creation and editing of Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams using graphiti.

  • Drools - A Business Logic integration Platform which provides a unified and integrated platform for Rules, Workflow and Event Processing including KIE.

  • jBPM6 - A flexible Business Process Management (BPM) suite.

JBoss Data Virtualization Development

JBoss Data Virtualization Development plug-ins provide a graphical interface to manage various aspects of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization instances, including the ability to design virtual databases and interact with associated governance repositories.

  • Teiid Designer - A visual tool that enables rapid, model-driven definition, integration, management and testing of data services without programming using the Teiid runtime framework.

  • ModeShape - A distributed, hierarchical, transactional and consistent data store with support for queries, full-text search, events, versioning, references, and flexible and dynamic schemas. It is very fast, highly available, extremely scalable, and it is 100% open source.

ModeShape is deprecated.

JBoss Integration and SOA Development

JBoss Integration and SOA Development plug-ins provide tooling for developing, configuring and deploying BRMS, SwitchYard and Fuse applications to Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works, Red Hat JBoss Fuse and Fuse Fabric containers, Apache ServiceMix, and Apache Karaf instances.

  • Fuse Apache Camel Tooling - A graphical tool for integrating software components that works with Apache ServiceMix, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel and the FuseSource distributions.

We are happy to announce the release of Red Hat JBoss Fuse Tooling for Eclipse Mars. It is available now in the JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.3.2 / Developer Studio Integration Stack 9.0.2.

What’s in there?

Let me highlight the most important changes only. You can see a full list of changes in the What’s New section for the release.

New Fuse Integration Project wizard

One of our main objectives for this release was improving the usability and making the tooling easy to use. The project wizard was one of the things we wanted to improve. In the new version of the wizard you are now able to specify a runtime you want to develop for OR an Apache Camel version to be used from the list of supported versions.

Another improvement is the replacing of the archetype selection with a more user friendly list of project templates which are now more use case oriented. At the moment we have just a few templates available but we will add new templates in future. (see above screenshot)

Updated Visual Camel Editor

We are happy to show you the new Camel Editor :D

camel editor

We’ve got a new diagram layout and new icons together with a search field inside the palette which allows easy lookup of palette items without the need to browse any drawers. The new layout improves the readability of your route. Another change has been made to allow showing all routes of a Camel Context file inside one editor. For those of you who liked the "only one route" approach more we added a "Go Into" button on the route’s button pad.

You maybe also recognized a new tab in the editor from the above screenshot. We added the "Configurations" tab which can be used to handle elements which are not part of the route itself, like beans, global endpoint definitions and data formats. At the moment we have support for handling global endpoints and data formats. If you installed the SAP Tool Suite you can also add SAP Server definitions. More types will be added in future releases.

For more information on this tab please have a look here.

Other

There have been some improvements in the validation of Camel files. Please have a look here for more information.

We hope you enjoy the improvements and are looking forward to your feedback. Have fun!
