release jbosstools devstudio jbosscentral

We would like to announce Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 CR1 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3 CR1 is now available.

Installation

Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it and install it like this:

java -jar jboss-devstudio-{version}-installer-{standalone|eap}.jar

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

This release requires at least Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) but we recommend using the Eclipse Luna SR2 Java EE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled with Java EE Bundle and SR2 release includes some critical fixes.

Once you have installed or if you have JBoss Tools 4.2.x already installed, you can use our update site directly for JBoss Tools:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/luna/

And for JBoss Developer Studio Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse:

https://devstudio.redhat.com/updates/8.0-development/

Note: JBoss Tools 4.2.3 and JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 will become available in Marketplace only for Final releases at early April

What is New?

We are getting close to the final release. So, we focused on bug fixing in this release.

Upgraded Forge 2 Runtime

Besides bug fixes, the Forge 2 runtime was upgraded to 2.15.1.Final. See the release notes here.

There is also an improvement in Forge wizards which now render notes below the inputs (where available):

note

It’s worth mentioning that the Forge 2.15.1 release has an annoying bug which prevents addons creation. The upcoming JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0.Final will include the fixed Forge 2.15.2.Final (has been released today).

What is Next?

The next stop is JBoss Tools 4.2.3.Final and JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0.Final which are going to be released in two weeks.

Enjoy!

Just for you Kepler fans - an Eclipse Kepler update of your favorite Integration Stack tooling is now available.

What’s an Integration Stack?

JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.1.7.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 7.1.0.GA

The Integration Stack for JBoss Tools Developer Studio is a set of plugins for Eclipse that provides integration tooling for the following frameworks.

JBoss Business Process and Rules Development

  • 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.

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

JBoss Data Virtualization Development

  • 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.

  • 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.

JBoss Integration and SOA Development

  • All of the Business Process and Rules Development plugins, plus…​

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

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

SOA 5.x Development

  • JBoss ESB - An enterprise service bus for connecting enterprise applications and services.

  • jBPM3 - A flexible Business Process Management (BPM) Suite - JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 5.3.x compatible version.

All of these components have been verified to work with the same dependencies as JBoss Tools 4.1 and Developer Studio 7.

What’s Been Updated?
