JBoss Developer Studio 8.0.2

This is an updatesite-only update. If you have JBoss Tools 4.2.x or JBoss Developer Studio 8.0.x already installed, just run:

JBoss Tools 4.2.2 and JBoss Developer Studio Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE)

JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) require at least Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) but we recommend using the Eclipse Luna SR1a Java EE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled. Once you have installed Eclipse, you can find us on Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools (Luna)" or "JBoss Developer Studio (Luna)".

For JBoss Tools you can also use our update site directly if you are up for it.

What is new ?

This is a JBoss Developer Studio/JBoss Tools maintenance update for Eclipse Luna with critical security and performance bug fixes.

Eclipse Luna SR1a Git Security Release

JBoss Developer Studio 8.0.2 includes Eclipse Luna SR1a Git Security Release which has a fix for a serious security vulnerability in JGit client. You can read more here.

JBoss Central Software page performance fixes

JBoss Central software page had a performance regression that caused the page to take several pages to load where it should only be a few miliseconds. That is fixed.

And we fixed it so Early Access features (like integration stack) can now contribute wizards to central when users have enabled Early access.

Updated Forge 2 Runtime

The included Forge 2 runtime is now 2.13.0.Final. See the release notes here.

What is Next

We are working on the next update witch will be based on Eclipse Luna SR2 and the first milestone (Alpha) for Eclipse Mars is coming soon.

Enjoy!

The Integration Stack for JBoss Tools Developer Studio is a set of plugins for Eclipse that provides 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 4.2 and Developer Studio 8.
