Posts tagged with 'jbosstools'
JBoss Tools 4.5.3 and Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 11.3 for Eclipse Oxygen.3a are here waiting for you. Check it out!
Installation
JBoss Developer Studio comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it from our JBoss Products page and run it like this:
java -jar jboss-devstudio-<installername>.jar
JBoss Tools or Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) JBoss Developer Studio require a bit more:
This release requires at least Eclipse 4.7 (Oxygen) but we recommend using the latest Eclipse 4.7.3a Oxygen JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.
Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools" or "Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio".
For JBoss Tools, you can also use our update site directly.
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/oxygen/stable/updates/
What is new?
Our main focus for this release was on adoption of Java10, improvements for container based development and bug fixing. Eclipse Oxygen itself has a lot of new cool stuff but let me highlight just a few updates in both Eclipse Oxygen and JBoss Tools plugins that I think are worth mentioning.
OpenShift 3
CDK and Minishift Server Adapter better developer experience
MINISHIFT_HOME setting
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:
Select Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.2+
Click the Next button:
The MINISHIFT_HOME parameter can be set here and is defaulted.
CDK and Minishift Server Adapter runtime download
When working with both CDK and upstream Minishift, you needed to have previously downloaded the CDK or Minishift binary. It is now possible to download the runtime to a specific folder 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:
Select Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.2+
Click the Next button:
In order to download the runtime, click the Download and install runtime… link:
Select the version of the runtime you want to download
Click the Next button:
You need an account to download the CDK. If you already had configured credentials, select the one you want to use. If you didn’t, click the Add button to add your credentials.
Click the Next button. Your credentials will be validated, and upon success, you must accept the license agreement:
Accept the license agreement and click the Next button:
You can choose the folder where you want the runtime to be installed. Once you’ve set it, click the Finish button:
The download of the runtime will be started and you should see the progression on the server adapter wizard:
Once the download is completed, you will notice that the Minishift Binary and Username fields have been filled:
Click the Finish button to create the server adapter.
Please note that if it’s the first time you install CDK, you must perform an initialization. In the Servers view, right click the server and select the Setup CDK menu item:
Please note that the setup-cdk command will also be automatically run when you start the CDK server adapter if the MINISHIFT_HOME environment is detected uninitialized after user approval.
Minishift Server Adapter
A new server adapter has been added to support upstream Minishift. While the server adapter itself has limited functionality, it is able to start and stop the Minishift virtual machine via its minishift binary. From the Servers view, click New and then type minishift, that will bring up a command to setup and/or launch the Minishift server adapter.
All you have to do is set the location of the minishift binary file, the type of virtualization hypervisor and an optional Minishift profile name.
Once you’re finished, a new Minishift Server adapter will then be created and visible in the Servers view.
Once the server is started, Docker and OpenShift connections should appear in their respective views, allowing the user to quickly create a new Openshift application and begin developing their AwesomeApp in a highly-replicatable environment.
The credentials framework still supports the JBoss.org credentials in case other services / components require or use this credentials domain.
Fuse Tooling
New shortcuts in Fuse Integration perspective
Shortcuts for the Java, Launch, and Debug perspectives and basic navigation operations are now provided within the Fuse Integration perspective.
The result is a set of buttons in the Toolbar:
All of the associated keyboard shortcuts are also available, such as Ctrl+Shift+T to open a Java Type.
Performance improvement: Loading Advanced tab for Camel Endpoints
The loading time of the "Advanced" tab in the Properties view for Camel Endpoints is greatly improved.
Previously, in the case of Camel Components that have a lot of parameters, it took several seconds to load the Advanced tab. For example, for the File component, it would take ~3.5s. It now takes ~350ms. The load time has been reduced by a factor of 10. (See this interesting article on response time)
If you notice other places showing slow performance, you can file a report by using the Fuse Tooling issue tracker. The Fuse Tooling team really appreciates your help. Your feedback contributes to our development priorities and improves the Fuse Tooling user experience.
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.
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.
Fuse Ignite Technical Extension templates
The existing template for "Custom step using a Camel Route" has been updated to work with Fuse 7 Tech Preview 4.
Two new templates have been added: - Custom step using Java Bean - Custom connector
Improvements of the wizard to create a Fuse Integration project
The creation wizard provides better guidance for the targeted deployment environment:
More place is available to choose the templates and they are now filtered based on the targeted environment:
It also points out to other places to find different examples for advanced users (see the link at the bottom of the previous screenshot).
Camel Rest DSL editor (Technical preview)
Camel is providing a Rest DSL to help the integration through Rest endpoints. Fuse Tooling is now providing a new tab in read-only mode to visualize the Rest endpoints defined.
It is currently in Tech Preview and needs to be activated in Window → Preferences → Fuse Tooling → Editor → Enable Read Only Tech preview REST DSL tab.
Work is still ongoing and feedback is very welcome on this new feature, you can comment on this JIRA epic.
Dozer upgrade and migration
When upgrading from Camel < 2.20 to Camel > 2.20, the Dozer dependency has been upgraded to a version not backward-compatible If you open a Data transformation based on Dozer in Fuse Tooling, it will propose to migrate the file used for the transformation (technically changing the namespace). It allow to continue to use the Data Transformation editor and have - in most cases - the Data Transformation working at runtime with Camel > 2.20.
Hibernate Tools
Hibernate Runtime Provider Updates
A number of additions and updates have been performed on the available Hibernate runtime providers.

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.

Introduction
The JBoss Tools OpenShift tooling uses rsync between your local workstation and running pods on an OpenShift cluster. This is used by the OpenShift server adapter to provide hot deploy and debugging features to the developer.
If you’re running JBoss Tools and/or Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio on a Linux or MacOSX platform, you’re not concerned by this article. If you’re running on Windows platform, you may be aware that there are some permission relation issues that are painful. The aim of this article is to explain the root cause and how to fix it.
The problem
The OpenShift tooling is using rsync to synchronize local changes to your project to remote pods running on an OpenShift cluster. The problem on Windows is that rsync is very Linux/UNIX based and by default, it tries to may users/permissions of files between the two platforms. As Windows user and permission management is totally different from the Linux one, it leads to strange permissions being set on your local files, this causing some failures when trying to update those files.
It’s possible to prevent rsync to map this user/permission through some rsync flag. Unfortunately, rsync is not launched by the OpenShift tooling but through the help of the OpenShift oc client which does not allow to pass this flags.
The solution
The last one is based on Cygwin and both of them use a mapping between Windows paths (C: based) and Linux/UNIX ones. This mapping can be controlled through a file called etc/fstab. The solution that we are proposing here is to instruct not to map user and permissions at this level. Please note that this file may not be present, so may need to create one in this case.
How to locate the file
The fstab file is located into the rsync distribution your are using (Cygwin or cwRsync). In order to get the installation path, open a Windows command shell and type the following command:
where rsync.exeThis will give you the path of the rsync.exe executable that is used by default. It has the general form of $MY_RSYNC_DIST_DIR\bin\rsync.exe where $MY_RSYNC_DIST_DIR is the folder where your rsync distribution is installed.
The fstab file is located at $MY_RSYNC_DIST_DIR/etc/fstab.
Updating the file
If you don’t find the file at the proper location (cwRsync case), then it’s very simple. Create the file at $MY_RSYNC_DIST_DIR/etc/fstab and paste the following content:
# /etc/fstab
#
# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description
# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
# This is default anyway:
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0If the file already exists, then it’s likely that you have a line like:
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0So, just add the noacl flag to the list of options:
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0Save the file, you’re done and you should not have anymore permission errors during rsync operations !!!.

OpenShift 3
Spring Boot applications support in OpenShift server adapter
The OpenShift server adapter allowed hotdeploy and debugging for JEE and NodeJS based applications. It now supports Spring Boot applications with some limitations: the Spring Boot devtools module must be added to your application as it monitors code changes and as the application must be launched in exploded mode, you must use the upstream image (docker.io/fabric8/s2i-java) rather than the downstream image builder fis-java-openshift.
As an example, we’ve provided an OpenShift template that will create an OpenShift application based on the upstream application and a Git repository that added the Spring Boot devtools to the Fabric8 Spring Boot quickstart.

}You can see a demo of the OpenShift server adapter for Spring Boot application here:
Support for route timeouts and liveness probe for OpenShift Server Adapter debugging configurations
While debugging your OpenShift deployment, you may face two different issues:
-
if you launch your test through a Web browser, then it’s likely that you will access your OpenShift deployment through an OpenShift route. The problem is that, by default, OpenShift routes have a 30 seconds timeout for each request. So if you’re stepping through one of your breakpoints, you will get a timeout error message in the browser window even if you can still debug your OpenShift deployment. And you’re now stuck will the navigation of your OpenShift application.
-
if your OpenShift deployment has a liveness probe configured, depending on your virtual machine capabilities or how your debugger is configured, if your stepping into one of your breakpoints, the liveness probe may fail thus OpenShift so OpenShift will restart your container and your debugging session will be destroyed.
So, from now, when the OpenShift server adapter is started in debug mode, the following action are being performed:
-
if an OpenShift route is found that is linked to the OpenShift deployment you want to debug, the route timeout will be set or increased to 1 hour. The original or default value will be restored when the OpenShift server adapter will be restarted in
runmode. -
if your OpenShift deployment has a liveness probe configured, the
initialDelayfield will be increased to 1 hour if the defined value for this field is lower than 1 hour. If the value of this field is defined to a value greater than 1 hour, it is left intact. The original value will be restored when the OpenShift server adapter will be restarted inrunmode
Enhanced command to delete resource(s)
When it comes to delete OpenShift resources, you had two different choices:
-
individually delete each resource but as some resources are hidden by the OpenShift explorer, it may become troublesome
-
delete the containing OpenShift project but you are then deleting more resources than required
There is now a new enhanced command to delete resources. It is available at the OpenShift project level and it will first list all the available OpenShift resources for the selected OpenShift project. You can now select the ones you want to delete and you can also filter the list using a filter that will be applied to the labels for each retrieved OpenShift resource.
So if you have two different deployments in a single OpenShift project (if you using OpenShift Online Starter for example) or if you have different kind of resources in a single deployment, you can now distinct them.
Let’s see this in action:
In this example, I have deployed an EAP6.4 based application and an EAP7.0 based one. Here is what you can see from the OpenShift explorer:
Now, let’s invoke the new delete command on the eap OpenShift project: right click the OpenShift project and select Delete Resources…:
Let suppose that we want to delete the EAP6.4 deployement. Enter eap=6.4 in the filter field:
Push the Select All button:
Close this dialog by pushing the OK button. The resources will be deleted and the OpenShift explorer will be updated accordingly:
Fuse Tooling
Fuse 7 Karaf-based runtime Server adapter
Fuse 7 is cooking and preliminary versions are already available on early-access repository. Fuse Tooling is ready to leverage them so that you can try the upcoming major Fuse version.
Classical functionalities with server adapters are available: automatic redeploy, Java debug, Graphical Camel debug through created JMX connection. Please note: - you can’t retrieve the Fuse 7 Runtime yet directly from Fuse tooling, it is required to download it on your machine and point to it when creating the Server adapter. - the provided templates requires some modifications to have them working with Fuse 7, mainly adapting the bom. Please see work related to it in this JIRA task and its children.
Display routes defined inside "routeContext" in Camel Graphical Editor (Design tab)
"routeContext" tag is a special tag used in Camel to provide the ability to reuse routes and to split them across different files. This is very useful on large projects. See Camel documentation for more information. Since this version, the Design of the routes defined in "routeContext" tags are now displayed.
Usability improvement: Progress bar when "Changing the Camel version"
Since Fuse Tooling 10.1.0, it is possible to change the Camel version. In case the Camel version was not cached locally yet and for slow internet connections, this operation can take a while. There is now a progress bar to see the progress.
Support for creating Fuse Ignite Technical Extensions
We are happy to announce the addition of support for creating Technical Extension projects for Fuse Ignite*. That includes the creation of the project using the "New Fuse Ignite Extension Project" wizard as well as support for building the deployable artifact directly from inside the Eclipse environment.
*Fuse Ignite is a JBoss Fuse feature that provides a web interface for integrating applications. Without writing code, a business expert can use Ignite to connect to applications and optionally operate on data between connections to different applications. In Ignite, a data operation is referred to as a step in an integration. Ignite provides steps for operations such as filtering and mapping data. To operate on data in ways that are not provided by Ignite built-in steps, you can develop an Ignite extension to define one or more custom steps. Fuse Ignite comes as part of Fuse and Fuse Online. Please refer to the online documentation for more information on how to create and configure technical extensions for Fuse Ignite.
The provided project template allows you to define an Apache Camel route as the base flow of your new technical extension.
To configure your new technical extension you can use the JSON file created with the new project.
Forge Tools
Forge Runtime updated to 3.8.1.Final
The included Forge runtime is now 3.8.1.Final. Read the official announcement here.
And more…
You can find more noteworthy updates in on this page.
We are happy to announce the latest release of the Red Hat Application Migration Toolkit (RHAMT) Eclipse Plugin.
Getting Started
It is now available through JBoss Central, and from the update site here.
What is RHAMT?
RHAMT is an automated application migration and assessment tool.
Example ways to RHAMT up your code:
-
Moving your application from WebLogic to EAP, or WebSphere to EAP
-
Version upgrade from Hibernate 3 to Hibernate 4, or EAP 6 to EAP 7
-
Change UI technologies from Seam 2 to pure JSF 2.
An example of how to run the RHAMT CLI:
$ ./rhamt-cli --input /path/to/jee-example-app-1.0.0.ear --output /path/to/output --source weblogic --target eap:7
The output is a report used to assess and prioritize migration and modernization efforts.
The RHAMT Eclipse Plugin - What does it do?
Consider an application migration comprised of thousands of files, with a myriad of small changes, not to mention the tediousness of switching between the report and your IDE. Who wants to be the engineer assigned to that task? :) Instead, this tooling marks the source files containing issues, making it easy to organize, search, and in many cases automatically fix issues using quick fixes.
Let me give you a quick walkthrough.
Ruleset Graphical Editor
Ruleset navigation and editing is faster and more intuitive thanks to the new graphical editor.
Ruleset View
We have created a view dedicated to the management of rulesets. Default rulesets shipped with RHAMT can now be opened, edited, and referenced while authoring your own custom rulesets.
Run Configuration
The Eclipse plugin interacts with the RHAMT CLI process, thereby making it possible to specify command line options and custom rulesets.
Ruleset Submission
Lastly, contribute your custom rulesets back to the community from within the IDE.
You can find more detailed information here.
Our goal is to make the RHAMT tooling easy to use. We look forward to your feedback and comments!
Have fun!
