JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.2.2.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 8.0.2.GA

What’s an Integration Stack?

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

JBoss Fuse Development

  • Fuse Tooling - Tools related to integrating and developing software components that work with Apache ServiceMix, ActiveMQ and Camel - support for Fuse.

The Fuse Development tooling category has both released and early access components. Consequently, you will see it in both the release installation dialog and the early access installation dialog.

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.

The SOA Development tooling category has both released and early access components. Consequently, you will see it in both the release install dialog and the early access install dialog.

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.

What’s Been Updated?

Updates have been made to the Business Process tooling, Fuse Tooling, Data Virtualization and SwitchYard. See the Integration Stack 8.0.2 Release Notes

Released Tooling Highlights

JBoss Fuse Development Highlights

  • New projects can now be given an arbitrary name. Previously, artifactId was used as the project name without the possibility to alter it.

  • JMX Navigator has been moved to JBoss Core and reworked. It now contains 3 categories: Local Processes, Server Connections, and User-Defined Connections.

  • Camel Debugger has been added. It allows to set, edit and remove breakpoints in the Design view. Camel 2.12 or higher is required for this functionality.

  • The Servers view now provides access to JMX when the server is running. Fuse-specific nodes are now also visible in the Servers view.

  • New and reworked server adapters have been added for Apache Karaf, Apache ServiceMix, and JBoss Fuse.

  • The previous deployment mechanism using hotfolder, JMX node and fabric8 nodes has been replaced by a publishing logic in the Servers view.

  • Project running on a server are now automatically redeployed when changed locally.

  • The Servers view now shows deployed projects and their bundle state.

  • The deploy, redeploy and undeploy operations are now all done in the Servers view.

  • Server credentials are now stored in the Eclipse secure storage.

  • A new editor palette drawer has been added for the most frequently used Camel components.

  • New custom component properties pages have been added.

  • Fabric8 tooling is now DEPRECATED and will be removed with the release of Fuse Tooling 8.0.0 (released in sync with JBoss Fuse 7.0.0).

BPMN2 Modeler Highlights

Teiid Designer Highlights

Early Access/ Technical Preview Tooling Highlights

Fuse Tooling Highlights

  • The new SAP Tool Suite enables integration of Camel routes with a remote SAP application server. The suite consists of ten components that support Remote Function Calls (RFC) and transmission of Intermediate Documents (IDocs).

  • The new Data Transformation tooling provides a GUI to assist users in implementing data translations as part of Camel routes.

Developer Studio and JBoss Tools arrive on Mars

posted by Max Rydahl Andersen on Jun 23, 2015.

release jbosstools devstudio jbosscentral

I’m happy to announce that from today JBoss Tools 4.3 Beta1 and Developer Studio 9 Beta1 is available for download.

jbosstools jbdevstudio blog header

Java 8 to run Eclipse; older runtimes OK for builds/deployment

To use this Beta, you must run Eclipse with Java 8.

You can still target development for old Java versions though. Yes, you can still target your Java 1.4 projects :)

We are doing this because certain components of Eclipse Mars now require Java 8 (especially Sapphire) and according to our usage stats, Java 8 will have gained majority this year.

But we have not made JBoss Tools dependent on Java 8 yet, since we want to get feedback from users on whether requiring Java 8 will be a problem.

Let us know on our forum, or contact Red Hat support if this will be a problem for you to use it.

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 4.5 (Mars) but we recommend using the Eclipse 4.5 JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled. In case that page it not available check main eclipse download for the Mars release.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools (Mars)" or "JBoss Developer Studio (Mars)".

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

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

Note: Integration Stack tooling will become available from JBoss Central at a later date.

What is new ?

The full details of what is new is available on this page. Some highlights below.

New Shiny Central

JBoss Central has now been updated to be faster to load, less overloaded and give access to any project example from developer.jboss.org.

html5 central

Docker tooling

There is now tooling to connect to (multiple) Docker daemons which allows you to pull, build, start, stop, etc. Images and Containers.

docker explorer view

The Docker tooling is technically part of Eclipse Mars, but we wanted to make it easily available to all JBoss Tools users, so we included it into our updatesite. In future releases, we will add some specific JBoss Tools integrations for our server adapters and OpenShift - but for now, what is included are the vanilla Eclipse Mars Docker tools.

Visual Java EE 7 Batch

We’ve added a visual diagram editor for Java EE 7 Batch tooling. Allowing you to visualize and edit your batch flow:

diagram

Big thanks to Tomáš Milata who worked on this for his thesis and contributed the foundation for this functionality!

Below is a video of the highlights of the feature set:

OpenShift 3

OpenShift 3 now works with OAuth logins as well as basic authentication and there is now support for creating applications from OpenShift/Kubernetes templates.

create from template

Port Monitoring

JBoss server adapters now support port monitoring, allowing you to trace and inspect requests made to a server.

20150521 monitoring view

Experimental LaunchBar

The Eclipse CDT project created a new feature called the LaunchBar, allowing to easily run launch configurations. We’ve added experimental support for WTP server adapters (like JBoss server adapters) making them as easy to run as a Java app. Details here.

20150604 launchbar

Next steps

Let us know what you like/hate about the release and if you find issues, please open a ticket at our issue tracker.

Going from Beta1 to Beta2, we are focusing on reported issues and going for improving Docker, OpenShift, JavaScript and JavaEE related features.

Hope you enjoy it and remember…​

Have fun!

JBoss Tools Alpha2 for Eclipse Mars

posted by Max Rydahl Andersen on Apr 28, 2015.

release jbosstools jbosscentral

Alpha 2 build for Eclipse Mars M6 is now available at Alpha2 download.

Installation

This version of JBoss Tools targets Eclipse Mars 4.5 (M6).

We recommend using the Eclipse 4.5 JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you use our update site directly:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/development/updates/core/

Note: Marketplace entry and Integration Stack tooling will become available from JBoss Central at a later date.

What is new ?

Easy Import/Open of projects

We have included our incubation project at Eclipse that makes importing and opening of projects much easier than default Eclipse. No longer do you need to know or guess at which of many import wizards are the right one. With this you just use File  Import Project from Folder, point it to a folder and it will auto-detect the type of project, imports ann configure it as best as it can.

easyimport filemenu

Once started it will recursively scan the selected folder and report which directories it found.

easyimport wizard

We included this incubation feature to get early feedback - please do give it a try and let us know if it works great or if we detected some projects "badly".

OpenShft v3

Our OpenShift integration now allow you to connect to OpenShift 3 in addition to the existing OpenShift 2 support.

connection wizard server type

Once connected you can browse the OpenShift/Kubernetes data for your application/projects.

view explorer v3

Note: OpenShift v3 is not available from openshift.com to try at this point in time. If you want to try use it you can follow the instructions at OpenShift Origin sample app.

Java EE 7 Batch wizards, content assist, validation and refactoring

In Alpha 1 we introduced support for Java EE 7 batch specification and now extending this support with a wizard, content assist, linked navigation, searching and refactoring of Batch elements.

validation

Details are in Batch Tools New and Noteworthy.

WildFly 9

We’ve added native WildFly 9 runtime detection and server support. You no longer need to use the WildFly 8 adapter and detection will work correctly now.

Content assist for AngularJS Expressions

When editing AngularJS single-page html (not templates) the html editor now communicates with the preview to provide content assist for angularjs expressions.

angular

Custom HTML Tag validation

There is now a quickfix for marking custom HTML5 elements to be ignored in validation.

validation

Note: this is not specific to JBoss Tools, it is built into Eclipse M6

Next steps

With Alpha2 out we are heading towards a Beta1.

In Beta1 we are targeting including:

  1. OpenShift v3 support for templates

  2. Docker Tooling

  3. Better JavaScript content assist

  4. Making project imports in Eclipse even simpler

  5. And more…​

As always, ask/suggest away and we’ll keep you posted!

Have fun!

JBoss Tools 4.2.3 and Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1

posted by Alexey Kazakov on Apr 02, 2015.

release jbosstools devstudio jbosscentral

Happy to announce JBoss Tools 4.2.3 and Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1 for Eclipse Luna are finally available.

jbosstools jbdevstudio blog header

Installation

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

If you have JBoss Developer Studio 8.0.0.GA already installed, just run:

Help > Check for updates

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 Eclipse, you can either 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.

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

What is New?

This release is update for Eclipse Luna and also includes some new features which we would like to highlight. You can see everything in the What’s New section for this release.

Eclipse Luna SR2

This version of JBoss Tools targets Eclipse Luna SR2. More stability. Less false positive JavaScript errors. And many other fixed bugs.

JBoss Developer Studio also includes an important feature patch for Eclipse Web Tools 3.6.3. That patch fixes Eclipse freezes for some JavaScript files.

FeedHenry support

If you are a FeedHenry user we’ve now added support for easy importing and running of your FeedHenry Cordova applications.

importFeedHenryAppWiz

New Wildfly Archetypes in JBoss Central

WildFly 8.2.0.GA archetypes are now available for the HTML5, JavaEE Web & EAR project wizards. They will be automatically enabled when you select a WildFly runtime in the project wizards.

IP6 Support Added for Server Tools

For JBoss 7 and Wildfly installations, using hostnames with an IPv6 format often failed to connect, show webpages, or even verify the server’s state. Several changes have made this work as expected. With updated wildfly jars, management commands will execute without issue. In addition, our tools will now automatically recognize host names in an IPv6 pattern, and update your launch configuration’s various launch arguments to ensure that the server starts properly and with all expected flags set.

Upgraded Forge 2 Runtime

The Forge 2 runtime was upgraded to 2.15.2.Final. See the full release notes here.

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

note

HTML5 & JavaScript Editing Improvements

HTML validation in Eclipse Web Tools Luna has an annoying issue with custom HTML5 tags. It warns about any HTML tag name that is not mentioned in the HTML specification. We contributed a patch to Eclipse Mars which allows to disable those warnings for any particular tag name (or a tag name mask, e.g. <ion-*>). Though this was fixed in Eclipse Mars only we back ported this useful feature to JBoss Tools 4.2.3 which is based on Eclipse Luna SR2:

validation

JavaSript file validation now respects ECMA5 keywords.

Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse 0.8.2

Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse (available via JBoss Central - Early Access) has been upgraded to 0.8.2 version.

There is a bunch of new features which were introduced in 0.8.0 releases:

0.8.2 releases also include bug fixes for some critical issues which caused Eclipse to freeze.

Multiple Browser Engine Support on Linux in Visual Editor

On Linux Visual Page Editor can be opened in HTML5 mode for HTML files, where all HTML5 features are supported. Visual Page editor mode can be changed with dialog, which appears during HTML file opening or in Visual Page Editor Preferences.

engine dialog

Deprecation of Visual Editor for JSF Pages

Currently JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio have some problems with supporting both HTML5 Visual Preview and JSF Visual Editor. It’s related to the outdated XULRunner which is used in JBoss Tools to provide visual editing feature for JSF pages. It has very limited HTML5 support and conflicts with other browsers which may be used for HTML5 preview. It’s time now to deprecate the visual part of XHTML and JSP Page editor. JBoss Developer Studio 8.1 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3 still include JSF Visual Editor but it will be removed in future releases.

This deprecation is only about the visual part of the XHTML/JSP Editor (Visual/Source and Preview tabs). The existing content assist, code navigation, wizards etc. related to JSF will still be present in the source editor.

What is Next

We are now focusing on JBoss Developer Studio 9 and JBoss Tools 4.3 for Eclipse Mars. Alpha1 is already available and we are working on upcoming Alpha2.

Enjoy!

We’re there! - JBoss Data Virtualization tooling is now available. JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.2.0.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 8.0.0.GA

jbosstools jbdevstudio blog header

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.

Installation

To install the Integration Stack tools, first install JBoss Developer Studio from the all-in-one installer, bundled and configured out of the box with everything you need to get started. Alternatively, if you already have eclipse-jee-luna installed, you can install JBoss Developer Studio or JBoss Tools from the Eclipse Marketplace via Help > Eclipse Marketplace…​

Eclipse Marketplace - JBDS

Once Developer Studio is installed, restart Eclipse and select the Software/Update tab in the JBoss Central view. The current 8.0.0.GA integration stack is available automatically with the released JBoss Data Virtualization Development tooling. The remainder of the integration tooling is available as Early Access so you must check the Enable Early Access checkbox in the installer window in order to install.

Select the items you’d like to install:

JBoss Central Early Access - JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack

The standard p2 installer is available for JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack. Simply start jbdevstudio or eclipse-with-jbds, then:

 Help > Install New Software...
 Add...
 - use this for 'Location:' for the production integration stack:
   http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/updates/stable/luna/integration-stack/aggregate/8.0.0.GA/

 - use this for 'Location:' for the early access integration stack:
   http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/updates/stable/luna/integration-stack/aggregate/8.0.0.GA/earlyaccess/

The community JBoss Tools Integration Stack installation is easy as well. If you already have eclipse-jee-luna installed, install JBoss Tools from the Eclipse Marketplace via Help > Eclipse Marketplace…​

Eclipse Marketplace - JBoss Tools

Once JBoss Tools is installed, restart Eclipse and select the Software/Update tab in the JBoss Central view. The current 4.2.0.Final integration stack is available automatically with the released 'JBoss Data Virtualization Development' tooling. In a manner similar to devstudio, the remainder of the integration tooling is available as "Early Access" so you must check the "Enable Early Access" checkbox in the installer window in order to install.

Select the items you’d like to install:

JBoss Central Early Access - JBoss Tools Integration Stack

  • Quick Fix for migrating Designer 7.7 REST model extension properties

  • Added additional support for comments in transformation SQL

  • for details: Teiid Designer 9.0

Early Access Highlights

For more specifics see:

BPMN2 Modeler

  • The Graphiti framework dependency was changed to require only 0.11. This is now aligned with the same version that is shipped with Eclipse Luna.

  • BPMN 2.0 Model validation has been reworked to allow extension plug-ins to override specific model element constraints. See Bug 427470 for details.

  • Double-click handling in the Outline and Problems views has been improved: a double-click on a node in the Outline view, or an error item in the Problems view will now display the Property sheet for the associated model object to allow immediate editing of the object.

  • The editor now performs a Live validation just before saving a file, and cancels the save process if the model is found to be corrupt (invalid ID string, duplicate IDs, etc.) This prevents the model file from being corrupted.

  • A new User Preference has been added to the Editor Behavior preference page, which allows Text fields to be limited to a maximum length. The default is 255 characters. Note that Multiline text boxes, such as those used for Documentation and Scripts, are not subject to this limit.

Beta Time for JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3

posted by Alexey Kazakov on Mar 05, 2015.

release jbosstools devstudio jbosscentral

We are ready with Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 Beta1 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3 Beta1 for Eclipse Luna SR2.

jbosstools jbdevstudio blog header

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?

This release is update for Eclipse Luna and also includes some new features which we would like to highlight. You can see everything in the What’s New section for this release.

Eclipse Luna SR2

This version of JBoss Tools targets Eclipse Luna SR2. More stability. Less false positive JavaScript errors. And many other fixed bugs.

FeedHenry support

If you are a FeedHenry user we’ve now added support for easy importing and running of your FeedHenry Cordova applications.

importFeedHenryAppWiz

New Wildfly Archetypes in JBoss Central

WildFly 8.2.0.GA archetypes are now available for the HTML5, JavaEE Web & EAR project wizards. They will be automatically enabled when you select a WildFly runtime in the project wizards.

HTML5 & JavaScript Editing Improvements

HTML validation in Eclipse Web Tools Luna has an annoying issue with custom HTML5 tags. It warns about any HTML tag name that is not mentioned in the HTML specification. We contributed a patch to Eclipse Mars which allows to disable those warnings for any particular tag name (or a tag name mask, e.g. <ion-*>). Though this was fixed in Eclipse Mars only we back ported this useful feature to JBoss Tools 4.2.3 which is based on Eclipse Luna SR2:

validation

JavaSript file validation now respects ECMA5 keywords.

Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse 0.8.2

Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse (available via JBoss Central - Early Access) has been upgraded to the latest 0.8.2 version.

There is a bunch of new features which were introduced in 0.8.0 releases:

0.8.2 releases also include bug fixes for some critical issues which caused Eclipse to freeze.

Multiple Browser Engine Support on Linux in Visual Editor

On Linux Visual Page Editor can be opened in HTML5 mode for HTML files, where all HTML5 features are supported. Visual Page editor mode can be changed with dialog, which appears during HTML file opening or in Visual Page Editor Preferences.

engine dialog

IP6 Support Added for Server Tools

For JBoss 7 and Wildfly installations, using hostnames with an IPv6 format often failed to connect, show webpages, or even verify the server’s state. Several changes have made this work as expected. With updated wildfly jars, management commands will execute without issue. In addition, our tools will now automatically recognize host names in an IPv6 pattern, and update your launch configuration’s various launch arguments to ensure that the server starts properly and with all expected flags set.

What’s Next?

We are going to release a candidate release for JBoss Tools 4.2.3 and JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 soon, and we are also working on the next Alpha release for Eclipse Mars.

Enjoy!

JBoss Tools Alpha1 for Eclipse Mars

posted by Max Rydahl Andersen on Feb 23, 2015.

release jbosstools devstudio jbosscentral

Happy to announce first Alpha build for Eclipse Mars M5.

Downloads available at JBoss Tools 4.3.0.Alpha1.

Installation

This version of JBoss Tools targets Eclipse Mars 4.5 (M5).

We recommend using the Eclipse 4.5 JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you use our update site directly:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/development/updates/core/

Note: Marketplace entry and Integration Stack tooling will become available from JBoss Central at a later date.

What is new ?

As always there is more than can be covered in a single blog but here are some of my favorites. You can see everything in the What’s New section for this release.

Java EE 7 Batch and CDI Support

The initial work on providing a structured editor for Java EE 7 Batch job.xml files are in. The editor is based on Eclipse Sapphire and over time we want to extend it for smarter content assist both in the structured editor but also in the source view.

Java EE 7 Batch Editor

Furthermore for Java EE 7 we’ve now added auto enablement of CDI for Java EE 7 projects. Meaning the tools also now honor Java EE 7 CDI spec about no longer requiring beans.xml for activating CDI.

BrowserSim Standalone and iPhone 6 skins

BrowserSim adds skins and layout for iPhone 6 devices.

iphone6

These skins and others are also available in BrowserSim Standalone mode which allow you to run Browersim without depending on a full Eclipse install.

You can use this "oneliner" to try it out:

curl -L -o bs.zip http://bit.ly/browsersim-3-7-ss-jar && unzip bs.zip && java -jar browsersim.jar tools.jboss.org

If you are on OSX you need this one:

curl -L -o bs.zip http://bit.ly/browsersim-3-7-ss-jar && unzip bs.zip && java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar browsersim.jar tools.jboss.org

We’ve extended the HTML5 palette to allow easier adding of often used html5 elements.

palette

This grew the palete to be rather big thus we came up with adding a 'Most popular' slot so you always have easy access to the elements you used most often.

The following video shows how that works.

FeedHenry support

If you are a FeedHenry user we’ve now added support for easy importing and running of your FeedHenry Cordova applications.

importFeedHenryAppWiz

Windows Phone support

Apache Cordova support now includes support for Windows Phone projects (requires you to run on Windows still though :)

WPExport

This also adds support for running Windows Phone Emulator.

Hierarchical projects

This feature is actually part of Eclipse M5 and not directly JBoss Tools but I wanted to mention it because the feature is awesome and it was contributed by us by the great work of Mickael Istria.

In Eclipse M5 the Project Explorer now have a "Projects Presentation" in its view menu. Allowing you to switch from the traditional "Flat" view to the new "Hiearchical". This new option lets you view the projects as they are structured on the filesystem as opposed to one big flat list.

Flat vs Hierarchical projects

This is especially super helpful for those who have large multimodule Maven projects. Now you can get some sanity back.

Next steps

While we wait for feedback on Alpha1, we are already working on what will become Alpha2. Some of the things that are moving here are:

  1. OpenShift v3

  2. Docker Tooling

  3. Better JavaScript content assist

  4. Deprecate/remove visual JSF page editor, focusing on html5 preview

  5. Making project imports in Eclipse simpler

  6. And more…​

As always, ask/suggest away and we’ll keep you posted!

Have fun!
