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:

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

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.

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.

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 adds skins and layout for iPhone 6 devices.

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:

If you are on OSX you need this one:

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

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.

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

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

This also adds support for running Windows Phone Emulator.

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.

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

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:

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

Have fun!

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

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 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.

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

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!

All of these components have been verified to work with the same dependencies as JBoss Tools 4.2 and Developer Studio 8.

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…​

Once Developer Studio is installed, restart Eclipse and select the Software/Update tab in the JBoss Central view. The current 8.0.0.Beta2 integration stack is available as "Early Access" so you must check the "Enable Early Access" checkbox in the installer window. Select the items you’d like to install:

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

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…​

Once JBoss Tools is installed, restart Eclipse and select the Software/Update tab in the JBoss Central view. The current 4.2.0.Beta2 integration stack is available as "Early Access" so you must check the "Enable Early Access" checkbox in the installer window. Select the items you’d like to install:

The standard p2 installer is available for JBoss Tools Integration Stack. Simply start eclipse-with-jbt, then:

Note: If you installed into your own Eclipse you should bump up the launch resource parameters:

We’re getting closer to the final release date. You’ll notice feature source bundles are available from all of the integration stack components. For more specifics see:

This maintenance release includes mostly bug fixes but there are also a few new features which we would like to mention.

Brand new IPhone 6 / 6 plus skins are now available in BrowserSim and CordovaSim

You can now start and stop your OpenShift-hosted application within Eclipse. OpenShift tools offers start- and stop-actions in the context menu of the server adapter and the application in the OpenShift Explorer.

The Arquillian validator creates a marker and a quick fix if a test contains a deployment method that is not public and/or static.

CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection) support is now enabled automatically for Eclipse Web Tools faceted projects if they have any Java EE 7 facet. For example if you create a project via New Dynamic Web Project Wizard and select Web facet v.3.1 you don’t need to enable CDI support in project properties or to install CDI facet. CDI Tools will do it automatically.

The included Forge 2 runtime is now 2.12.3.Final.

More maintenance updates for Eclipse Luna are planned and we continue to work on the major release for Eclipse Mars but it’s all for 2015!

Happy Holidays and a joyful New Year!

This is a Beta1 release so some things are in flux but virtually every component has something new or updated. Here’s a small list of what’s new:

Don’t miss the Features tab for up to date information on your favorite Integration Stack component!

BrowserSim and CordovaSim have a new JavaFx web engine as an alternative to SWT WebKit. In the original there was only one web engine - SWT WebKit. Unfortunately, it has several drawbacks. For example, using SWT WebKit on Windows requires Apple Safari installation (provides SWT WebKit engine), which is pretty obsolete for now - May 9, 2012 is the date of the last update. Moreover, SWT WebKit doesn’t support Debugger API. Due to these limitations it was decided to add JavaFX web engine support. Web engine can be changed in Menu → Preferences → Settings Tab → Browser Engine.

Eclipse console logging is available for both SWT Webkit and JavaFx web engines. Now the output of the main javascript console functions (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) is displayed in the Eclipse console.

Dev Tools Debugger is available only for JavaFx web engine. One can connect the debugger to the BrowserSim / CordovaSim (Right click → Debug → Dev Tools…​) and step through the code, introspect variables and so forth.

Here is a short demo video with the new features:

For one who doesn’t use Eclipse / JBoss Developer Studio there is a standalone mode of BrowserSim. However, only SWT WebKit web engine is supported (we are planning to add JavaFx support in the next releases - JBIDE-18703). More details about BrowserSim standalone can be found in the following blog.

BrowserSim FAQ can be found here. If you wasn’t able to find the answer, just post your question in the comments to this blog.

We are trying our best to make our tools as good as possible. User feedback is what we are seeking for now. We look forward to hearing your comments, remarks and proposals. Please, comment below about features you would you like to have in the upcoming releases!
Have fun!

Once Developer Studio is installed, restart Eclipse and select the Software/Update tab in the JBoss Central view and look for the JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack installation section. Select the items you’d like to install:

The community JBoss Tools Integration Stack URL is:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/integration-stack
