Installing JBoss AS: http://community.jboss.org/message/203487#203487
Also see the free chapter 1 of JBoss in Action.

Installing Eclipse: Download the "Eclipse for Java EE Developers" package. Then see the JBoss Tools docs for installing the JBoss Tools plugin. Those docs also have a number of tutorials to get you started.
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.1.0.GA/

For the MySQL JDBC driver, you can download it from the MySQL web site, or get your package manager on Linux to download it. I always get mine from the Maven repository.

Oh, I always place everything in /opt. But I first change the ownership of /opt to my account. This I unpack the Eclipse tar.gz and JBoss AS zip file there:

/opt/eclipse
/opt/jboss-5.1.0.GA

correct

Hi Everyone!

Recently I had installed 'Eclipse for Java EE Developers' in my laptop. But when ever I run eclipse.exe, the eclipse workspace loading screen pops up and goes away immediately. I have also installed
(1) Java(TM) 6 update 14
(2) Java (TM) SE Development Kit 6 update 14
in my laptop. But no matter how many times I try, the workspace/ eclipse environment never get loaded.

I even tried by creating a new user and launching eclipse from there. But still it is not working. I was thinking that it may be because I am using Netbeans 9 that is causing this problem, so I had removed it, but still no use!

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance!
