Problem in setting up JBoss with eclipse for EJB3.0

[Devendra Thomare]

HI All ,

I am using MZ SCBCD 5 notes for setting JBoss with eclipse . I am following same steps and same version of jars as mentioned in MZ notes

but while creating server in eclipse as per MZ notes when we go to Window > Open Perspective > Other

it shows various perspective in which one of the perspective is "JBoss AS"

when when i tried this it eclipse shows only " JBoss Cache" and "JBoss Rules"

Could anybody please let me know what is the problem or any other alternative to set up server if anybody has tried this ?

Setting up a JBoss in Eclipse is like setting up any server for that matter. If you have used Eclipse before, this should not at all be a task for you. Try googling out and you will find your way.

Hi Devendra,

I am also facing exactly the same problem! :x

[Devendra Thomare]

I had tried this with JBoss 4.0.4 whereas it was recommended that you should use 4.0.5

Today i will try with 4.0.5 version and hope this will work

Or you are getting this problem with 4.0.5 only ?

[Niranjan Deshpande]

i do not remember whether i used 0.4 or 0.5! :roll:

please let me know if it worked for you. once this is donce it can ease of teh task of writing ejbs, and debug them in eclipse, also connect to the hsql database that comes with jboss

MZ SCBCD 5 notes for setting JBoss with eclipse

No link was provided and I am not familiar with these "notes" so I cannot comment on them. Did you install JBoss Tools? If so, which version, and what version of Eclipse? (I have Eclipse 3.3 with JBoss Tools 2.1, and I have the JBoss AS perspective.)

[Niranjan Deshpande]

Hi Peter,

I am using Eclipse 3.4.1. I downloaded the All Plugins - Windows version 2.1.2.GA from this link

I unzipped the zip file. I manually moved the contents of the /plugins /features to <eclipse_home>/plugins and <eclipse_home>/features respectively. As mentioned in the installation instructions of section Installing JBoss Tools manuallyof this link, I started eclipse with the -clean flag.

I was able to see the JBossAS perspective in the Open Perspective option

But when I opened the perspective, I got this in the JBossAS window:

I am pretty close to the installation. Can you please help me to put the last missing piece?

HI Peter,

i am using eclipse 3.3.2

first i installed jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar

then i manually copied features and plugin folder of JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta2-ALL to eclipse's respective folders.

Did i miss any steps ?


Thanks ,
Devendra Thomare.

Devendra,

Peter was stressing to use JBoss Tools and not JBoss IDE.
