Get JBossTools added to wtp 3.2's list of server adapters :: Helios

        • Type: Feature Request
        • Status: Resolved (View Workflow)
        • Priority: Major

          Description

          It seems what happens is you must make use of the org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery plugin. This plugin has a file (discovery.xml) which has "sites", and those sites (such as http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/wasce/updates/) seem to be an eclipse update site.

          The entry point for this wizard is in the New Runtime wizard. At the top is a hyperlink that reads "Download other adapters" (or something similar). It then queries these sites, and allows you to select one of those available.

          It seems the objects are then downloaded as IInstallableUnit's, which is in the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata package.

          I kinda lose track of it here, but, I suspect that after this it is downloaded as an actual eclipse bundle and added into the eclipse installation. But I guess I could trace through further

          Changes to our site would require adding the category and adding it to certain features in our site.xml.

                Nick:

                Judging from your comments, are you suggesting only trunk works and 3.2 is still broken? What are our options for the 3.2 branch?

                Well, I've moved the bits to production (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/webtools/helios/ and http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/webtools/indigo/) using the latest spins of 3.2.2.M2 and 3.3.0.M4, and for trunk (Eclipse Indigo SR1 JEE) you can now find the JBoss AS stuff when you search for other servers.

                But for the 32x branch?

                Houston, we have a problem... the problem is that the discovery plugin that ships w/ Helios SR2 doesn't point at our site. And the updated version in WTP 3.2.4 or .5? Nope, it's not there either.

                http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2.4/R-3.2.4-20110511033327/repository/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery_1.0.102.v20110427.jar

                So, short of getting WTP to spin a 3.2.6 release (unlikely), I don't see any simple way for Helios SR2 JEE users to discover JBoss AS.

                Workaround? Send them here to install the feature by hand: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/webtools/helios/

                Since the AS feature is also on http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/helios/, I see no need to retain this extra site. We can just direct people to the existing site to install the adapter.
