GlassFish Tooling

Posted by ludo on June 15, 2007 at 6:58 PM EDT
Bonjour, comment Java?

Today is feature freeze date for NetBeans 6.0 Milestone 10, and here are a few of the new features rolling in from the GlassFish's perspective:
  • GlassFish V1 and V2 support (download the server from https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/downloadsindex.html )
  • new Sun specific deployment descriptors files GUI editors
  • Finally Java EE Application (EAR) exploded directory deployment (much faster to deploy). (Web Application directory deployment was there since NetBeans 4.1)
  • Unified DataSource definition and Registration
  • GlassFish V3 preview module available on NetBeans Udpate Center
  • jMaki plugin working for both Netbeans 5.5.x and NetBeans 6.0 M10
  • Phobos plugins for both Netbeans 5.5.x and NetBeans 6.0 M10

Yesterday was also the WTP.2.0 Release Candidate 3 for Eclipse Java EE 5 support. A nice addition in this WTP 2.0 RC3 is the capability of registering the GlassFish (v1, V2, or even V3) Application server directly from the Eclipse 3.3: In the "New Server" dialog, you'll see a "Download Additional Server Adapters" link. When you click on it, you have the following choices:

If you add the recent MyEclipse 5.5 support for GlassFish V2, you must admit that GlassFish Java EE 5 server  has a very nice Tools coverage so far for developers... Idea anybody?

Bye,
