GlassFish Tooling

Posted by ludo on June 15, 2007 at 03:58 PM | Comments (14)

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,
Ludo

    You can use this search to get to those descriptions.

  • Is the server adaptor mil-spec for Europa final? I'm getting "Constraints for Sun Deployment Descriptors files 9 have not been met." when I try to create a new Application Client Project. See

    and

    Gracias.

  • Hi Ludo(ou plutpot salut Ludo). I had a problem to install Glassfish Server in Eclipse Europa. The server was installed without problems as it was described in the doc. I can start or stop it via the console ('cmd' command). In Eclipse I downloaded additional server adapter (as described here: https://glassfishplugins.dev.java.net/eclipse33/index.html).But when I try to set up a new server and choose Glassfish, every time Eclipse doesn't find some jar file when I browse to Glassfish install directory. HAve you any idea of the reason? Thanks.

  • Hi Ludo, I've followed all the instructions on the pages mentioned above but I still have a problem starting the server from Eclipse. The last message in the console window is this:

    [#|2007-09-12T11:06:51.965+1200|INFO|sun-appserver9.1|javax.enterprise.system.core|_ThreadID=10;_ThreadName=main;|Application server startup complete.|#]

    But the progress window shows the Starting server task as only reaching 7%, and eventually it times out with a dialog saying the server could not be started. Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks.

  • Most of the time, this is a firewall config issue... Can you see if you have one, and disable it temporarly to see if Eclipse can detect if the server is running?
    Which Eclipse version by the way are you using?

    Posted by: ludo on September 11, 2007 at 04:28 PM

  • Problem solved, I re-installed both Glassfish (v2rc8) and the server adaptor (v1.0.1) and all worked OK. Originally I had installed Glassfish v1and tweaked the port numbers slightly as I was also running Tomcat on port 8080 so suspect this could have been the cause of the problem - your firewall suggestion was a great hint, although I'm not running one on my local machine (it's inside a corporate LAN), it made me start thinking about port numbers. BTW it was Eclipse 3.3. Many thanks!

  • Hi Ludo,

    After I searched for additional servers and install the galssfish plugin for eclipse 3.3, after the IDE restarts I do not see glassfish any where either on choose server window or the install additional plugin window. But once I totally remove eclipse and reinstalls it I get glassfish in the additional plugins and after restart its gone again. Can you please help me out. Thanks

  • Hi Ludo, I have the same problems as manjuwicky. It is possible to download the Glassfish plugin via the "Install new Server Adapter" and the .jar-file lies in the plugins folder, where it should be. But even after this probably successful installation, the plugin is not working. No Glassfish Server possibilities are showing up in the New Server dialog, even after restarting eclipse.
    Do you have any clue how to fix this?

  • Hi sebschne, manjuwicky

    I got the same problem, installed the plugin but Glassfish server was not showing up in New Server dialog after eclipse restart. It was because of permission problems in the plugin directory. See this page for details:
    Eclipse3.3 plugin for Glassfish

    Posted by: vineetmanohar on March 11, 2008 at 01:43 PM

  • I am unable to install the plugin. I downloaded Eclipse 3.3.2 Europa from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, installed Glassfish V2, and then tried to install the plugin via the instructions at https://glassfishplugins.dev.java.net/eclipse33/index.html. I click on the "download additional..." link, click Glassfish, it downloads something, I restart Eclipse, and there is still no Glassfish server option. I also tried this -> http://kaypress.kayrin.com/?p=220 which describes manual installation, and that didn't work either. Multiple re-tries including fresh installs of Eclipse...no success. Windows XP SP2. No idea what to try next. Any ideas?
