A new version of GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse (ver 1.1) was recently released. The build contains
- Eclipse 3.4.2 IDE with WTP Java EE support
- GlassFish v2.1 pre-registered and configured
- GlassFish v3 Prelude pre-registered and configured
- JavaDB sample database pre-registered and configured
- GlassFish Plugin (1.0.29)
- MySQL JDBC driver registered to the IDE
- Maven m2 plugins
- JAX-WS Metro plugin
- GlassFish documentation
- And optionally, a JDK 1.6.
The functionality is also available in GlassFish Plugin that can be installed on Eclipse 3.5. However because of the Eclipse bug #280365, the plugin cannot be installed directly using Server Adapters. The alternative is to install explicitly using the Update Site. The instructions to do the same are given below:
- In “Help”, “Install New Software”, click on “Available Software Sites”:
- Search for “ajax” to see the output as:
- Click on “Enabled” button to enable the site and see the change as below:
click on “OK”.
- Expand the drop-down list box and chose the recently added “update site” as shown below:
and it shows all the software available from that site as:
- Take the defaults, click on “Next” and it shows the GlassFish plugin version number as shown below:
- Click on “Next”, accept the license by clicking on “I accept …” and click on “Finish” to start the installation.
The IDE restarts after the installation is complete.
- Now a new server can be added using “Servers” tab and it shows GlassFish as an option as shown below:
The screencast #28 shows how to create a simple web application using GlassFish v3. Future blogs will show how to leverage the new functionality of JAX-WS Web services plugin and JPA Dali Tooling with GlassFish.
