1. Hi Arun,

   Unfortunately, this does not seem to working for me. I can install the plugin and start/stop WildFly, as well as manually deploy applications, but deploying from NetBeans gives me the following error:

   /Users/Steven/Desktop/WFTest/nbproject/build-impl.xml:1071: Deployment error.
   See the server log for details.
   BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

   where line 1071 is the second line below:

   This was using NetBeans’ default Java Web Application. When using a Maven Web Application, I get the following:

   NetBeans: Deploying on WildFly 8
   profile mode: false
   debug mode: false
   force redeploy: true
   (hangs here)

   The “Select depolyment server” window you mentioned never appears.

   I am running NetBeans 8 (201312190002) on JDK 8 b120 and WildFly 8 Beta 1 on JDK 7u45.

2. Hi,
   Some people have encountered this issue. I didn’t meet it during the whole development phase.
   Could you please open a bug and upload the Wildfly and Netbeans log to it :
   there is a category for Wildfly in serverplugins.
   https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=serverplugins

4. Hi,

   I coluld not found Wildfly plugin for NB 7.4 on plugin center. Is it just available for NB 8?

5. You need to explicitly add Dev Update Center in NetBeans, the URL for the same is:

   http://deadlock.netbeans.org/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

   More details on the process at:

9. Hi Arun.

   I’m trying to add the Dev Update Center to my NetBeans 8.0 RC1, but I’m getting a timeout. Checked our company Firewall and *.netbeans.org is white-listed. Is this server still up? Any other way to get the plugin? Like manually downloading and adding it to NetBeans?

   Thanks.

10. Kay,

    Seems like deadlock.netbeans.org is down. Even http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/deadlock.netbeans.org reports the same.

    Try in a few hours ?

11. Hello
    I tried with 8.0 RC1 but is not working. It said Calling “H:\Java\Jboss-Wildfly\wildfly-8.0.0.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat” not useable.

12. Joe,

    Make sure you are using the latest WildFly plugin. What version are you using ?

13. i ran in a cpuple issues trying to make a little web app, first one:

    i followed a couple totorials on configuring datasources and mysql driver in wildfly8, and my datasources were visible on the servers section tab on netbeans BUT when i tried to create a persistence unit, my newly created datasource did not show up on the combobox.
    after several minutes looking around i figured out that netbeans (i dont know why) uses the standalone-ha.xml configuration file, instead of the standalone.xml… this one was not an issue anymore.

    BUT… here comes the second (unresolved) issue:

    if i try the “new entity classes from database” wizard in netbeans, it just keeps asking me to select a datasource, i cant select any of the previously configured ones, just lets me create a new one… buf after creating one, ift just get forgotten and netbeans asks again for a datasource… is this netbeans problem? or has this something to do with the wildfly plugin?????????????

    😐

14. My problem solved with uncheck browser proxy settings. I have the same problem with datasources like Omar. I made datasource for postgresql when I tested connection in wildfly web management program wildfly says connection successfull. Netbeans says insert driver for databases. I do , but it is not working.

15. The plugin doesn’t show up in the final release of NetBeans 8.

16. Another user mentioned the plugin is still available in the nightly version:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23081092/add-plugin-for-wildfly-application-server-to-netbeans?noredirect=1#comment35285357_23081092

    Could you add it to the final version as well?

17. I was hoping it would be resolved by now. Sent another reminder email to the involved folks and will keep you updated.

18. I have this Exception when I Start server

19. Used versions
    Ubuntu 14.04
    Wildfly-8.1.0.Final
    java version “1.8.0_05”
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

20. I am able to install Wildfly 8 server on Netbeans 8. I can start it without any problem from within IDE. But, could not stop it.

21. Bikram,

    What happens when you try to stop it ?

22. When you try to stop it, it just hangs and timeout message is displayed.
    Could only stop running: jboss-cli.bat
    Then: connect
    Finally: shutdown

    In the Netbeans 8, it doesn’t stop by the right click and stop option.

23. Bilal,

    I’ve had the same problem.
    This fixed it for me:

    cd /opt/wildfly-8.1.0.Final/standalone/
    mkdir log
    mkdir data
    chmod a+w log
    chmod a+w data
    chmod a+w deployments
    </pre

25. We’re currently developing our in-house Java EE application under JDeveloper 10 with oc4j and TopLink native, but deplopy the production version with JBoss. We use a “fat” Swing client application. It’s not a satisfying combination and I’m trying to move on, possibly to NetBeans, Jboss/Wildfly and EclipseLink.
    One thing I really like about JDeveloper and oc4j is that I can re-compile a single class on the fly in a debugging session, in a split-second, as long as method signatures don’t change. Can anything like that be achieved in Netbeans with WildFly (or any other J2EE server)?

26. S Brosig,

    Consider using JRebel for dynamic re-compilation of classes in NetBeans, Ecipse, and IntelliJ.
