WildFly 9 on NetBeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ, OpenShift, and Maven (Tech Tip #86)

redhat, techtip, wildfly, , , , ,

wildfly9-banner

WildFly 9 CR1 was recently released. Lots of cool features are included:

  • Intelligent load balancing
  • HTTP/2 and SPDY support
  • A new offline CLI mode
  • Graceful single node shutdown
  • A new Servlet-only distribution

And this is above the usual Java EE 7 compliance!

This blog is a quick check to verify that it works in all three major IDEs and OpenShift.

WildFly 9 and NetBeans

Lets start with NetBeans 8.0.x first. The screenshot shows WildFly 9 CR1 configured in NetBeans and started. The log is shown in the console.

WildFly 9 CR1 on NetBeans

Complete instructions to setup WildFly in NetBeans are in NetBeans 8 and WildFly 8.

WildFly 9 and Eclipse

Getting Started with JBoss Tools and WildFly 8 shows how to configure WildFly with JBoss Tools. Here are the series of snapshots that shows configuring WildFly 9 in JBoss Tools with Eclipse Mars M6.

A new experimental runtime …

WildFly 9 CR1 Experimental

Specify the directory …

WildFly 9 CR1 Eclipse New Runtime

Now WildFly 9 is configured as a Server in Eclipse …

WildFly 9 CR1 Eclipse Servers

And finally the server is up and running …

WildFly 9 CR1 Eclipse Console

Complete details, including download and update center coordinates, are explained at JBoss Tools Alpha 2 for Eclipse Mars.

WildFly 9 and IntelliJ

WildFly 8 and IntelliJ IDEA Screencast provide complete details on how to setup IntelliJ with WildFly. The snapshot below shows WildFly 9 configured in IntelliJ 14.1.2.

WildFly 9 CR1 with IntelliJ 14

WildFly 9 and OpenShift

Creating an OpenShift application is pretty straightforward as well:

This creates a new application and uses WildFly 9 as the underlying application server. Complete details about the OpenShift cartridge are at github.com/openshift-cartridges/openshift-wildfly-cartridge/tree/wildfly-9. You can find about how to create an OpenShift application with an existing application, how to connect to this WildFly instance using JBoss CLI.

WildFly 8 CR1 on OpenShift also provide more details.

WildFly 9 and Maven

WildFly Maven Plugin  provide the latest information about how to get started with WildFly Maven plugin.

But you just need to fire up a WildFly server as:

And then deploy the Java EE 7 Movieplex application as:

And the plugin definition is very simple:

WildFly plugin integrated in NetBeans (Tech Tip #31)

techtip, wildfly

WildFly tooling is available in JBoss Developer Studio (Eclipse), NetBeans, and IntelliJ. While JBoss Developer Studio and IntelliJ provided in-built support for WildFly, and an extra plugin had to be installed for NetBeans. Not a big deal but NetBeans is more known for a seamless out-of-the-box experience. Starting with today’s nightly, WildFly community is a step closer to that now!

This means if you download the latest NetBeans nightly, WildFly plugin is now integrated in NetBeans. You still need to download WildFly and configure it though.

netbeans-wildfly-techtip31

Tech Tip #18 shows screencasts on how to do Java EE 7 development with NetBeans.

Many thanks to Emmanuel Hugonet (@ehsavoie) for providing the plugin and NetBeans team for guiding through the process.

I’d like to have a NetBeans co-bundle with WildFly for a complete seamless experience. Would you ?

When you think of Java EE 7, think about WildFly. That is the only open source application server that will be commercially supported with JBoss EAP!

NetBeans 8 and WildFly 8 Screencasts (Tech Tip #18)

techtip, wildfly, , ,

Wildfly_logo netbeans8-logo

Enjoy the short screencast on how to get started with WildFly 8 in NetBeans 8:

Emmanuel Hugonet (@ehsavoie) created the NetBeans plugin and maintains it. He also created a quick video that shows how to:

  • Configure and start WildFly 8 server
  • Run a Java EE 7 WebSocket sample on WildFly
  • Choose Maven profile to run tests
  • Type of resources shown by the plugin

Enjoy!

File the bugs here (use “WildFly” component).

Don’t forget a ton of Java EE 7 samples are available at github.com/javaee-samples/javaee7-samples.

WildFly 8, JDK 8, NetBeans 8, Java EE 7: Excellent combo for enterprise Java

java, wildfly, , ,

JDK 8 and NetBeans 8 was released Mar 18, 2014
WildFly 8 was released Feb 11, 2014
Java EE 7 was released Jun 12, 2013

Past 12 months have been really instrumental for Java community with all these very important releases.

java8-logonetbeans8-logo  Wildfly_logo  javaee-logo

Together, JDK 8 + NetBeans 8 + Java EE 7 +WildFly 8 make an excellent combination for building enterprise Java application.

JDK 8, Java EE 7, and WildFly 8 are also supported in Eclipse and IntelliJ as well. So you are not limited to just NetBeans 😉

I tried Java EE 7 hands-on lab with this combination and every thing worked seamlessly. Now I just need a pull request (issue #12) where the source code is using java.util.stream and Lambdas. Who is going to do it ? 😉

There are tons of new features in JDK 8, the main ones are:

  • Lambda Expressions allows you to express instances of single-method classes more compactly. In other words, it allows you to treat functionality as method, or code as data. Read more details in Venkat‘s excellent book on Functional Programming with Java or standard Java tutorial.
  • Default methods enable you to add new functionality to an interface. This ensures binary compatibility with code written for older versions of those interfaces. This is different from abstract methods as they do not have a method implementation. Read more details here.
  • Repeating annotations allows an annotation to be repeated over a declaration or type use. This is useful if the same annotation needs to be applied multiple times to a class or a method. Read more details here.
  • Method parameter names are now available using Reflection API (Parameter.getName()).
  • Functional-style programming using the newly added Stream API in  java.util.stream package.
  • New tools: jjs to invoke Nashorn engine and jdeps for class dependency analyzer
  • New Nashorn JavaScript engine
  • New Date-Time API (JSR 310)
  • Replacement of permgen with Metaspace (JEP 122) – -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize are replaced by -XX:MetaSpaceSize and -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize in java
  • Compact profiles

And there are a lot more!

WildFly 8 is Java EE 7 compliant, and in addition also provide tons of features:

  • High performance web server (Undertow)
  • Role Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Port reduction
  • “Core” distribution

Read the complete list here.

Remember that Java EE 7 mandates JDK 7 only, and so even though you can leverage all the runtime improvements made in the Java SE 8 platform but in order to have your application run on a Java EE 7 compliant application server, you may be restricted to JDK 7 only. For example, GlassFish 4 is not even tested on JDK 8. WildFly 8 has been running its test suite on JDK 8 regularly. We may even leverage some of the JDK 8 features in the near future.

No matter what, JDK 8 + WildFly 8 + NetBeans 8 + Java EE 7 together make a very compelling toolset for your enterprise Java. If your applications don’t work, then file a bug on WildFly JIRA.

NetBeans 8 and WildFly 8 (Tech Tip #6)

javaee, techtip, wildfly, ,

Announcing the availability of WildFly support in NetBeans 8 nightly builds!

Wildfly_logo

netbeans-dev-techtip6

Disclaimer: WildFly plugin provides very basic functionality as of now and is evolving rapidly to support broader feature set. It is purely for testing purpose at this time.

Many thanks to Emmanuel Hugonnet for contributing the plugin and constant support from NetBeans team, especially Geertjan Wielenga in making this possible.

How to get started ?

  1. Download NetBeans 8 nightly. Worked on existing NetBeans 7.4 as well, see instructions below.
  2. Go to “Tools”, “Plugins”, “Available Plugins”, search on “wildfly” to see the updated screen:wildfly-plugin--netbeans-techtip6click on “Install”. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
  3. In NetBeans, go to “Services”, right click on “Servers”, select “Add Server…” to see:wildfly-server-configure-techtip6Click on “Next>”.
  4. Install or build WildFly following Tech Tip #1. Click on “Browse…” next to “Server Location…” and select the location of WildFly. For example, I used “/Users/arungupta/workspaces/wildfly/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT” on my machine.wildfly-server-instance-techtip6

    Click on “Next>”.
  5. Take the defaults as shown:wildfly-instance-props-techtip6and click on “Finish”. Now you can see WildFly configured in NetBeans:

    wildfly-server-techtip6

  6. Right-click on the newly added server and select “Start”:wildfly-start-techtip6to see an output something like:

    “09:51:29,191 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015874: WildFly 8.0.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT “WildFly” started in 2039ms – Started 184 of 232 services (78 services are lazy, passive or on-demand)”

    in the output console.

That’s all it takes to configure WildFly 8 in NetBeans 8!

Trying to run a simple sample showed the following window:

netbeans-server-one-time-techtip6

I particularly like this feature as it does not “corrupt” my Maven files or generate any IDE-specific files.

Do you want to try running Java EE 7 samples/tests and hands-on lab on WildFly from NetBeans ? File plugin bugs at NetBeans Bugzilla and use “WildFly” component.

Note, although this plugin can be installed in NetBeans 8 out-of-the-box, but you can configure an additional Update Center in earlier versions of NetBeans and use “http://deadlock.netbeans.org/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz” URL. This is how I hacked my NetBeans 7.4 installation and added support for WildFly there.

Get your wheels churning and try your WildFly applications running from NetBeans 8.
