Question

I’m using Eclipse Juno and want to test my Java web app in JBoss AS 7. How do I configure Eclipse so that it starts JBoss AS 7 and deploys the war? Also remote debugging should work. It seems I can’t use JBoss Tools as they are only released for the previous Eclipse versions (Indigo and Helios).

Any pointers?

Answer 1

It seems that the current stable releases of JBoss Tools supports Eclipse Indigo (3.7.2) and Helios (3.6.x) as detailed here :

Is there a Beta Update site for Juno ?

This page has the details of the update site for Juno :

Instructions will be posted after the first Juno-compatible milestone
is available.

Until then, just point your Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) installation at this
site to install the latest nightly build. Note that there is no
guarantee of quality with a nightly, nor do we guarantee it won’t set
your computer on fire.

Update site : JBoss Tools – Core – Nightly Build Update Site

It bears repeating, that the above is unstable at the moment.

Stability of JBoss Tools Beta for Juno ?

From this page:

Since the first version of Eclipse Juno is arriving soon it is worth
mentioning that JBoss Tools from its updatesite can be installed on
top of Juno.

It is though not guaranteed everything works, we know that especially
Hibernate Dali/JPT integration have issues since here the API has
changed greatly.

But if you are a Juno early-adopter then do please try run JBoss Tools
on it and if you find issues let us know in the forum or on JIRA.
