Happy to announce 4.4.2.AM2 (Developer Milestone 2) build for Eclipse Neon.

Downloads available at JBoss Tools 4.4.2 AM2.

What is New?

Full info is at this page. Some highlights are below.

OpenShift 3

Although our main focus is bug fixes, we continue to work on providing better experience for container based development in JBoss Tools and Developer Studio. Let’s go through a few interesting updates here and you can find more details on the What’s New page.

Common namespace template support

Common namespace was added but templates were still loaded from the hardcoded openshift namespace. They are now loaded from the configured common namespace (which still default to openshift)

User controlled hostname when creating routes

When an application is being deployed to Openshift, a route is optionally created if required by the user. Openshift/CDK used to create an xip.io based hostname. User can now set its own hostname. This allows for both changing the DNS to local IP provider (nip.io) or using you own enterprise DNS naming strategy.

The hostname can be accessed from the Services and Routing Settings page when deploying an application:

wizard new application hostname

Forge

Forge Runtime updated to 3.3.2.Final

The included Forge runtime is now 3.3.2.Final. Read the official announcement here.

Downloads available at JBoss Tools 4.4.2 AM1.

What is New?

Full info is at this page. Some highlights are below.

OpenShift 3

Although our main focus is bug fixes, we continue to work on providing better experience for container based development in JBoss Tools and Developer Studio. Let’s go through a few interesting updates here and you can find more details on the What’s New page.

Cluster common namespace

When looking for Openshift resources (builder images, templates), a common namespace is browsed. Earlier hardcoded openshift namespace is now configurable with default value openshift.

Please note that templates are still loaded from the òpenshift namespace and not the from configured common namespace, this will be fixed for the next release.

It can be accessed and modified through the connection extended properties:

Connection extended properties

CDK server using native terminal for better user interactions

The CDK server adapter now uses a native terminal that allows better interaction with the user. In the case credentials are not passed in the Vagrant environment, the user will be asked just as with the standard Vagrant CLI and in case of registration failures, retries will be performed.

First, make sure your CDK server adapter is configured not to pass credentials:

CDK editor

Then, start the CDK server adapter and a new terminal window will open, asking for registration:

Registration

If you answered y to the previous questions, then the terminal window will ask for username:

Username

Then the terminal window will ask for password:

Password

If the registration fails, then the terminal window will perform retries and ask again for username and password:

JBoss Tools 4.4.1 and Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 10.1 for Eclipse Neon are here waiting for you. Check it out!

devstudio10

Installation

JBoss Developer Studio comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it from our JBoss Products page and run it like this:

java -jar jboss-devstudio-<installername>.jar

JBoss Tools or Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) JBoss Developer Studio require a bit more:

This release requires at least Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) but we recommend using the latest Eclipse 4.6 Neon JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools" or "Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio".

For JBoss Tools, you can also use our update site directly.

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/stable/updates/

What is new?

Our main focus for this release was improvements for container based development and bug fixing.

Improved OpenShift 3 and Docker Tools

We continue to work on providing better experience for container based development in JBoss Tools and Developer Studio. Let’s go through a few interesting updates here.

Support for Container Labels

Users can now specify labels when running a container. The labels are saved in the launch configuration and can also be edited before relaunching the container.

Container Labels

Automatically detect known Docker daemon connections

When the Docker Explorer view is opened, the list of existing connections (saved from a previous session) is reloaded. In addition to this behaviour, the view will also attempt to find new connections using default settings such the 'unix:///var/run/docker.sock' Unix socket or the 'DOCKER_HOST', 'DOCKER_CERT_PATH' and 'DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY' environment variables. This means that by default, in a new workspace, if a Docker daemon is reachable using one of those methods, the user does not have to use the "New Connection" wizard to get a connection.

Extension point for Docker daemon connection settings

An extension point has been added to the Docker core plugin to allow for custom connection settings provisionning.

Support for Docker Compose

Support for Docker Compose has finally landed !

Users can select a docker-compose.yml file and start Docker Compose from the context menu, using the Run > Docker Compose launcher shortcut.

The Docker Compose process displays it logs (with support for text coloring based on ANSI escape codes) and provides a stop button to stop the underlying process.

Docker Compose

Also, as with the support for building and running containers, a launch configuration is created after the first call to Docker Compose on the selected docker-compose.yml file.

Docker Image Hierarchy View Improvements

The new Docker Image Hierarchy view not only shows the relationships between images (which is particularly interesting when an image is built using a Dockerfile), but it also includes containers based on the images in the tree view while providing with all relevant commands (in the context menu) for containers and images.

Docker Image Hierarchy View

Server templates can now be displayed / edited

Server templates are now displayed in the property view under the Templates tab:

property view template

You can access/edit the content of the template with the Edit command.

Events can now be displayed

Events generated as part of the application livecycle are now displayed in the property view under the Events tab (available at the project level):

property view event

You can refresh the content of the event with the Refresh command or open the event in the OpenShift web console with the Show In → Web Console command.

Volume claims can now be displayed

Volume claims are now displayed in the property view under the Storage tab (available at the project level):

property view storage1

You can create a new volume claim using a resource file like the following:

{
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "kind": "PersistentVolumeClaim",
    "metadata": {
        "name": "claim1"
    },
    "spec": {
        "accessModes": [ "ReadWriteOnce" ],
        "resources": {
            "requests": {
                "storage": "1Gi"
            }
        }
    }
}

If you deploy such a resource file with the New → Resource command at the project level, the Storage tab will be updated:

property view storage2

You can access/edit the content of the volume claim with the Edit command or open the volume claim in the OpenShift web console with the Show In → Web Console command.

Server Tools

QuickFixes now available in runtime detection

Runtime detection has been a feature of JBossTools for a long while, however, it would sometimes create runtime and server adapters with configuration errors without alerting the user. Now, the user will have an opportunity to execute quickfixes before completing the creation of their runtimes and servers.

JBIDE 15189 rt detect 1

To see this in action, we can first open up the runtime-detection preference page. We can see that our runtime-detection will automatically search three paths for valid runtimes of any type.

JBIDE 15189 rt detect 2

Once we click search, the runtime-detection’s search dialog appears, with results it has found. In this case, it has located an EAP 6.4 and an EAP 7.0 installation. However, we can see that both have errors. If we click on the error column for the discovered EAP 7.0, the error is expanded, and we see that we’re missing a valid / compatible JRE. To fix the issue, we should click on this item.

JBIDE 15189 rt detect 3

When we click on the problem for EAP 7, the new JRE dialog appears, allowing us to add a compatible JRE. The dialog helpfully informs us of what the restrictions are for this specific runtime. In this case, we’re asked to define a JRE with a minimum version of Java-8.

JBIDE 15189 rt detect 4

If we continue along with the process by locating and adding a Java 8 JRE, as shown above, and finish the dialog, we’ll see that all the errors will disappear for both runtimes. In this example, the EAP 6.4 required a JRE of Java 7 or higher. The addition of the Java 8 JRE fixed this issue as well.

JBIDE 15189 rt detect 5

Hopefully, this will help users preemptively discover and fix errors before being hit with surprising errors when trying to use the created server adapters.

Support for WildFly 10.1

The WildFly 10.0 Server adapter has been renamed to WildFly 10.x. It has been tested and verified to work for WildFly 10.1 installations.

Hibernate Tools

Hibernate Runtime Provider Updates

A number of additions and updates have been performed on the available Hibernate runtime providers.

New Hibernate 5.2 Runtime Provider

With final releases available in the Hibernate 5.2 stream, the time was right to make available a corresponding Hibernate 5.2 runtime provider. This runtime provider incorporates Hibernate Core version 5.2.2.Final and Hibernate Tools version 5.2.0.Beta1.

hibernate 5 2
Figure 1. Hibernate 5.2 is available
Other Runtime Provider Updates

The Hibernate 4.3 runtime provider now incorporates Hibernate Core version 4.3.11.Final and Hibernate Tools version 4.3.5.Final.

The Hibernate 5.0 runtime provider now incorporates Hibernate Core version 5.0.10.Final and Hibernate Tools version 5.0.2.Final.

The Hibernate 5.1 runtime provider now incorporates Hibernate Core version 5.1.1.Final and Hibernate Tools version 5.1.0.CR1.

Forge Tools

Added Install addon from the catalog command

From Forge 3.3.0.Final onwards it is now possible to query and install addons listed in the Forge addons page.

addon install from catalog

Forge Runtime updated to 3.3.1.Final

The included Forge runtime is now 3.3.1.Final. Read the official announcement here.

startup

Freemarker

Freemarker 2.3.25

Freemarker library included in the Freemarker IDE was updated to latest available version 2.3.25.

flth / fltx file extensions added

The new flth and fltx extensions have been added and associated with Freemarker IDE. flth stands for HTML content whereas fltx stands for XML content.

Overhaul of the plugin template parser

The parser that FreeMarker IDE uses to extract IDE-centric information (needed for syntax highlighting, related tag highlighting, auto-completion, outline view, etc.) was overhauled. Several bugs were fixed, and support for the newer template language features were added. Also, the syntax highlighting is now more detailed inside expressions.

Fixed the issue when the (by default) yellow highlighting of the related FTL tags shift away from under the tag as you type.

Showing whitespace, block selection mode

The standard "Show whitespace characters" and "Toggle block selection mode" icons are now available when editing a template.

Improved automatic finishing of FreeMarker constructs

When you type <#, <@, ${, #{ and <#-- the freemarker editor now automatically closes them.

When a FreeMarker exception is printed to the console, the error position in it is a link that navigates to the error. This has worked long ago, but was broken for quite a while.

Fixed auto-indentation

When hitting enter, sometimes the new line haven’t inherited the indentation of the last line.

Updated the "database" used for auto completion

Auto completion now knows all directives and "built-ins" up to FreeMarker 2.3.25.

What is next?

Having JBoss Tools 4.4.1 and Developer Studio 10.1 out we are already working on the next maintenance release for Eclipse Neon.1.

Enjoy!

Happy to announce AM3 (Developer Milestone 3) build for Eclipse Neon.

Downloads available at JBoss Tools 4.4.1 AM3.

A late bug has been discovered in the Docker Tools on the Windows platform. It prevents the Docker Explorer to be displayed and affects also Openshift users. This will be fixed in the next release of JBoss Tools. A workaround exists: after you install JBoss Tools, restart your Eclipse and run Help > Install new software > Work with: http://download.eclipse.org/linuxtools/updates-docker-nightly/ > select Docker Tooling > install. Restart when prompted.

JBoss Tools 4.4 and Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 10.0 for Eclipse Neon are here waiting for you. Check it out!

devstudio10

Installation

JBoss Developer Studio comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it from our JBoss Products page and run it like this:

java -jar jboss-devstudio-<installername>.jar

JBoss Tools or Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) JBoss Developer Studio require a bit more:

This release requires at least Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) but we recommend using the latest Eclipse 4.6 Neon JEE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled.

Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under "JBoss Tools" or "Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio".

For JBoss Tools, you can also use our update site directly.

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/stable/updates/

What is new?

Our main focus for this release was on adoption of Eclipse Neon, improvements for container based development and bug fixing. Eclipse Neon itself has a lot of new cool stuff but let me highlight just a few updates in both Eclipse Neon and JBoss Tools plugins that I think are worth mentioning.

JavaScript Development Tools 2.0

Red Hat team along with other contributers have been working hard for the last months on restarting JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT) project for Eclipse Neon. The updated tooling includes EcmaScript 2015 support, JSON editor, Node.js, grunt, gulp, bower and npm tools.

Here is a short video which demonstrates new features and enhancements of JavaScript Tools:

Improved OpenShift 3 and Docker Tools

We continue to work on providing better experience for container based development in JBoss Tools and Developer Studio. Let’s go through a few interesting updates here and you can find more details on the What’s New page.

Dockerfile Editor

The new Dockerfile editor provides users with content assist on the commands (ADD, COPY, RUN, etc.) as well as a customizable syntax highlighting.

Docker Editor

Deploy docker images to the CDK OpenShift registry

The New OpenShift Connection wizard supports setting a Docker registry URL in the advanced properties section. This allows you to push docker images to the given Docker registry via the Deploy Docker Image wizard, right before actually creating the OpenShift resources. The URL is automatically added if the connection has been created by the CDK server adapter.

deploy push docker image

New support for builder images

The New OpenShift Application wizard now supports builder images, on top of the existing template support.

builder support

Compared to regular templates, with the builder image-based workflow, users will be able to define:

  • git source url

  • build triggers

  • environment variables

  • data volumes

  • replicas

  • exposed service ports and routes

Create new resources

The OpenShift Explorer provides a New > Resource menu, that lets you create new OpenShift resources from an existing file, similar to the oc create -f some_resource.json command. Resource files can be local (from File System or Workspace), or remote, by providing a URL.

Scaling pods

It is possible to scale pods up and down, from the Service context menu in the OpenShift Explorer, or the Deployments and Deployment Configuration context menus in the Properties view.

scale up down

New EAP 7 quickstarts

Red Hat Central now lists quickstarts targeting the newly released Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application 7.0 server.

It is now possible to scale pods up and down, from the Service context menu in the OpenShift Explorer, or the Deployments and Deployment Configuration context menus in the Properties view. Scale > Up will spin up one more pod, Scale > Down will remove one pod. Scale > To…​ will open a pop-up dialog to let you set the amount of pods you want your OpenShift to spin up.

Updated JavaScript Tools

Our team worked hard for last month on rebooting the JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT) project which is part of Eclipse Web Tools. You can install updated JavaScript tooling directly from eclipse.org or using JBoss Tools Target Platform.

JavaScript Tools now support EcmaScript 2015. No false positive validation errors any more. Performance has been improved dramatically.

ES6 features on Editor

Node.js support now allows you to run and debug Node.js applications. Note: Node.js debugger is currently not available in JBoss Tools Target Platform and has to be installed directly from eclipse.org. It will be available in the next JBoss Tools version and will work OOTB in Developer Studio.

Here is a short video which demonstrates new features and enhancements of JSDT 2.0 release:

Next steps

While we wait for feedback on Alpha2, we are already working on the next JBoss Tools release for Eclipse Neon.

Enjoy!

JBoss Tools Integration Stack
Since JBoss Tools 4.3.0 we require Java 8 for the installation and use of all JBoss Tools, including the Integration Stack tooling. We still support developing and running applications using older Java runtimes. See more in Beta1 blog.

JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.3.0.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 9.0.0.GA

What’s an Integration Stack?

The Integration Stack for JBoss Developer Studio is a set of features and plugins for Eclipse that further enhances the IDE development functionality provided by JBoss Developer Studio in support of the following frameworks:

JBoss Fuse Development

  • Fuse Tooling - JBoss Fuse Development provides tooling for Red Hat JBoss Fuse, specifically for integrating and developing software components that work with Apache ServiceMix, ActiveMQ and Camel. It features the latest versions of the Fuse Data Transformation tooling, SwitchYard and access to the Fuse SAP Tool Suite.

  • SwitchYard - A lightweight service delivery framework providing full lifecycle support for developing, deploying, and managing service-oriented applications.

JBoss Business Process and Rules Development

JBoss Business Process and Rules Development plug-ins provide design, debug and testing tooling for developing business processes for Red Hat JBoss BRMS and Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite.

  • BPEL Designer - Orchestrating your business processes.

  • BPMN2 Modeler - A graphical modeling tool which allows creation and editing of Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams using graphiti.

  • Drools - A Business Logic integration Platform which provides a unified and integrated platform for Rules, Workflow and Event Processing including KIE.

  • jBPM6 - A flexible Business Process Management (BPM) suite.

JBoss Data Virtualization Development

JBoss Data Virtualization Development plug-ins provide a graphical interface to manage various aspects of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization instances, including the ability to design virtual databases and interact with associated governance repositories.

  • Modeshape - A distributed, hierarchical, transactional and consistent data store with support for queries, full-text search, events, versioning, references, and flexible and dynamic schemas. It is very fast, highly available, extremely scalable, and it is 100% open source.

  • Teiid Designer - A visual tool that enables rapid, model-driven definition, integration, management and testing of data services without programming using the Teiid runtime framework.

JBoss Integration and SOA Development

JBoss Integration and SOA Development plug-ins provide tooling for developing, configuring and deploying BRMS, SwitchYard and Fuse applications to Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works, Red Hat JBoss Fuse and Fuse Fabric containers, Apache ServiceMix, and Apache Karaf instances.

  • All of the Business Process and Rules Development plugins, plus…​

  • Fuse Apache Camel Tooling - A graphical tool for integrating software components that works with Apache ServiceMix, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel and the FuseSource distributions.

  • SwitchYard - A lightweight service delivery framework providing full lifecycle support for developing, deploying, and managing service-oriented applications.

SOA 5.x Development

*Please note that the plugins in this category have been deprecated.

  • JBoss ESB - An enterprise service bus for connecting enterprise applications and services.

  • jBPM3 - A flexible Business Process Management (BPM) Suite - JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 5.3.x compatible version.

All of these components have been verified to work with the same dependencies as JBoss Tools 4.3 and Developer Studio 9.
