JBoss 4.2 server adapter for RAD 7 or Eclipse 3.2.1

April 06, 2009

Everyone are working and having fun with JBoss 4.2. Many people are busy migrating applications from Websphere to JBoss but they got use to working with RAD 7. So they are stuck because they cannot setup JBoss 4.2 as a server in RAD which is based on Eclipse 3.2.1.

You cannot upgrade to latest JST server adapter for JBoss servers because the file format is not supported in Eclipse 3.2.x / RAD 7.

So here is the solution for you – our home made migrated server adapter for JBoss 4.2 to work with RAD 7 and Eclipse 3.2.1 (if you have to).

You may want to backup stuff during this procedure by archiving deleted directories or the whole eclipse / SDP07 directories.

Installation procedure:

1. Extract the contents of the server adapter archive from this post to the eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss…… directory (or IBM/SDP07/plugins/org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss) and overwrite the contents

2. Make sure that RAD / Eclipse are shut down and delete the following directories in eclipse/configuration:

1. org.eclipse.core.runtime

2. org.eclipse.osgi

Deleting this will reset Eclipse / RAD plugin state cache and will reread the new server definitions adding JBoss 4.2 to your tool set

The magic is that newer file format is using wildcards to set the server’s classpath and the older format does not support that.

Enjoy!

Very useful post and adapter. I am using JBoss 4.2.2GA for EJB3 and found that with this adapter I get the following error while adding a server:
Missing classpath entry \client\FastInfoset.jar

Any idea how I can make changes to create server definition for 4.2.2 version?

Thanks for your help.

You need to add it to definitions in jboss42.serverdef. Look for the section – classpath id=”jboss.project”.
