I created a multi-module-maven project called mission-man.
After right clicking on mission-man-ear or mission-man-web > Run As > Run on Server, the welcome page welcome.xhtml is displayed with success.
My problem is: I'd like to display the welcome page with another method which is showing welcome.xhtml after drag and drop the mission-man-ear on wildfly.
In other words, I'm looking to show the welcome page welcome.xhtml automatically after drag and drop the ear project on the server.
Have you please any idea about solving my problem ?. Any help will be so appreciated.
Eclipse is open source, and JBoss Tools (assuming you're using it) is open source.
Therefore you can:
learn SWT
checkout the code for Eclipse and JBoss Tools
figure out how they work
figure out how to add the drag n drop functionality that you want to the existing code
modify the Eclipse and/or JBoss Tools code to suit
I am used to work with rails locally where I can use any text editor I please while I have the server running. If I make changes to a file Webrick, it will pick it up and I am able to see the changes on the page.
Can I do this with eclipse?
I am using Atom for html editing but every time I save the changes and reload the page, the changes are not done. Any ideas?
Is your project an Eclipse Web project associated with a server in the Eclipse Servers view? If so, double-click on the server and you'll be able to tweak a few thing. The interesting option would be Automatically publish when resources change under Publishing.
PS: if you're using Java Enterprise or JBoss technologies, you can add JBoss Tools on top of your Eclipse IDE, it features some features and default settings that should make things simpler for you.
I've found the answer by going to eclipse in Preferences > General > Workspaces > Refresh using native hooks or polling
This way I am able to edit html files with Atom. Hope it helps someone
Question for reference: eclipse, refresh files edited by external editor
My company does not allow me to upload apache tomcat from the official website . They told me that I already have it as a "plug in " in Eclipse . It's sort of packaged . So , anyway I could not find a startup.bat file anywhere .
I have the following folder on my computer that presumably contains apache tomcat somehow installed there. I am not sure whether i have a jboss . Here is the folder
If I go to the jre folder there is a servertool.exe . It looks like this
I am not sure how I can start apache tomcat . I mean I am not allowed to upload the zip file directly form the website, otherwise I could have used the startup.bat . . . I have never encountered a situation like this . I do not have a regular apache tomcat folder .
I tried localhost:8080 no result
How can I start working with it ?
Thanks
Eclipse does not ship with Tomcat. It integrates very nicely with it, though, after you install Tomcat. These instructions are for Eclipse Kepler SR1; other Eclipse versions are similar. There are third-party plugins that do this too, but the native plugin works nicely. Also, I'm not sure, but pretty sure, that you need the "Java EE IDE" version of Eclipse, not just regular Eclipse for Java. The steps:
1) Install Tomcat from the ZIP file (which just means extracting the ZIP to somewhere like c:\tomcat)
2) In Eclipse, choose Preferences from the Window menu; in the search box, type "runtime", then click Runtime Environments under the Server category (if you don't see this, you may not be running Eclipse Java EE; again, not sure if "regular" Eclipse for Java is enough).
3) Click the "Add" button and go through the process of telling Eclipse about where your Tomcat server is (i.e., it's where you just installed it to).
4) Create a Dynamic Web Project for your web-app (regular Java projects won't work; if your code is already in a regular project, migrate it into a Dynamic Web Project).
5) From the Window menu, choose Show View, then Other, then type "servers" and double-click Servers.
6) In The Servers pane, right-click anywhere in the pane and choose New, then Server. Follow the instructions to create a new Server that uses the Tomcat runtime you just created in Eclipse. When you're done, you'll have a Tomcat server listed in the Servers pane.
7) Not it's time to add your Dynamic Web Project to the list of web-apps that this server (that is, this Tomcat) knows about. So, right-click on your Tomcat server in the Servers pane, and choose Add and Remove. In the dialog that opens up, click Add All, then Finish.
8) Start Tomcat by clicking the Debug icon above the Servers pane (it looks like a green bug). Load http://localhost:8080/ (or http://localhost:8080/yourappname depending on your config) and you're done. (You can also run Tomcat by clicking the Run icon -- instead of Debug -- but one of the big reasons to run Tomcat from within Eclipse is that you get to use Eclipse's debugging functionality.)
I've moved to Aptana from DW (mainly to get better Phonegap/Android integration). I'm using Aptana integrated into Eclipse (i.e. installed Eclipse and then added Aptana).
I have two questions.
How can I configure Aptana/Eclipse to copy files to my local development server when I want to test? I can clearly do this in the filesystem outside the IDE, but would like it inside on a button or menu.
How can I configure the process to use, for example, the Google closure tools for js and css as part of my build/deployment process? I'd like to automatically minify the js and/or be able to use the css extensions offered (variables).
I get the feeling that all this should be possible since Eclipse is so configurable, but I don't know where to start. Would Ant do this for me? How?
Would appreciate some pointers.
Thanks
Abo
I can answer your first question.
If you have the Aptana plug-in installed, you will have an option on your right-click menu titled "Deploy". Expanding the deploy setting will reveal the option to "Run Web Deployment Wizard...". From here, if you are using a web server as mentioned, you will probably want to choose the FTP/SFTP/FTPS option. Fill in the form with your servers information and be sure to run a test to make sure things are working properly.
I always check the "Automatically sync my changes with the remote site" box and then select the "Automatically sync in both directions" radio button. This will automatically deploy my current file to my web-server upon a save.
You may also want to only select the "Automatically sync from my machine to remote site", the reason I choose both ways is because I sometimes work from different machines and it helps me keep things in sync. A little tweaking and it should save you a lot of time and effort!
[Using Indigo Release 1, and Aptana Studio 3]
Aptana don't include support for "Google Closure", you can instead use "Eclipse" or "WebStorm".

Im using Eclipse Galileo, and have configured it for Apache Tomcat . I have added Apache Tomcat 6.0 to Windows->Server->Runtime Environments, with the following settings:
Tomcat Installation Directory - C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.24\apache-tomcat-6.0.24
JRE - Workbench Default JRE (This points to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6)
Now, I create a Dynamic Web Project, and add a JSP file to it. But, when I run the project I get the following error:
The Tomcat server configuration at \Servers\Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost-config is missing. Check the server for errors.
Any way to fix this?
Probably, you have some problems with your server's configuration.
Follow these steps to remove and create a new one, it might help you.
In Eclipse
1. Window -> Show view -> Servers (If you cannot see it, you might need to choose Others -> Server)
2. From Server view -> Delete the server which has problems.
3. Right click -> New -> Server : to create a new one
In my case, after new server was created, I get rid of this "localhost-config is missing"
I faced the same problem once. THe reason for this is that even though the server is available, the config files are missing. You can see the server at Windows -> Show view -> Servers. Their configuration files can be seen at Project Explorer -> Servers. For some reason this second mentioned config files were missing.
I simply deleted the existing server and created a new one with this the config files were also created and the problem was solved!
Similar solution is given at here by Emertana EM
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/juli/logging/LogFactory
In Eclipse Neo
1. Window -> Show view -> Servers
2. Right click on server -> choose Properties
3. From General Tab -> Switch Location
As Yoni already mentioned, you probably deleted the project named "Servers" from your Project Explorer. If config files for the server still present on a file system, the quickest way to restore it will be Right Click in Project Explorer->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace, then select the root dir where Servers dir located, set checkbox near "Servers" and finally click Finish. If everything works as expected, you should see the 'Servers' project added to the Project Explorer view and your old config files will be there. Finally, save the tomcat configuration which you had open. You can startup your Tomcat server without errors now.
From project explorer ,just make sure that Servers is not closed
You need to define the server instance in the Servers view.
In the box at the right bottom, press the Servers tab and add the server there. You by the way don't necessarily need to add it through global IDE preferences. It will be automagically added when you define it in Servers view. The preference you've modified just defines default locations, not the whole server instance itself. If you for instance upgrade/move the server, you can change the physical location there.
Once defining the server in the Servers view, you need to add the newly created server instance to the project through its Server and Targeted runtime preference.
If you're not too attached to your current workspace you can create a new workspace, follow BalusC's steps for server creation, and recreate your project in the new workspace.
I got the same error after installing Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers(Juno) but using the workspace of a much older Eclipse installation. When I created a new workspace I was able to get my Tomcat server running without this error.
Did you, by any chance, deleted stuff from your workspace, or moved it around?
When you create a server for the first time, either globally or through the project's "run on server" settings, Eclipse creates a project in the Servers view, as BalusC pointed out. Eclipse stores this server inside your workspace, in a project called Servers. The project needs to be open for tomcat to run.
(If you want, you can store the server settings elsewher. You can right click and open the server instance from the Servers view and configure various parameters and locations)
This happens when Eclipse shuts down incorrectly - delete the server and then re-create it again.
Remove the server from IDE and install again to it.
In my case, the server list was empty for Apache in "Run Configurations" when I opened
Run > Run Configurations
I fixed this by creating a server in the Servers Panel as in other answers:
Window -> Show view -> Servers
Right click -> New -> Server : to create a new one
this worked for me
In the Server's tab in Eclipse, Stop the Tomcat server
Right-click the server and select "Clean..."
Right-click the server again and select "Clean Tomcat Work Directory..."
In the Eclipse, select the top-level menu option, Project > Clean ...
Be sure your project is selected and click Ok
Restart Eclipse
4th Step is most important.
Go to Servers remove the existing server by clicking delete.
Click the blue link to launch the server.
Set a new runtime environment.
Close the Eclipse and launch it again.
Boom it works!
