I am using a fresh install of STS 3.8.3 and I am unable to add the JPA facet to an EJB project:
If I try to create a JPA project, I cannot find that option:
I am certain these used to be available in STS. What did I miss?
We removed those extensions from the default distribution because users reported severe issues (search for JPA Event Handler on SO). In order to avoid this we decided to remove those tools from the distribution and added them to the extension install, so that you can get them back into STS quite easily.
However, we can revisit that decision in the future, if those tools don't cause those issues anymore.
Upon further investigation I discovered that the Eclipse Web Tools Platform at eclipse update site http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/neon includes the following:
Why is this no longer configured in STS? That is really too bad and not a good decision in my opinion.
Go to Help -> Install New Software -> in the work with drop down , choose one with "https://download.eclipse.org/releases/*".
In the result you will be able to see Database Development.
Choose the database you wish to configure.

I am following hello world application of Amazon Web Services Simple Workflow Service. According to description #Activities annotation should have been able to generate two classes GreeterActivitiesClient and GreeterActivitiesClientImpl. But these classes has not been generated.
I have Enable annotation processing in project properties. I am using Eclipse Mars with Jdk 1.8. I have also installed AWS toolkit for eclipse, aspectj.
Can someone see where the problem is?
Some versions of Eclipse, (notably Mars and Neon), may fail to fetch the latest artifacts due to a bug in old versions of the Oomph plugin. To work around this issue:
Make sure that you’re using https://aws.amazon.com/eclipse/site.xml as the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse update site.
Delete the ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.p2/cache/ directory to remove cached content.
Install the latest version of Oomph (Eclipse Installer).

I am trying to add Eclipse Dali JPA integration and to specify Hibernate as the JPA implementation. I have gathered different instructions but am struggling with specifying the user library when configuring the project facet. The page here (http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Developer_Studio/4.0/html/Hibernate_Tools_Reference_Guide/dali_integration.html) shows an option that says Library Provided by Target Runtime but I don't have this option. I have User Library and Disable Library Configuration. I'd rather not download the hibernate jars and store them separately for eclipse configuration when I already have them specified in the project with maven. And the disable option leaves the configuration in error.
Anyone have any tips for getting that option or another suggested Hibernate/JPA configuration within Eclipse?
Thanks all.
If you are already doing library management with Maven and m2e, you should select Disable Library Configuration option. Yours is exactly the scenario that option was intended for. If you specify the errors you get when you follow this approach, someone may be able to help find the complete solution.
Alternatively, follow the User Library option and create a user library using the Hibernate jars you already have locally. There is no need to re-download them.
I am using weblogic worshop to develop my spring based application. Basically it takes lot of time to publish the application to weblogic server. Is there any way to find out what’s going on when eclipse try to build and deploy the project? Basically does it maintain any log file?
Thanks ,
Manoj
Weblogic does a stupid thing according to my experience. If you deploy some WAR, it extracts the libraries in it, and does some analysis in them. You can avoid this behaviour by removing the "static" (not changed by you during work) libraries from the war during development. After removal, add them to system classpath of the domain. It will publish and start a lot faster.
You will find better support for developing Spring applications for WebLogic Server if you migrate to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. Workshop is legacy software that is no longer being actively developed. Using Workshop is only necessary for those developing with the deprecated Apache Beehive framework.

OEPE includes a much newer publisher implementation, so you may find your issue resolved. If not, please post to OEPE forum for direct access to people who can answer you question.
Cannot post a forum link, but you can find it from the above URL or via Google.
Thanks Konstantin and Gabor for replying to my question.
Konstantin - I am using Oracle Weblogic workshop 10.3 and I am restricted to use this IDE only.I guess it has OEPE correct me if I am wrong.Also I tried the FastSwap action but everytime I save the changes to a java file the server says -'Publish' and I have to republish the entire application which is taking lot of time.
Thanks,

I have an existing, fully functional Spring web application based on Spring 2.5.6 - developed using SpringSource Tool Suite 2.1.0.SR1.
Because I'd like to use REST I decided to upgrade to Spring 3.0.0.M4. After editing the dependencies in pom.xml and changing my code to reflect the API changes in Spring 3.0 I tried to publish my web app to a local server (SpringSource tc - a Tomcat derivate).
The result is an almost empty web app folder and therefore a non-functional app. The app's folder only contains WEB-INF/lib with all libraries required by the Maven dependencies.
After realising that something's broken, I created a new Spring MVC project (based on the default 2.5.6) and published it to the same server. No problems. I tried to adapt my project's files (.settings/*, .project, .classpath, .springBeans), but this didn't change anything.
I'm pretty lost right now. My guess is that STS doesn't handle 3.0 apps correctly. Any suggestions?
PS: I don't want to revert to 2.5 if it's not absolutely necessary. I don't need STS and tc so I don't have a problem using other tools, but it worked fine so far.
I run into this all the time using Eclipse Galileo and m2eclipse 0.9.8 and Tomcat with WTP. I think it is m2eclipse that is the culprit. The problem seems worse after switching from Ganymede. The work around is to run mvn to create the war and then copy the war contents from "target" to WTP's "wtpwebapps" directory. You can conveniently find this horribly long path by double clicking the server in the Servers view, and choosing "Open Launch Configuration" from there click on Arguments(?) tab I think and copy the catalina.home java property that is defined as an argument there.
The problem vanished with newer versions of STS. Additionally my development environment changed a bit since I posted this question, so I can't really tell what caused the problem.
For me, it looked like a weird hiccup inside STS.
Spring Tool Suite 2.1.0 claims partial support for Spring 3.0, though not for the REST features. According to the release, future releases will add full support. From the release statement:
Features
Support for milestones of Spring 3.0 including XML editing and validation, support for #Configuration and #Bean annotations
Future
Complete Spring 3.0 support including tools for developing RESTful web applications
Try deploying your app to embedded jetty. 'mvn jetty:run' with help you confirm if that there's nothing wrong with your build (that all the right manifests and deps are in place)
I have a running dynamic web project in Eclipse (Java EE + Maven + Spring). I am at the point where I need to integrate a persistence layer and want to use Hibernate with a MySql database.
I am wondering what plugins would be useful for me at this point? For Hibernate should I install hibernate tools or is it not necessary? Are then any plugins that are most widely use for connecting / exploring database connections that would be appropriate for the type of project I am working on? Thanks.
Hibernate Tools is definitely a nice plugin (that provides wizards, a nice console useful to setup the HQL queries, a mapping editor, etc). I'm actually tempted to say: why not using it? I use it in conjunction with the database support provided by the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (that is included in the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers or available via the update manager). In your case, I would maybe just consider using SpringSource Tools Suite as base instead of a vanilla Eclipse.
Update: As reminded by BalusC in a comment, the Hibernate Tools also include a database reverse engineering tool which is maybe the most powerful feature. I should have mentioned it, this is now fixed.
You can look at http://fast-code.sourceforge.net/ as well. You can create FooService and FooServiceImpl and the configurations just by typing foo. It has nice way to create unit tests as well.
