I tried to do remote debug of a Bluemix application in Eclipse. I enabled application debug. Then I did debug to Server but my Bluemix server didn't appear in the list. A local Liberty server appears and I can debug on that but not on my Bluemix server. I tried to create a new server with the same address in the dialogue but then it complains that the server and space already exists. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

Liberty remote debugging is working fine with Eclipse plugin, so I suppose you are doing something wrong.
Have you successfully installed Bluemix Eclipse tool?
Check you followed the steps reported in this guide
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/manageapps/eclipsetools/eclipsetools.html
And then follow these steps to enable remote debugging.
https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2015/09/25/remote-debug-java-applications-on-bluemix/
The latest March 2016 refresh release has addressed the general debug mode issues, including the problem with IBM JDK in debug mode. You'll need to update both the IBM Eclipse Tools for Bluemix and also the Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry (see https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/#asset/tools-IBM_Eclipse_Tools_for_Bluemix for detailed installation instructions). Therefore, I would recommend to do a fresh install with Mars SR2 JEE Package to see if the debug problem is resolved.

I have been having issues on my project on Eclipse. It keeps on showing me the error message "The selection cannot be run on any server".
I have already checked the project facets and Dynamic Web Module, Java, Javascript, Websphere Web (Coexistence and Extended) are checked.
I have Websphere checked on runtimes as well.
Websphere settings are fine as well.
There are no errors on the project.
It runs on Tomcat without issues, but when I try to run it on WebSphere Application Server I get an error.
When I click on Server > Add & Remove > I am not able to find my project there.
I have already reinstalled Websphere.
I have already researched about the issue and mostly have done the steps in there.
I'm hoping someone could help me and enlighten as to why this is happening. Thank you!
I'm trying to customize the Liberty setup, following the instructions from this post:
"Custom Liberty server.xml configurations in IBM Bluemix", see:
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2015/01/modify-liberty-server-xml-configurations-ibm-bluemix/
In order to modify the Liberty server features, I'd like to replace the automatic generation of the configuration file by a customized server configuration, which according to the instructions is called "Liberty packaging server".
In the Eclipse Neon IDE, I've already installed two plugin's, the Bluemix Tool as well as the Liberty Development Plugin. At the server tab, I'm right clicking the active Blumix server, but no option for "packaging server" is displayed at the menu. The default "push" option is working fine.
At the Eclipse IDE, is there a software component missing to create and publish a customized server package (beta + features) for Liberty? How can I run a customized packing without command line tools, using Eclipse?
There are two main ways to publish a packaged server in Bluemix:
You have (or create) a Liberty server instance that represents the server. For details on how to create a Liberty server, see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/t_creating_server.html. Once you have the Liberty server created in Eclipse, you can just add the Liberty server to the Bluemix server on the Servers view and it will package the server for you during the publish operation.
You already have an existing packaged server zip file in the workspace that you want to publish. Then, you can just right click on the zip file and do a Run As > Run on Server.
For details, you can refer to https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/manageapps/eclipsetools/eclipsetools.html#packagedserversupport
The first method is usually preferred since you can continue to update the applications and also the server configuration file and do incremental update on the application by the publish operation.
In Eclipse, if you want to publish whole server to the Bluemix follow these steps:
stop your local Liberty server
in Eclipse in Servers view, grab the local Liberty server and drag it to the Bluemix one. It will publish whole server with its config.
Check this page for more details - Deploying apps with IBM Eclipse Tools for Bluemix
Instead of right clicking on the Bluemix server, you need to right click on your Liberty server definition.
How does one deploy a web app from Eclipse Mars to a local install of IBM Websphere Application Server Developer 8.5 ?
I installed the app server from IBM's Installation Manager, upon completion it says its location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01
I tested the app itself using the "First Steps" window which popped up after install, and it looks like it is running fine.
Now, I want to test creating a simple hello world web application in Eclipse Mars, and be able to deploy it to this installed Websphere instance and be able to debug (stop at breakpoints). However, I can't seem to figure this part out.
When I go to my Servers tab in Eclipse and attempt to add a Websphere server, I didn't have any options. So I started downloading some IBM Websphere Developer Tools that I could find. I managed to now have these options for adding server:
"WebSphere Application Server Liberty"
"WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5"
I tried using both, but they don't seem to be compatible with my installed version of WebSphere, because I keep getting the error of "The WebSphere Application Server traditional installation directory is not correct." when I try to plug in the Installation directory.
I suspect I should have a separate option for
"WebSphere Application Server developer V8.5"
or such, however no matter what I search for online, in the Eclipse marketplace, in the Eclipse sites, I can't find anything to install that gives me that option.
You have to use "WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5" and point it to the installation root not the profile root - so to C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer in your case.
For the future, it is not recommended to install WebSphere in the Program Files (x86) folder, I'd suggest something simpler like c:\IBM.
I used the below link Eclipse Mars WAS Plugin . Not sure it still works. For Oxygen working version use Eclipse Oxygen WAS Plugin
I've set up a VM with a wildfly instance.
I'd like to be able to debug my web application from eclipse.
I've took a look on the web, however, I've not been able to figure out how to do it.
Any ideas?
Install JBoss Tools into Eclipse IDE, and then you can use the features described in http://tools.jboss.org/blog/2015-03-17-debugging-an-externally-launched-wildfly.html
I'm currently using Eclipse Mars on OS X to build a PHP based application which requires a web server for a form submission. However, upon attempting to add Tomcat 7.0 as a server, the server list is empty (shown below).
I've been following several tutorials for setting up and configuring a Tomcat server and each one says to place the extracted Tomcat folder in the Eclipse workspace directory so they'll be detected when adding them in Eclipse. The Apache Tomcat folder is in the workspace directory but it still isn't being detected. I've tried reinstalling Eclipse and deleting any duplicate files but I keep getting the same result. How can I properly set up and configure an Apache Tomcat server in Eclipse Mars?
You can tell it about the Tomcat installation using the Server Runtime Environments preference page.
If Tomcat isn't already a known server type, you might need to install a few more. The WTP FAQ has instructions.
All of those tutorials are wrong. You do want to download a copy of Tomcat from Apache so it has the expected layout when Eclipse looks for the jars needed to launch it, but there's no reason to actually put it in the workspace.
I am also using Eclipse neon and I faced the same problem and the answer was available in a question Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments in the same site already posted
Of the Available Answers the below steps Worked for me:
1.Help-->Eclipse Marketplace
2.Type Tomcat in search box and choose the Option JST Server Adapters(Apache Tomcat,...) and click on Install
3.Then complete the Simple installation steps and after installation Eclipse prompts for a restart accept and then you can see the Target Run time updated with Tomcat server
