I always install Glassfish Tools using Eclipse Marketplace or just downloading additional adapters in Eclipse Servers > New > Server.
For some reason, when moving from Eclipse Luna SR1 to SR2, the new plugin doesn't install the adapter (the "New Server" window doesn't shows Glassfish as an option), and when trying to manually download the Glassfish adapter, clicking at Download additional server adapters..., the Glassfish adapter is not shown.
Is there any bug in this version?
Something has changed in Oracle that the plugin is not available?
Make sure that you are running Eclipse with Java 8. The latest version of GF Tools for Eclipse requires Java 8 to run. You can still compile your projects with an earlier version of Java, if that's necessary.
To check the version of Java that you are running, go to Help -> About -> Installation Details -> Configuration.
To force Eclipse to use a particular JRE install, edit eclipse.ini file and add the following two lines at the start of the file:
-vm
[path-to-jre]

I am trying to get GlassFish server working on my Eclipse Luna (with WTP installed).
However, I do not have a GlassFish Server option in the Download Additional Server Adapters there:
Also, when I try to download a Mojarra library for my JSF project, I don't have an option to install GlassFish either:
How should I install GlassFish server and tools on my Eclipse Luna?
You should install this plugin. Brought up by a simple google search of glassfish plugin eclipse luna
I was facing same problem and found below steps as the solution by installing pulgin..hope this will help:
install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) from eclipse market place which includes Glassfish support for eclipse.
And remember that when you are installing J2EE SDK you will get the Glassfish in it. you don't need it separately.
And eclipse required plugins to be installed for glasssfish.
Instructions for installing Plugins:
Open Help menu > select Eclipse Market Place.
Write OEPE in search box > select Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse from the List and Press Install button.
After installing this plugins when you choose from server, GlassFish server option will automatically be in the list if you have installed J2ee jdk.
Change your jdk version to jdk8.. it worked for me when I upgraded to 8.
EDIT 2014-02-07: Eclipse Luna is here, and support for Tomcat 8 is included in the bundled WTP : ) Happy days!
Tomcat 8 is still in development, but you can get it here. Now there is a RC version on the main Apache Tomcat page. Update 2/27/14: 8 is released now, and adapters built for WTP, just not integrated into eclipse bundles yet. Soon!
In Eclipse Kepler though, there is no supported adapter in the add server list for Tomcat 8. the Tomcat 7 adapter doesn't work, and it doesn't look like there's a new extension for it to download in the "Install new Extension" dialog.
Is my only option to get it (Tomcat 8) running locally outside of Eclipse and maybe hook a remote debugger into it for stepping through code? Will that even work for Eclipse Kepler + Tomcat 8? IntelliJ IDEA 12 couldn't do it in the 30 minutes of time I put into that path.
If you're wondering why I'm trying to do this at all, I'm playing around with Spring 4.0.0.M1 and 4.0.0.M2 WebSocket stuff. They (per Rossen Stoyanchev's Spring 4.0 blog post and examples) use JSR-356, which is implemented in Tomcat 8, theoretically to be back-ported at some point to Tomcat 7.
An answer to the broader question of "How can I easily get a development environment going for Spring 4 WebSocket support?" would be nice, but it would also still be nice to know how to plug in unsupported web servers to Eclipse.
Cheers,
E
**Update 8/7/13 - Rossen Stoyanchev updated the Spring 4.0.0.M2 blog and added some jpda wisdom and shared that yeah, he's using remote debugging:
That said, it's not very hard to debug with Tomcat 8 inside Eclipse. Just change the last line in bin/startup.sh to be (note the addition of "jpda"):
exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" jpda start "$#"
Inside Eclipse create a remote debugging configuration for localhost port 80, launch it after starting Tomcat, and you can put breakpoints in the source code.
Thanks Rossen!
**Update 9/29/13 - Eclipse Kepler SR1 just arrived, but alas! No WTP support for Tomcat 8. Tomcat 8 is up to RC3.
**Updates 12/5/13
Blog url fix.
Tomcat 8 up to RC5.
Bug to track WTP fix in Eclipse to support Tomcat 8 HERE.
IntelliJ IDEA new version 13 says it now supports Tomcat 8. Haven't tried yet personally.
UPDATE: Eclipse Mars EE and later have native support for Tomcat8. Use this only if you have an earlier version of eclipse.
The latest version of Eclipse still does not support Tomcat 8, but you can add the new version of WTP and Tomcat 8 support will be added natively. To do this:
Download the latest version of Eclipse for Java EE
Go to the WTP downloads page, select the latest version (currently 3.6), and download the zip (under
Traditional Zip Files...Web App Developers). Here's the current link.
Copy the all of the files in features and plugins directories of the downloaded WTP into the corresponding Eclipse directories in your Eclipse folder (overwriting the existing files).
Start Eclipse and you should have a Tomcat 8 option available when you go to deploy.
I follow Jason's step, but not works.
And then I find the WTP Update site http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/.
Help -> Install new software -> Add > WTP:http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ -> OK
Then Help -> Check for update, just works, I don't know whether Jason's affect this .
The only thing the eclipse plugin is checking is the tomcat version inside:
catalina.jar!/org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties
I replaced the properties file with the one in tomcat7 and that fixed the issue for eclipse
In order to be able to deploy the spring-websockets sample app you need to edit the following file in eclipse:
.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
And change the web version to 2.5
<installed facet="jst.web" version="2.5"/>
This should be a comment under the accepted answer, but I don't have 50 reputation yet.
At http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
I first selected Released 3.5.2, which like others did not work for me.
Then I picked Integration 3.6.0, and saw Tomcat 8 for New Project of Dynamic Web Project.
I have tried below and it worked for me.
In eclipse go to Help->Eclipse Marketplace
Type JST extension in search box.
Install JSP Adapters for Luna
Restart the eclispe
You should be able to see Tocmat 8 server while adding new server.
In addition to #Jason's answer I had to do a bit more to get my app to run.
Download & unzip Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (Note the EE edition)
Download & unzip Eclipse's Web Tools Platform Stable (Milestone) 3.6+
Overwrite the two folders in the Eclipse IDE, with the WTP folder(s) (features & plugins folders)
Download and unzip Tomcat 8
In eclipse new -> other -> server -> Tomcat 8 (choose the unzipped location)
If you get a 404, click the Tomcat 8 in the Servers view -> Server Locations -> Change to Use Tomcat installation, and change the Deploy path: to webapps *
(If you can't edit this, delete any published webapps)
To add the Tomcat 9.0 (Tomcat build from the trunk) as a server in Eclipse.
Update the ServerInfo.properties file properties as below.
server.info=Apache Tomcat/#VERSION#
server.number=#VERSION_NUMBER#
server.built=#VERSION_BUILT#
server.info=Apache Tomcat/7.0.57
server.number=7.0.57.0
server.built=Nov 3 2014 08:39:16 UTC
Build the tomcat server from trunk and add the server as tomcat7 instance in Eclipse.
ServerInfo.properties file location : \tomcat\java\org\apache\catalina\util\ServerInfo.properties
The latest version of Springsource STS (3.6) supports Tomcat 8. It is based on eclipse Luna 4.4 and supports Java 8. Have at it!
Alternatively we can use eclipse update site (Help -> Install New Features -> Add Site (urls below) -> Select desired Features).
For Luna: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/luna
For Kepler: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/kepler
For Helios: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios
For older version: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
Downloaded Eclipse Luna and installed WTP using http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/luna
Downloaded Tomcat 8 and configured new server in Eclipse. I am able to setup tomcat 8 now in Eclipse luna
If you have untarred your own version of tomcat v8 with a root user into a custom directory (linux) then the default permissions on the TOMCATROOT/lib directory do not allow normal user access.
Eclipse will not be able to see the catalina.jar to check the version. So no amount of fiddling aorund with the server.properties will help!
just add chmod u+x lib/ to allow normal user access to the libs.
So the situation is like this ...I am having "Eclipse Indigo for Java Developers"....
and now i need to develop some web applications(dynamic web projects)..so i went to "Help" in eclipse menu :
Help > Install new software
and downloaded the whole bundle "Web,XML,JavaEE and OSGi Enterprise Development"...
but after that too there is no JavaEE perspective in eclipse..only java perspective..
I have checked in "Other" section too of perspective..but unable to find it..
What am i doing wrong here ??
I am on windows 7 ,64 bit and running android-sdk/tools perfectly !!
Unless you have a reason to stay on Indigo, you could just download and install the Juno version of "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads)
Keep your existing workspace (make a backup of it if you want). Install eclipse (unzip). Start eclipse and point it to your existing workspace.
If you installed plugins for eclipse Indigo, you will need to install them again for the Juno version.
Question as stated in the title: how to install the GlassFish Server Adapter on Eclipse Helios 3.6?
Eclipse Helios 3.6
At the time of writing this (07/26/2010), there are in theory two ways to install the GlassFish Server adapter: via the Eclipse Marketplace or via an update site.
Update: As mentioned by Thorbjørn in a comment, the adapter is now (09/24/2010) available in the Additional server adapters dialogue (the "normal way").
New Server
There are several ways to do this but one ways is to right-click in the Server view, select New > Server then click the Download additional server adapters link and select the GlassFish adapter.
Marketplace
Go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace... and search for "glassfish". Then click on the Install button of the GlassFish Java EE Application Server Plugin for Eclipse and follow the steps.
Update site
Go to Help → Install New Software, Add the following temporary1 update site: http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios. Be sure to uncheck Group items by category and you should see the Oracle GlassFish Server Tools as shown below:
Click on Next and follow the steps.
1 The GlassFish plugin is being moved to the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) and will be available at http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/helios/wtp in the future (see Bug 312912).
The problem mentioned above is actually not specific to the GlassFish plugin and is not platform specific. The issue is a p2 bug in Eclipse 3.6 when using a shared install (which is the root cause of the problem) as I discovered after reading this other question on SO and the Bug 322929. The problem is related to a p2 bug which is fixed in Eclipse 3.6 SR1 and after installing Eclipse 3.6 SR1 RC4, things are now indeed working as expected. Yeah!
Eclipse Helios 3.6 M6
With the Eclipse 3.6 M6 Java EE bundle, if you try to install the GlassFish v3 server adapter via the New Server dialog and then click on the Download Additional server adapters, Eclipse contacts remote sites but fail at showing any adapter:
This issue is actually captured by Bug 305636. Using the Update Site instead of the New Server Wizard allows to workaround the issue:
Install a new Eclipse Helios M6 (get the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers package).
Install the latest GlassFish server adapter, today that is 1.0.52:
Open Help > Install New Software
Add the GlassFish update site URL: https://ajax.dev.java.net/eclipse
Install the GlassFish Java EE 5, Java EE 6 plugin
Restart when prompted
Open the New > Server wizard and add your GlassFish v3 Java EE 6 server.
I get the following when I try this:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: GlassFish Java EE 5, Java EE 6 1.0.54 (com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv.feature.feature.group 1.0.54)
Missing requirement: GlassFish Java EE 5, Java EE 6 1.0.54 (com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv.feature.feature.group 1.0.54) requires 'org.eclipse.platform.feature.group [3.5.0,3.6.0)' but it could not be found
Eclipse Helios already have the correct source to download the glassfish plugin but, the site is not available yet.
The site will be available at the end of july according to this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312912
You can use a development update site to install a rc version of the glassfish plugin for helios witch is:
http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios
Add this to your update sites and then uncheck the option "Group items by category" and you will see and be able to install the Glassfish Plugin in Helios
The above URL did not work for me (I am using final release of Helios).
I had to do
help -> eclipse market place -> [then select glassfish plugin from the 'search' tab]
On the new Eclipse (JUNO):
Help --> Install New Software...
Then, insert http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/juno inside the URL field, and press ENTER.
I am using Eclipse Oxygen for Java EE. I have installed the Java EE 7 Web Profile SDK Update 3, that includes GlassFish Open Source Edition Web Profile 4.1.2.
When I do File >> New >> Server, the GlassFish does not appear on the server type list.
I already have seen this answer to this question, but it didn't help me because in Eclipse Oxygen I don't know where is the option to download additional server adapters.
How can I add GlassFish to Eclipse Oxygen?
I solved this problem by just installing GlassFish Tools through Marketplace.
What you have to do is drag the Install button in this link GlassFish Tools
and drop in your workspace, it may take a few minutes but after reboot your eclipse you will be able to add a GlassFish server
