How to install Orbeon Form Builder on localhost - forms

This may seem like a very silly question, but i am so confused about installing orbeon forms on my local machine. I have downloaded the free version as i would like to try it out before i pay $1000+.
Basically I downloaded the latest version of XAMPP which comes with Tomcat on it. I then made a new folder in webapps call orbeon which i copied the orbeon.war fiel into. i then went to localhost:8080/orbeon but it comes up with oops! good chrome could not connect to localhost:8080.
Am i able to use xampp or do i have to use just Tomcat?
Any help on how to install orbeon forms would be greatly appreciated, i think what i really need is help installing whatever i have to have, to install orbeon onto.

Follow the below steps to make the orbeon set-up work.
Step-1: Download the latest version of [Orbeon Professional Edition (PE)] (http://www.orbeon.com/download)
Step-2: Extract the downloaded orbeon.war in the webapps folder of Tomcat.
Step-3: For running the Professional edition of orbeon, you require a license.xml file which is available in the same page where you have downloaded the WAR.
Step-4: For downloading the license file you need to do registration by filling all the mandatory fields and this license is valid for a period of 90 days.
Step-5:Once you downloaded the license.xml file, keep it in the below path of the extracted Orbeon WAR.
\webapps\orbeon\WEB-INF\resources\config
Step-6: Start the Tomcat Server and test the installation

Can't add Liferay portlet from SVN to the App Server

I'm checking out a Liferay portlet from SVN created by another developer into my Liferay 6.2 plugins SDK. This portlet is located at C:\Users\me\Liferay\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\portlets
I then import the project at the root from the Liferay Plugins SDK into my Eclipse workspace
When I try to Right+click -> Add the project to the Liferay server it doesn't register. There are various applications created by others I've imported into the workspace but none of them deploy correctly unless I run a Liferay->SDK->deploy. The only thing that I can add directly to the server is the theme I've developed.
Specs:
Eclipse Luna
Liferay 6.2 EE bundled with Tomcat 7
Liferay plugins SDK 6.2
jdk-1.7
We've all been using Liferay 6.2 to develop our applications; Why are some reasons an imported portlet would fail to get added to the server?
The plugins sdk assumes a certain directory structure and I'm not sure if you match that. Also, there's a configuration file named build.username.properties (replace username with your actual login name) at the root of the plugins sdk, pointing to the root directory of your liferay installation. This will need to be correctly configured for the build process to correctly associate the correct Liferay installation
Make sure that the plugin-sdk's version matches the Liferay version and the other developers didn't mess with the build processes (e.g. hardcoding their own additions and directory names)
Lastly, note that the plugins typically must be deployed through Liferay's deploy folder, not directly to the appserver. If only the deployment to Liferay fails, you can find the built plugins in your SDK's dist folder once Ant has done its job.
If your problems still persist, you might want to give more detail: mentioning "restart with a bunch of errors" is kind of hard to give the correct answer to.

installation of JBoss in Eclipse while Tomcat is already installed

i m using Tomcat server and i want to add JBoss Server into my Eclipse,i'd tried to import Zip file of JBOSS but i did not able to make it.
what to do & How to install JBoss Server in Eclipse
Here is the tutorial on how to do that. You basically need to add new server and point Eclipse to the location of the unzipped folder which contains your server (that applies for all of them, not just JBoss). You should also do some research before asking because Google is full of solutions for this particular question.

Exporting Wicket to a Web Server

I'm serious when I say have been all over the internet and on google for past few hours trying to find an answer to this question. Ok, I have already coded and compiled a working wicket in Eclipse. It runs in Eclipse just fine but I now need to export this to my webserver. How do I do this!? It's such a simple concept and yet no one has talked about it. I know I need tomcat, but they don't say how to export the files. If a JAR file works. If I need to configure Tomcat is some way. How to get this to work with an already running web apache server. My guess is that tomcat has to be running to execute the java portion of the wicket and then you can just point a link to your index.html. But I have no idea. Enlighten me please with a step-by-step tutorial? I'm a slight beginner with Eclipse and started using Tomcat and Wicket only 2 days ago.
Its preferable to pack your project into a war file distribution.
An easy approach to do that, is to use Apache Maven for building it.
For Maven there are plenty of plugins available, one of them is a "war" plugin, which helps you creating your war / web archive.
The war file you have simply to put into the webapp of a fresh downloaded tomcat.
There's a couple ways but one way is you can compile to a .war file and deploy from the admin console in tomcat. See here for the tomcat documentation.
In Eclipse, right click your web application project, select Export -> War File and follow the wizard.
When you have your .war file ready you can then upload it to a Tomcat or Glassfish installation.

I am downloading Eclipse. But what else do I need to develop Java EE applications?

I am downloading this version of Eclipse. I want to know what else I should download and install before I can start working on Java EE applications.
Previously I used to work with NetBeans. Back then, I used to install these:
JRE
JDK
NetBeans
Tomcat
Then I could develop Java EE applications.
Is the same set of steps required when I download that Eclipse too? Or do some of the things come bundled with it? Please help me out with setting up the development environment.
Eclipse doesn't bundle JRE/JDK or app servers. Make sure you download "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" package (as others will not have the plugins you need). You will need to download JDK and Tomcat separately. Note that there is no need to also download a JRE as JDK install has a JRE in it.
Note that Eclipse does have en embedded Jetty server that can be used for previewing your app without a separate app server, but most non-trivial apps still require downloading and installing the specific app server you intend to deploy in production on.
Take a look at the official website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
I had installed my enviroment from these website and work properly, the server is up and running.
Tomcat is a software implementation, you need to install it separately. Take a look at the official tomcat's website at: http://tomcat.apache.org/
If you're working on a web site, my suggestions would be:
JRE/JDK, Apache Tomcat Application Server, Freemarker templating language (for page-building), Apache Web Server (for proxying, rewriting, mod_jk to load balance tomcat worker(s)), Varnish or Squid Cache, MySQL (to host UGC data (user generated content), and some kind of open source CMS system (Drupal or others) to host data that's web site editor created.

Cannot find OpenPortal Portlet Container 2.x when creating a new server runtime environment in eclipse

I just started learning portlet and got stuck in the first place. I have installed JavaEE 6 SDK, Eclipse Helios and GlassFish Server 3.0.1. I also successfully configured OpenPortal Portlet Container (OPC) for GlassFish by running command:
java -jar portlet-container-configurator.jar
The problem come up when I wanted to create a new server runtime environment of OPC, there was no "OpenPortal Portlet Container 2.x" node like the tutorial said. I googled and found that I needed to install Eclipse Portal Pack but the link was dead.
Any suggestion, please?
Best Regard.
If you want to develop portlets, I strongly recommend downloading Apache Pluto instead of using the open portlet container; you can download a version of Tomcat bundled with Pluto from their site: http://portals.apache.org/pluto
Actually, Pluto has a few quirks that you need to get past (for example, it wants you to run an 'assembly' step to add some entries to your web.xml) but once you do it is probably the best way. You could also try Liferay or JBoss' GateIn for development, but if you are ultimately targeting a vendor supplied platform like WebSphere, you might find that these actually have features that aren't as portable, whereas Pluto is really just a simple implementation of the portlet spec.
I have found the .jar file on Internet. Thanks for watching.
