Liberty profile not available as a new server in eclipse - eclipse

I am having trouble installing Liberty Profile. I have downloaded and installed eclipse Juno JEE edition and installed the WAS Developer Tools from wasdev. This worked fine after I re-created the default software sites which for some reason were not defined out of the box.
Eclipse reports that the toolkit is installed when I look at the list of installed software. However when I come to create a server instance there is no Liberty Profile option. The only entry under IBM is "IBM WebSphere v6.0".
Am I missing something? I am running on Windows 7 64bit. I have both a Oracle and IBM JRE installed and I have tried both by updating the -vm option in the eclipse.ini file. I have tried -clean. Nothing seems to let me create a Liberty Profile server.

The best and most reliable way is to install WDT in Eclipse is via Eclipse Marketplace. You will have the latest release available there for different Eclipse versions like Kepler, Juno, Luna. There are two editions of tools - one for full WAS, one for Liberty profile. So make sure to select the one you need. Developer tools work both with Oracle and IBM JVM.

Eclipse kepler SR 2 and Websphere

I have installed webspehere Application Server on my machine.
I have also installed Eclipse kepler SR 2.
I want to create a websphere profile, however in Eclipse I don't see 'Websphere' under Windows->Preferences->Servers-> ?
I am not sure if I am missing any plugin?
You need to download WebSphere Developer Tools to your Eclipse. WDT support 3 latest versions of Eclipse, so at this moment (17.10) - Mars, Neon and Oxygen, although it usually works with older also. You will need Eclipse for Java EE developers.
The easiest way is either start from this page Download Liberty in Eclipse or just find WDT via Eclipse Marketplace.
If you plan to develop for traditional WebSphere you will find server tools here - WebSphere Developer Tools for Eclipse Oxygen.

IBM worklight 5 - Unable to install plug-in

I'm trying to run the IBM Worklight plugin in eclipse classic, but I'm running into some errors:
First of all, I want to update eclipse, but it seems to take over 20 hours to do so. Is there another possibility to update to the latest software? I need to do this in order to install ibm worklight.
Secondly, I'm receiving this errorcode:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse 4.2 Dependencies 1.0.0.v20120615_1503 (com.ibm.rational.dependency.eclipse42.feature.group 1.0.0.v20120615_1503)
I'm loading the IBM worklight from a .zip file. Hopefully I have given you enough information to help me.
Update 1: I also tried using eclipse EE for IDE. Then I got this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: AJAX Web Tools 1.0.0.v20120731_1538 (com.ibm.wdt.webtools.ajax.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.v20120731_1538)
Are you loading the developer version of Worklight or a licensed. I would suggest using the Eclipse marketplace and searching for the Worklight plug in. Typically this is a smoother way of installing the plug in. Where did you get the zip files of the plug in? If it was directly from IBM, make sure it is the newest version which is the 5.0.5.1 (crazy versions, I know) If not, let me know.
IBM Worklight supports Eclipse versions 4.2, 3.7, and 3.6. For the Marketplace client use Juno, Indigo or Helios Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. (taken from: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-worklight-developer-edition#.UTTUNoeH7zs).
If you use other versions of eclipse you'll probably face installation problems.
Also check the "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" option in "Install new software" wizard.
Regarding upgrading eclipse as far as I know there is no way to upgrade eclipse to the next version, you must download and install desired eclipse version.

How to deploy on JBoss AS 7 from Eclipse Juno?

I'm using Eclipse Juno and want to test my Java web app in JBoss AS 7. How do I configure Eclipse so that it starts JBoss AS 7 and deploys the war? Also remote debugging should work. It seems I can't use JBoss Tools as they are only released for the previous Eclipse versions (Indigo and Helios).
Any pointers?
It seems that the current stable releases of JBoss Tools supports Eclipse Indigo (3.7.2) and Helios (3.6.x) as detailed here :
Is there a Beta Update site for Juno ?
This page has the details of the update site for Juno :
Instructions will be posted after the first Juno-compatible milestone
is available.
Until then, just point your Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) installation at this
site to install the latest nightly build. Note that there is no
guarantee of quality with a nightly, nor do we guarantee it won't set
your computer on fire.
Update site : JBoss Tools - Core - Nightly Build Update Site
It bears repeating, that the above is unstable at the moment.
Stability of JBoss Tools Beta for Juno ?
From this page:
Since the first version of Eclipse Juno is arriving soon it is worth
mentioning that JBoss Tools from its updatesite can be installed on
top of Juno.
It is though not guaranteed everything works, we know that especially
Hibernate Dali/JPT integration have issues since here the API has
changed greatly.
But if you are a Juno early-adopter then do please try run JBoss Tools
on it and if you find issues let us know in the forum or on JIRA.
Also, this might be of interest :
Our latest Beta, soon coming CR1 runs on Eclipse Juno (3.8/4.2) except for the Eclipse Dali/JPA integration
I use Eclipse Juno and I installed Jboss Tool for helios version.
Works like a charm.
This stable version of JBoss Tools 4.0.0 works well with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno).

Eclipse + JBossAS Tools doesn't show JBoss Community server Adapters

After accidentally losing the only Eclipse installation where I managed to install the JBoss Community server adapters successfuly (it required a very specific version of JBoss Tools), I'm trying to rebuild an Eclipse installation that shows the pesky Eclipse JBoss Community Server adapters.
I tried Eclipse Indigo + JBoss Tools 3.3 and Eclipse Juno + JBoss Tools 3.3. I install the Java EE version, go to "Download additional server adapters", install the JBossAS Tools, but the adapters still don't show up in the "New Server" list. I'm about to give up and buy myself an IntelliJ IDEA license, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone around here knows a proper installation path that makes the JBoss Community adapters "magically" apear...
You have to install eclipse plugin "JST Server Adapter" before installing "JBossAS Tools"
cf. bug : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10469
I figured it out. In case anyone is wondering why adapters disappeared after some upgrade, JBoss Tools doesn't work well with Java 5. Use Java 6 and the problem is gone.

Uninstalling Oracle WebLogic plugin from Eclipse Galileo

I believe that installing the Eclipse plugin for WebLogic changes the Eclipse behavior somewhat based on my experience with SSL handshake errors due to untrusted certs. I am trying to uninstall the Oracle WebLogic plugin from my Galileo installation. Here is the problem:
I see the Oracle WebLogic plugins and features when i click on help->InstallNewSoftware->Already Installed in the tabs named "plug-ins" and "features".
Those two tabs do not have the uninstall option/button at the bottom, but I do not see any listing for Oracle Enterprise and/or WebLogic plugin in the 'installed software' tab. This is the only place from where I can safely uninstall the plugin instead of just manually removing the plugin and features from the eclipse corresponding folders.
Is there some other entity managing the downloads from Oracle? is anyone else trying to do the same and finding similar problems? if you have any hints/pointers that'll be great -- Thanks.
I just deleted the plugins and features for Oracle tools and WebLogic included, from the corresponding Eclipse folders, and started eclipse with -clean. Everything is executing fine so far.
I have installed the Oracle WebLogic Server Tools in the following way:
In the Servers view "New Server"->"Download additional server adapters"->"Oracle WebLogic Server Tools". Then when I want to uninstall I cannot find it in the installed plugin or features list, just like you.
Then I tried to search "Oracle WebLogic Server Tools" in Eclipse Marketplace, I can find "Oracle WebLogic Server Tools" with the option "Uninstall".
I believe this way of uninstallation is safe.
