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

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.

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.

Eclipse Luna + WildFly 9

Can I use Eclipse Luna with WildFly 9 server ? Or should I move to Eclipse Mars ? I'm asking because I can't create a WildFly 9 server on my Eclipse but I can create a WildFly 8 server. I checked my Jboss Tools plugin which seems to be up to date (version 4.2.6). On Eclipse Mars a 4.3.0 version is available.
As you see below links, all informations show JBoss Tools 4.3.0 Final release is not appropriate for Eclipse Luna.
Check JBoss Tools column on JBoss Tools Download Overview.
Check installation part in Blog Announcement of JBoss Tools for Eclipse Mars.
Check server section on Documentation of JBoss Tools 4.3.0 Final.
If there is no any policy or another, moving Eclipse Mars is better choice to work stable and prevent future conflicts. Lastly, I have tried to download the bundle and install it manually but process is blocked by Eclipse Luna.
The JBoss Tools Download site claims that the current 4.3 release can be installed into Eclipse Luna.
You may need to download the bundle and install it manually.
That said, if you are not constrained by some policy or another then you should consider upgrading to Eclipse Mars.

Why do I not have GlassFish option on eclipse?

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.

Liberty profile not available as a new server in 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.

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.
