I want to work on SOA project in eclipse, so what plugins I need to install in eclipse?
What is eclipse soa tool? does it need any other plugins or I can do it just with one plugin?
RDGS
You may have a look at WSO2 Carbon Studio - wich is an open source product.
It contains vast variety of rich development plugins for developing various components of a complete SOA application.

I recently used the Library Manager in Netbeans (8.2, on Windows 10) to add a library, as show below:
However, in most guides I find online, in order to actually add the library to the project, I should do the following:
Right click the project -> Select the Libraries tab -> .... further steps ....
However, I haven't even been able to make it past the second step: the Libraries tab simply does not exist on my project properties, as seen below: Is this because the structure for a Vaadin web app project is so different from other Netbeans projects? Any advice would be appreciated
tl;dr
Don’t.
Do not configure libraries manually for your Vaadin project.
Instead, create a new Vaadin project using the template of a Maven archetype provided by the Vaadin Ltd company. Locate and edit the new project’s POM.xml file to list the libraries you need Maven to automatically download and install.
For Vaadin Framework (Vaadin 8), see:
Using Vaadin with Maven
Overview of Maven Archetypes
Maven
Usually Vaadin projects are configured using the Apache Maven tool.
Maven is quite popular across all kinds of Java projects. All three major IDEs (NetBeans, IntelliJ, Eclipse) support Maven-driven projects as an alternative to their own particular project definition system.
Maven has two purposes:
Configure the project parts and define a series of events for the compile-and-build process. You can create a new project pre-configured this way by starting with a Maven archetype (a project template).
Manage “dependencies”. This means you tell Maven what libraries your project needs. Maven then reaches out over the Internet to access a Maven-oriented repository of known libraries. Maven downloads your needed library from that repository, placing it in an appropriate place within your project. Tip: Be patient the first time you do this as Maven builds a local cache of the repository’s database, taking several minutes or more.
You specify both the project-build configuration and your list of desired libraries (“dependencies”) in one or more POM.xml files.
Using Maven eliminates the need to place libraries manually as you are attempting to do. No need to touch the NetBeans Library Manager. Indeed, I believe manually configuring libraries will conflict with Maven, with troubled results.
Using Maven is annoying at first, having to learn the lingo and the concepts. But once you are orientated, Maven does save you time and trouble, and makes your developer life easier. One big benefit: Maven makes switching between the 3 main IDEs much easier since you don’t have to learn about each one’s own idiosyncratic project-build-system.
I recommend you take a few hours to learn the basics. You’ll find many introductions and tutorials on Maven.
The Vaadin Ltd company provides a few good Maven archetypes for a new Vaadin project.
vaadin-archetype-applicationOne is a simpler structure, good for learning Vaadin and also good if building a simple small app.
vaadin-archetype-application-multimoduleAnother archetype is a “multi-module” Maven archetype, good for more serious Vaadin apps. One major feature is that your backend logic such as database-access can be separated from your user-interface logic, each in separate modules. You should definitely start with the simple archetype first. Don’t touch the multi-module archetype until you are comfortable with both Vaadin and Maven (unless you have the guidance of a helpful colleague who is a Maven maven).
By the way, Vaadin development in previous years virtually required the use of a Vaadin-savvy plugin that you would have to install into your IDE. Such a plug-in is no longer needed, now supplanted by Maven. You can ignore old outmoded guides to Vaadin that talk about an IDE plug-in for Vaadin.
Note: This entire Answer applies to Vaadin 8 (Vaadin Framework) specifically, and probably Vaadin 7 (as I recall). Vaadin 10 (Vaadin Flow) is a new ballgame, and I am not yet familiar with the situation there.
What's the difference between these
Eclipse with the Spring IDE plugin
Spring Tool Suite (STS) alone
I ask because STS says it's built on top of Eclipse, and I wonder what differences it has over simply using a plugin that adds similar functionality to "vanilla" Eclipse.
It's true, STS is built on top of Eclipse. The difference is only related to another products support from the STS installation, like Roo, Pivotal tc Server, Cloud Foundry and getting started guides, but you could also include this features in your Eclipse installation.
So STS gives a complete solution around Spring features and simplifies the developer environment install, that's the key difference.
As Martin Lippert explains in the forums:
"So you can end-up having the same features in STS and your existing
Eclipse installation after installing the STS features into it."
You could find more details on the Spring forums.
Details on features: STS features and Spring IDE plugin features.
Spring Tool suite has ready to go features specially designed to spring supported projects and cloud environment. And Eclipse is more generic where we've to add the plugins and extensions for our platform setup.
There is already an article about this in DZone Spring IDE and the Spring Tool Suite - Using Spring in Eclipse.
While the Spring IDE project provides a set of plugins for the Eclipse
IDE, the Spring Tool Suite comes as a ready-to-use distribution of the
latest Eclipse releases with the Spring IDE components pre-installed.
This includes the tc Server integration for Eclipse (another IDE
extension that is provided by Pivotal as an open-source project) and
various other additions to Eclipse that turn the pure Eclipse IDE into
a ready-to-use, best-of-breed environment for enterprise Spring
application development.
Are there any tutorials for the development of aem6 components without crx?
If you prefer intellij with it's built in maven support, you can use IntelliVault
Well this is a broad topic. For a start you can read the following articles:
FileVault
A tool developed by Adobe that maps the content of a CRX/CQ instance to your file system.
IMHO it's more like for a small project because that approach is hardly applicable to continuous integration.
Eclipse + Maven provides ability to have an easily deliverable components package. Also many continuous integration tools are able to use Maven builder.
I am starting to develop WebApp using Spring Framework. For that I know I have to use Spring Tool Suite. I went to the Eclipse site for downloads but I am having trouble knowing wich of the four types of downloads suggested in the page below should I choose, sicnce none of them seem to have Spring in its features ?
http://spring.io/tools/eclipse
Any help ?
Just for your consideration I wrote the following tutorials about STS
Installing Spring Tool Suite
Configuring Apache Maven
Getting Started: IDE & Projects
Configuring The Java Working Set
Structuring The Workspace
Complete and more detailed tutorials, available here: Spring Tutorial
Spring Tool Suite is a different download. It can be found here: http://spring.io/tools/sts .
Unless you are using Java EE which btw stands for Enterprise Edition,
I'd recommend just going with
Eclipse Luna -> Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
In addition to the full distribution downloads on http://spring.io/tools/sts (they are ready-to-use Eclipse distributions with pre-installed Spring tooling) you can also use an Eclipse installation and go to the Eclipse Marketplace to install the Spring tooling into your Eclipse instance.
I need to create a web based project where I will use java codes to do the back-end processing and database connections. So I need to write my code in JSP. I already installed tomcat.
But in Aptana i do not get the option "New Dynamic Web Project". Which i have created JSP projects previously. Any one knows how to add it or what toold i need to install?.
I'm not a fan of Aptana; in my experience it's a bloated tool that tries to do too much and does nothing particularly well. I would just get the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers package from http://www.eclipse/downloads and use that.
