Eclipse EAR module publish log - eclipse

I am using weblogic worshop to develop my spring based application. Basically it takes lot of time to publish the application to weblogic server. Is there any way to find out what’s going on when eclipse try to build and deploy the project? Basically does it maintain any log file?
Thanks ,
Manoj

Weblogic does a stupid thing according to my experience. If you deploy some WAR, it extracts the libraries in it, and does some analysis in them. You can avoid this behaviour by removing the "static" (not changed by you during work) libraries from the war during development. After removal, add them to system classpath of the domain. It will publish and start a lot faster.

You will find better support for developing Spring applications for WebLogic Server if you migrate to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. Workshop is legacy software that is no longer being actively developed. Using Workshop is only necessary for those developing with the deprecated Apache Beehive framework.

OEPE includes a much newer publisher implementation, so you may find your issue resolved. If not, please post to OEPE forum for direct access to people who can answer you question.
Cannot post a forum link, but you can find it from the above URL or via Google.

Thanks Konstantin and Gabor for replying to my question.
Konstantin - I am using Oracle Weblogic workshop 10.3 and I am restricted to use this IDE only.I guess it has OEPE correct me if I am wrong.Also I tried the FastSwap action but everytime I save the changes to a java file the server says -'Publish' and I have to republish the entire application which is taking lot of time.
Thanks,

How do I find jars?

I am using eclipse in Windows and a simple JSF example from the book Java EE7 Recipes. I cannot find the following jars: "javax.enterprisse.context.RequestScoped" and "javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean". I have searched for the files both in my pc and the net with no luck. Is there a general way to find the correct .jar files?
There are loads of sites available on web to find jars for a given class. Some popular sites are Help4J, GrepCode, findJar etc. It comes handy for developers.
I recommend you to install Netbeans with JavaEE Bundle for rapidly develop Java EE Apps because the whole infrastructure is provided. https://netbeans.org/downloads/
Thanks everyone for providing input. I found a download for javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped. I found that when you type "javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped download" in google it brings you to a download site. That's all that was needed.

jbpm with liferay

I can run a sample workflow done with jbpm5 ​​outside of liferay
but now I want to run this example in liferay
So the problem is how to integrate jbpm5 with liferay
I think I need to edit some configuration files in liferay
I'm reading these instructions but I can not find the solution
It's not than simple if you are trying to integrate jBPM5. As you can see the tutorial that you mention has being written for jbpm 3.1.2, a very old version. It will be a great community contribution to integrate jBPM5 to liferay, so if you are interested we can guide you, but you will need to do the work and research to get it working. I can help you with the jBPM5 but you will need to dig into the liferay bits.
I suggest if you want to run Workflow inside Liferay, first you must find a plugin for workflow engine. As fas as I know, Liferay supports Activity, JBPM, Kaleo,.. Have you downloaded JBPM plugin for Liferay? Because for default Liferay using Kaleo.

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.

Consuming Web Services in Netbeans

I've setup a project in Netbeans 6.5 with some web services that I've created myself and some web services that I've imported from WSDL files. I've setup a couple of desktop application through Netbeans in order to consume these web services. I'm not too sure where to go from here.
I have the GUI setup but not sure how to reference the web services so they can be consumed. I was wondering would anybody be able to guide me through this process or point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial. I'd also like to learn how to consume a web service through a JSP (also created in Netbeans) if possible.
Thanks.
You may find this tutorial useful:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/client.html, but since you are using Netbean 6.5 this may be the correct version:
http://netbeans.org/kb/61/websvc/client.html. As the steps show, it isn't difficult to build a jax-ws client using Netbeans.
But, it depends on what version of Java you are using also, most likely. You may want to download the latest version of jax-ws, if you get errors with your wsdl.
For a JSP, just create a custom tag to call the client.

Free JSP plugin for eclipse?

I was looking out for a free plugin for developing/debugging JSP pages in eclipse.
Any suggestions?
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project includes a JSP debugger. I have only ever needed to use it with Tomcat so I cannot say how well it works with other servlet containers.
BEA seems to have a free one BEA JSP plugin - not used it, so not sure how good it is.
Oracle now owns BEA, and they have this plugin which might do a similar job.
The former BEA Workshop is now Oracle Workshop. It is the best JSP editor with WYSIWYG support and it is free. It is not specific to WebLogic. Basic JSP editing is server neutral anyway. However, it supports launching and debugging on many servers.
You can read my blog post about it.
