I am taking my first steps developing web apps using Eclipse, Java EE, Hibernate, spring and hsqldb.
I installed the Helios version of Eclipse and installed WTP through the updater. But trying to install the plugins for others, I am having doubts.
Hibernate:
I tried the download jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/ as the hostname in updater and it shows
JBoss Tools - 3.0.3.v200910211631N-H194-GA
JBoss Tools Integration for TPTP, BIRT - 3.0.3.v200910211631N-H194-GA
in the list.Which am I supposed to install?Where is the hibernate plugin?
hsqldb:
when I googled ,I got these links
sourceforge.net/projects/hsqldb-plugin/
Is this the one?what is the update host name I am supposed to give to eclipse?
spring:
i tried springide.org/updatesite/ .It shows a list of some 10 or more items..What should I select?core /spring IDE?
The HSQLDB plugin for eclipse is an extension that can be added from within eclipse. See here for details on how to set up and use.

I have joined a new company where they do not allow us to download anything (Eclipse Marketplace). The default installation of eclipse does not have JBoss wildfly plugin.
Currently, even if I remove a comma in my code, it take 7 to 8 minutes to build/deploy/test
I need to configure Jboss in eclipse and able to do hot deployment whenever I change code. To download the plugin, I need to raise a request. Can I raise a request for below? would it solve my purpose? Can I install this plugin to my eclipse and configure jboss server in the server tab?
https://tools.jboss.org/downloads/jbosstools/2021-03/4.19.1.Final.html#update_site
Jboss 6.1 Eclipse 4.19.0 (I have eclipse 4.2 as well)
Any other idea would be helpful
Yes if you download the update site as a zip file, you will be able to install JBoss Tools plugins in your local Eclipse even in the case you don't have access to network
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'm running Eclipse Juno 4.2 (upgraded from Indigo 3.7), with the Spring Tool Suite tools installed. A while ago I had installed Spring Roo 1.2.2.RELEASE, and configured the Roo plugin to point to the 1.2.2.RELEASE runtime.
I would now like to upgrade to Spring 1.2.4.RELEASE, but cannot find the runtime anywhere. I've looked on the Spring site, but cannot seem to find a download link to it anywhere.
So a few questions:
1) Is the runtime still required as a separate download and do I still need to configure Eclipse to point to it separately?
2) Where can I download the runtime from?
3) Why do I need the separate runtime? Why is STS/Eclipse not smart enough to use the Roo artifact that is included in my maven project?
I still don't why I need the separate runtime to configure Eclipse, however, I did finally find a download link for the latest ROO packages: http://docs.spring.io/downloads/nightly/release-download.php?project=ROO
I just installed Springsource Tool Suite as a plugin to eclipse kepler. I need to develop database-driven-web applications with it. I have thought I could do that using hibernate, but the eclipse STS plugin that I found for hibernate seems to only work with jboss server. I want to work with tomcat 7 server. Can someone suggest a good way to use hibernate with STS eclipse and tomcat? Or is there a better way besides eclipse to do database integration with STS eclipse and tomcat? Links to download tools, and to modern tutorials with the current versions of each tool, would be greatly appreciated. I just created a new Spring MVC project using the template in STS eclipse kepler. It would be nice to have tutorials and tools that work with that toolset. Even a fully working database-driven web application sample code to study.
Your requirements as listed below:
Spring Tools Suite : http://www.springsource.org/downloads/sts-ggts (Choose the appropriate version)
For Tomcat 7 to be used on STS , you will need to download it from this link: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Update to JDK 7. Link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
To setup tomcat 7 in Spring Tools Suite (essentially Eclipse configured for Spring) use this link : http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/tomcat-7-with-eclipse.html (Follow the same procedure for STS)
You will also need to install a DBMS. Try using MySQL . Download it from : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Also if you decide to use Eclipse for Spring (I do.. :P ), use this : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerr
If you decide to use Kepler, you will need to install STS plugin for Kepler. Try: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/spring-tool-suite-sts-eclipse-kepler-43#.UhwuRNJkOSo
Try the following link for your first project: http://www.mkyong.com/spring/maven-spring-hibernate-mysql-example/
EDIT: As a developer it is very essential to know what is the standard way of implementing a Spring+ORM application. It's practice to to include Maven as a dependency management tool. Follow the links:
Download Maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Setup maven in Eclipse : Setting up new Maven In eclipse
Link to website using maven : Just Google.. :P
As for the no Maven part, try understanding why actually is maven used. Follow the link: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/spring_environment_setup.htm , to setup a spring envirnoment without maven. When you use Hibernate, just add the necessary jars to WEB-INF/lib folder. As simple as that.
Hope it helps. :)
I am looking for a bit of Liferay/Glassfish assistance here.
I am currently using a Liferay 6.0.6 portal running on Glassfish 3.0.1 and developing in Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo). I have downloaded the Liferay IDE for Eclipse as well.
The trouble I am having is in actually developing in Eclipse against a Glassfish server. I cannot create an actual Liferay project in Eclipse because the wizard requires me to specify a Liferay-Tomcat runtime environment.
Now I realize that this is the only server that is supported for the Liferay IDE as it is clearly documented in multiple places on the Liferay website and various forums around the web. However, I seem to recall one site (which, of course, I didn't bookmark :/ ) that gave instructions on a workaround for using Glassfish within the Liferay IDE. I believe it had something to do with creating the initial project as a Tomcat project, then going behind the scenes and changing some configuration files' Tomcat references to point to my Glassfish server.
I have set up my Liferay SDK environment correctly, including the build.username.properties file. I have this file pointing to my Glassfish server.
#
# Specify the paths to an unzipped Glassfish bundle.
#
project.dir=C:\\DEV\\myworkspace
app.server.type=glassfish
app.server.dir=${project.dir}\\..\\bundles\\liferay-portal-6.0.6\\glassfish-3.0.1
app.server.deploy.dir=${app.server.dir}\\autodeploy
app.server.lib.global.dir=${app.server.dir}\\domains\\domain1\\lib
app.server.portal.dir=${app.server.dir}\\domains\\domain1\\applications\\liferay-portal
However, everytime I try to do a deploy through Eclipse...
...this build.username.properties file gets overwritten with Tomcat settings from the runtime environment.
app.server.type = tomcat
app.server.dir = C:\\DEV\\bundles\\liferay-tomcat-6.0.6\\tomcat-6.0.29
app.server.deploy.dir = C:\\DEV\\bundles\\liferay-tomcat-6.0.6\\tomcat-6.0.29\\webapps
app.server.lib.global.dir = C:\\DEV\\bundles\\liferay-tomcat-6.0.6\\tomcat-6.0.29\\lib\\ext
app.server.portal.dir = C:\\DEV\\bundles\\liferay-tomcat-6.0.6\\tomcat-6.0.29\\webapps\\ROOT
Is there somewhere else that I need to make a change in order to get Eclipse to recognize my Glassfish server?
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
It is not currently possible to use a Liferay+Glassfish bundle directly as a runtime or server adapter in Eclipse with the Liferay IDE plugins. As you pointed out the only runtime and server adapters for Liferay IDE are the tomcat bundles. However, you can still use Liferay IDE to develop with Glassfish by using the following receipe with version 6.0.6 and current version of Liferay IDE.
Download Liferay+tomcat bundle
Configure it as a Liferay runtime
Create the project pointing to Liferay runtime
Go to Window > Preferences > Liferay > Installed SDKs, switch "update build.properties" option to Never
Launch Glashfish externally using startup script
Modify the build.properties in your SDK to point to Glasshfish as runtime
For deployment use the SDK deploy action just as you showed and it should be deployed to glassfish.
This should work for now. In the future, we will be adding support for Glassfish server to our Server Manager plugin that can be using with Liferay IDE and Liferay 6.1 for remote deployment and development, so it will work just like a local tomcat instance except it will be remote Liferay running on glassfish or jboss, or whatever you like. But right now the Server manager plugin in 6.1 beta4 only supports Tomcat6/7 and Jboss7. We hope to add Glassfish very soon.
