I'm trying to learn to use glassfish for the first time. My IDE is netbeans and I've installed the glassfish plugin for netbeans. I opened up synaptics package manager and typed in glassfish. My choices were
imqv2
glassfish-activaton
glassfish-mail
glassfish-appserv
glassfish-toplink-essentials
glassfish-jmac-api
glassfish-javaee
I'm not sure what is in each package, or which package are needed. I can't seem to find anything that tells me anything descriptive about these packages.
I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to install glassfish, but I'd prefer to use apt-get / synaptics to install glassfish so that syntactics can take care of updating.
To strictly answer your question, I think that a typical install would at least include glassfish-appserv, glassfish-javaee, glassfish-toplink-essentials (for JPA).
But for development, I'd warmly recommend to use GlassFish v3 (because of the session preservation across deployments feature, to maximize productivity) and to install it manually in your home directory. Download the self-extracting installer file from here.
Do you want to run the latest and greatest software? It looks like Synaptic has Glassfish version 2 which is an entire major version out of date.
Just for the record: I love Ubuntu and their (well, Debian's) package management system. However, for any Java applications, I prefer to do manual installations. So, my Maven, Eclipse, Tomcat, Glassfish, etc. were all done through manual installs for the newest version... and because sudo apt-get install winds up throwing the app in some weird place and can have unexpected behavior.
Here is how you can do a manual install...
Download Glassfish: wget http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/nightly/latest-glassfish.zip
Extract the archive anywhere on your filesystem
Inside your IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse, setup a new server and point it at where you extracted the file
It's also useful to add a new environment variable to ~/.bashrc file, which will make it easier to start the server from the command-line, e.g. $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
Another cool thing to try, if you're into maven, is to use the maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin. It's a clean way to get a web app up and running and not need to manually install glassfish and not even have to use an IDE.
You might also try asking this question at superuser.com if you really want to get it working with Synaptic.
i dont know if this here is still open...
but if you know how to handle shell commands on ubuntu then you might find this here helpful:

I haven't found one to install Eclipse 4.2 Juno. Default Ubuntu repositories (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) suggest me the archaic Galileo version. And I found the Eclipse's page on Launchpad which was updated in 2009.
I can, of course, simply download the archive with all the files from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, but that's not Debian way, is it? I mean, no automatic updates and other aptitude-managed cool things.
So, is there any repository that maintains the most recent version of Eclipse?
I think it is unlikely that you will find a newer package for Lucid. People tend to create packages for newer versions of Ubuntu.
If it's not possible to upgrade Ubuntu, what you could try is to make your own package but you would still not get automatic upgrades. From a quick look, it looks like that Juno needs some libraries to build that could be newer than the versions you have in your system, so this may end up being quite difficult. It could possibly be the reason why it is not available for Lucid in the first place.
If Juno works in your system, the quick and dirty solution is to first create a temporary folder, e.g. eclipse_3.8.0 and then do the following:
mkdir /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/DEBIAN
mkdir /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/opt
tar xzvf eclipse-juno.tar.gz -C /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/opt
dpkg-deb -b --no-check /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0
This will create a deb package that installs eclipse in /opt/eclipse. You may want to put a control file inside the DEBIAN folder to add a description, dependencies, etc.
If you still want to give building a try, from the official ubuntu launchpad page for eclipse you can download the source files and especially the control files stored in the xxx.debian.tar.gz file. Take a look at the Debian wiki for some tips on how to build. Precise has the Indigo SR2 version and Quantal seems to have Juno.
I recently updated my ports on my FreeBSD 9.0 release machine and I think eclipse was upgraded due to a port upstream forced Eclipse to be rebuilt. Now Pydev is gone. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Eclipse, then installing Pydev using pydev.org/updates inside Eclipse. It appears to install ok but I can't create a Pydev project or use the Pydev view. I tried removing my ~/.eclipse folder to force the creation of a new one, and reinstalling Eclipse and Pydev to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.1 build id: R3_7_1
This question was most similar to mine, but the solution didn't work for me. I also tried pointing my install site as: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates/site.xml per another question on StackOverflow, to no avail.
After some more testing I finally got the newest FreeBSD port to work. I had to launch and install the plugins as root. It didn't work another time I ran it but, this great troubleshooting document helped out. I methodically went through each step one by one, and the logs indicated there was an error on my /usr/local/lib file it was trying to unzip. My user doesn't have write access to that directory but root does. I don't know why it didn't work the last time I ran it as root, perhaps I didn't install the plug-in as root. It works now, so I'm happy. Thanks Fabio, for your input.
I'm not sure how FreeBSD packages things, so, maybe an easy way out would be getting Eclipse from Eclipse.org and installing PyDev on that fresh install (or if you're also doing web stuff, I'd suggest grabbing Aptana Studio 3, which comes with PyDev preinstalled, so, you don't have to worry about configuring it).
See: http://pydev.org/download.html for details
I am in the process of upgrading our development environment at work. One of the features is to get our developers using Eclipse as their IDE. However for security reasons we do not want our developers to be able to install plugins in Eclipse.
Is there a way to install Eclipse such that a regular user will need to obtain admin privileges to install a plugin?
Regrettably I am only familiar with *nix type permissions, and I would have thought windows would be somewhat similar. I believe I have installed Eclipse under C:\Program Files\eclipse with just read/execute permissions, but when a regular user comes along and tries to install a plugin it appears that Eclipse installs it under the user's directory. Is there a way to prevent that?
Basically after the initial installation of Eclipse the developer should NOT be able to install plugins. What's the best way to do this?
Ultimately this will need to work on a WinXP system. But for my home computer I test on a Win7 machine. Hopefully the procedure for the two platforms are the same, but when it comes to MS who knows.
There is no obvious way to prevent plug-in installation on eclipse. Even the eclipse installed under C:\Program Files\ on windows 7, eclipse also allows installing the plug-ins into the user's home directory for each user. It's designed for share install that has same behavior on linux as well.
I'm not sure what's kind of security concerns to make such a decision, one possible way is removing the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.* plug-ins from your eclipse to disable the ui entry of eclipse's install menu.
FYI: the full description of the behaviour you are seeing is described in multi-user installs [1]. If you check out that and the Runtime options available as a link from that page, maybe you can set the osgi.configuration.area system property to something read-only as well.

I decided to take a look at Clojure and thought the best and easiest method for me would be to use Netbeans with the Enclojure plugin as I didn't want to have to learn Emacs at the same time. I installed Netbeans 6.9.1 together with the latest JDK using the bundled install (on Windows 7). All went smoothly. I then followed the instructions at http://www.enclojure.org/gettingstarted for installing the enclojure plugin.
When creating a new Clojure application I get the following and see no project files :
java.io.IOException: Could not connect to URL nbresloc:/org/enclojure/ide/templates/project/ClojureProjectTemplate-1.1-distribution.zip. No such resource was found.
Maven is working using mvn --version
I have installed on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 (same result).
I have looked on the Enclojure forum and there is a recent open thread for this issue, but it is not solved by anybody presently.
I have Java SE enabled in Netbeans
I have tried enabling the different platform versions of Clojure, 1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc..
The REPL seems to be working happily in Netbeans : (printf "hello") hellonill
I did try ClojureBox on Windows 7, but again that's Emacs, but emacs failed to start the server and hung there and became totally unresponsive.
I come from a .Net background (not Java) so my knowledge of the Java environment is somewhat lacking. My reason for looking at Clojure and not Java.
I am new to Netbeans
If you're interested in a working Maven pom, here is one I've used with Enclojure successfully:
http://puredanger.com/techfiles/100624/pom.xml
There are some project settings you'll need to change and a few dependencies to remove but it might be a good start. In general, I usually create the pom first and then just import the project into NetBeans rather than using the NetBeans options to create projects.
By the way, the REPL work in Enclojure has been split and is coming soon to the Eclipse plugin Counterclockwise.
I had written a small post on it on my blog.
Anyways here is the procedure:
On searching realized that this is a common problem for installing it on > Netbeans 7.. But with some manual tweeks managed to install it. Here are the instructions to install on Netbeans 7. plus:
Install Netbeans 7. You need only the Java SE version.
First Run of Netbeans after installation. Activate feature Java SE
Activate features is on the Start page or from Tools,->Plugins>Installed, click ‘Activate next to the Java SE support
Install Maven: It is HIGHLY recommended that you install maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.html
Go to the Netbeans->Preferences, click on the Miscellaneous tab and make sure the External Maven Home path is pointed to your maven install
Download the EnClojure 1.5 version from here. If you want to manually build, you can do that by following the instructions from here.
After downloading the file, In Netbeans: Goto:- Tools ->Plugins->Downloaded->Add Plugins->Downloaded
Then browse to the downloaded file. Later install by clicking at the “install : button.
Restart and you are on the go.
Visit here to build and run hello world project.Basically building the EnClojure 1.5 manually is the tough job. I hope above was useful.
I've set up Eclipse in Ubuntu 10.04. I currently have the OpenJDK JRE installed but don't have the JDK needed to compile.
However, the code written Eclipse still compiles. Is this a standard compiler included in Eclipse? I've searched through the package manager and don't seem to have any of the JDKs installed...
Note: running 'javac' in the terminal doesn't work.
If you download Eclipse from eclipse.org, it will bring everything it needs to work with it.
Eclipse is designed to be a standalone package which only minimally uses the components of the system on which it runs. This helps to provide the same experience everywhere.
On the down side, it makes Eclipse larger and more RAM-hungry, and also makes keeping Eclipse up-to-date a separate chore from keeping the rest of your system current.
You can see what Eclipse is using by going into your project build settings. It may be using its built-in compiler, which lets it easily highlight errors, rapidly do incremental builds, and such.
For what it's worth, the Java compiler included in Eclipse is a derivative of IBM's jikes compiler. It's not really so important what brand it is; what's important is that it is an incremental compiler; it sort of keeps your whole program inside itself and if you change a class (maybe even just a method) it will re-compile just the bit of code you've changed.
If you look at NetBeans, when you save a changed file it will call up an ant task to re-compile (via the JDK) at least the class you changed, maybe more. When your classes start to get bigger, you'll find (or at least I did) that this takes up a lot of time; I'm very happy with Eclipse (and IBM) for doing things the way they do. Without the external compilation step, code changes take place a lot more quickly.
Yes, the compiler has some differences compared to the "standard" compilers by Sun Oracle and OpenJDK. But I've never experienced a problem as a result. Still, for production use I'd recommend formally compiling using ant or maven and the JDK. Just to be on the safe side.
Eclipse, like unfortunately most substantial applications that require a JRE/JDK to run include it in the distribution.
For a good time on Lucid Lynx:
$ locate javac
You'll need to another source to the repository. Run the following commands.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
There's a package for eclipse called eclipse and the java compiler (javac) is in sun-java6-jdk
Install it with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or sudo apt-get install eclipse
Eclipse does come with its own compiler, but I wouldn't recommend using it for distribution of source code. I'm not intimately familiar with it, but I've been told that it doesn't perform optimizations as well as other compilers and there are some known bugs in it. I can't dig up anything that supports this, but I do like the idea of building using the same JDK/compiler and running on the same JVM that your users are.
I would suggest obtaining the Sun JDK for Linux. You should be able to get it from the Synaptic Package Manager if you open the universe repositories.
