TOTD #97: GlassFish Plugin with Eclipse 3.5


A new version of GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse (ver 1.1) was recently released. The build contains

  • Eclipse 3.4.2 IDE with WTP Java EE support
  • GlassFish v2.1 pre-registered and configured
  • GlassFish v3 Prelude pre-registered and configured
  • JavaDB sample database pre-registered and configured
  • GlassFish Plugin (1.0.29)
  • MySQL JDBC driver registered to the IDE
  • Maven m2 plugins
  • JAX-WS Metro plugin
  • GlassFish documentation
  • And optionally, a JDK 1.6.
The functionality is also available in GlassFish Plugin that can be installed on Eclipse 3.5. However because of the Eclipse bug #280365, the plugin cannot be installed directly using Server Adapters. The alternative is to install explicitly using the Update Site. The instructions to do the same are given below:
  1. In "Help", "Install New Software", click on "Available Software Sites":

  2. Search for "ajax" to see the output as:

  3. Click on "Enabled" button to enable the site and see the change as below:



    click on "OK".
  4. Expand the drop-down list box and chose the recently added "update site" as shown below:



    and it shows all the software available from that site as:

  5. Take the defaults, click on "Next" and it shows the GlassFish plugin version number as shown below:

  6. Click on "Next", accept the license by clicking on  "I accept ..." and click on "Finish" to start the installation.



    The IDE restarts after the installation is complete.
  7. Now a new server can be added using "Servers" tab and it shows GlassFish as an option as shown below:

The screencast #28 shows how to create a simple web application using GlassFish v3. Future blogs will show how to leverage the new functionality of JAX-WS Web services plugin and JPA Dali Tooling with GlassFish.
