How to add JBoss Server in Eclipse?

Question

I am new to JBoss and have just installed Eclipse. I have added a project to the workspace and now I want to deploy it to a Jboss server. However, in the New Server Runtime Environment list, JBoss is not available:

I am using the below Eclipse version:

Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Mars Release (4.5.0)

Why is JBoss not listed as a runtime environment? What do I have to do to add JBoss to the list of available runtime environments?

Answer 1

Since Eclipse Mars 2 (JEE edition), JBoss Tools can be directly dowloaded from the New Server interface:

Selecting JBoss AS, WildFly, & EAP Server Tools will install JBoss Tools. After installation, the view will include JBoss/WildFly:

Follow the below instructions if Eclipse Mars 1 is used.

It is simply not built-in into the Eclipse distribution. You need to install JBoss Tools from the Eclipse marketplace ( Help -> Eclipse Marketplace and search for "JBoss Tools").

More specifically, the feature you are asking for is documented here:

Answer 2

Here is the solution follow below steps

1. In Eclipse Mars go to Help-> Install New Software
2. Click on add button and paste the URL of the update site which is in our case: Eclipse Mars tools for Jboss
3. Now select the JBossAS Tools plugin and Click "Next"

Answer 3

I faced the same problem, what I did was change the eclipse.ini point JDK version 1.8. Jboss Tools required 1.8.

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\jre\bin
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8

Answer 5

This worked for me. It required two passes through Window/Preferences ...

Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime Environments

Add... Select Red Hat JBoss Middleware Next Accept the license agreement

Installation takes a few minutes and requires an Eclipse restart

After the restart:

 Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime Environments

Add... Select JBoss Community/JBoss xxx Runtime Next Set the home directory and click the " Download and install " link

Select the version to download

Accept the license agreement

作为对@Magnilex 响应的补充，（现在...）您必须使用 JDK 8 运行 Eclipse Mars，否则 JBoss 社区的服务器适配器不会出现（请参阅http://tools.jboss的第一章.org/blog/2015-06-23-beta1-for-mars.html )

I tried all the possible solutions that I came across, but none of them worked for me to install the jboss server in the eclipse IDE. Everytime I ended with one error(ie Unable to load the repository), then I came to cross with below solution

Here is the solution follow below steps

1. In Eclipse go to Help-> Eclipse MarketPlace
2. Search for Red Hat CodeReady Studio(Developer Studio) and install it after accepting the agreement and install it.
3. Restart the eclipse inorder to reflect the changes in the eclipse
4. Goto servers and look for the jboss run time enivironment which will be there and load the server to the eclipse
