eclipse neon.1 jonas 5 server adapter

Question

I am running eclipse neon.1 under ubuntu 16.04 . I installed eclipse using eclipse installer and installed the Java EE package. I installed jonas and maven and such so everything is set up. I can build my project.

However I can't find a way to integrate my jonas server within eclipse using the jope adapter http://forge.ow2.org/projects/jope/

I did download the latest version 5.1.0 extracted it in the dropins folder but it seems that eclipse ignore it. So i can't add my jonas server in my eclipse environment.

Here's a log of the startup of my eclipse instance :

Answer 1

I encountred the same problem and i resolved it by installing the plugin with the eclipse GUI. Just click on Help -> Install new software -> Add a repository:

Name : Jonas

Location : http://jope.ow2.org/update/jope/

Then select JOnAS Server Adapter and install it.
