2.1. Installing JBoss Tools Plugins

The plugin can be installed in Eclipse from the JBoss.org update site. JBoss Tools 3.2 requires Eclipse 3.6, which can be downloaded from the Eclipse web site.

To install the JBoss Tools plugins start Eclipse and select HelpInstall New Software...


Click the Add... button.


This will display the Add Repository dialog. Enter JBoss.org Tools in the Name field, and http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/JBossTools-3.2.0.GA/ in the Location field. Click the OK button to save the changes and close the dialog.


The JBoss.org Tools site will be selected in the Work with drop down list, and after a moment the list of plugins that are included in the JBoss Tools package will be listed. From this list you can individually select the plugin, or select the All JBoss Tools 3.2.0 option to install all the plugins.


Click the Next button to calculate the system requirements and dependencies (this may take a little while). You will then be given an opportunity to review the plugins that will be installed.


Click the Next button to install the selected plugins. You will be prompted to accept the various license agreements that cover the plugins that are to be installed. Review the licenses, select the I accept the terms of the license agreements option, and click the Finish button to install the plugins.


Wait while the plugins are downloaded and installed.


You may be prompted with a warning informing you that you are attempting to install unsigned content. Click the OK button to continue.


You will then have to restart Eclipse to apply the new plugins. Click the Restart Now button to restart Eclipse.


When Eclipse is first started with the JBoss Tools plugins installed, you may be prompted to allow or disallow anonymous statistics to be sent to the JBoss development team. You can find more information on the data that is sent in the Getting Started Guide. Click the Yes to allow the statistics to be sent, or click the No button if you prefer not to send this data.


The plugin is now installed and ready to use.
