JBoss Eclipse IDE

Introduction

JBoss Eclipse IDE is a set of plugins designed to be integrated in the Eclipse IDE runtime environment. The current features cover the following:

• Very comfortable and sophisticated support for Xdoclet.

• Debugging and monitoring of JBoss servers and controlling of their life cycles.

• An easy way to configure the packaging layout of archives (packed or exploded).

• A simple way to deploy the packaged and/or exploded archive to a JBoss server

Some parts of the J2EE development process are not yet covered. That is J2EE-specific project management (templates and wizards). This has still to be done. Anyway, the main focus for the next version is on these topics.
