Unzip the archive to the c:\ root: this will create a tree of files in c:\eclipse.
|
|
Run c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe; you'll see the splash screen, and then a dialog asking you to select a workspace. Just leave the default and click OK.
|
|
Eclipse will start and you'll see the full layout of the IDE. Choose File | New | Other ... from the top-level menu. You'll see a dialog box with a list of folders and options for things to create.
|
|
Choose the Server folder, and under it the Server item, and click Next. You'll see a dialog for creating a server profile, with a list of supported servers.
If in this list you see a JBoss folder with options including "JBoss AS 5.1" and "JBoss AS 6.x" ... you're done! Close Eclipse, and skip all remaining steps.
|
|
Otherwise, click the link in the upper-right corner, Download additional server adapters, and a third dialog will appear, with a list of plugins that will be populated over the next few seconds or minutes as Eclipse searches the Internet.
|
|
Choose JBoss Server Tools: first, you'll see a message below the main listbox, "Calculating requirements and dependencies," and a progress bar. Then you will see a summary blurb about the Eclipse plugin you are about to install.
|
|
Click Next, and see a license agreement.
|
|
Accept the agreement and click Finish. You'll see a confirmation message.
|
|
Click OK, and the installation will begin. you'll see a message box titled "Installing JBoss Server Tools," with text, "Operation in progress" and a progress bar.
When the installation completes, all the dialogs will disappear and you'll see a message box prompting you to restart Eclipse.
|
|
Click Restart now. Eclipse will shut down and restart. If the restart fails, just start it manually as you did earlier. Again choose the default workspace.
|
|
To test the installation, again choose File | New | Other ... from the top-level menu, choose Server / Server and click Next. Now, in the new-server dialog, you should now see a new folder JBoss, with options including "JBoss AS 5.1" and "JBoss AS 6.x".
You don't need to create a server profile, as our workspaces have one built in. But your Eclipse installation is now ready to support those workspaces! So just cancel out and close Eclipse.
