Tooling
Reminder: This documentation is based on the current nightly builds of the Virgo IDE tooling, since there hasn't been a milestone or release build published yet.
Installation
Prerequisites, either:
- Eclipse JEE Helios SR2, or
- Eclipse JEE Indigo
Installation Steps (for the latest milestone builds):
- Add Spring IDE update site to available update sites: http://dist.springframework.org/snapshot/IDE/nightly (At the moment the Virgo IDE has a dependency on the Spring IDE. We are working on removing this dependency. Until we get there, you need Spring IDE installed or available at one of the update sites.)
- Go to "Install New Software" and put the Virgo IDE nightly snapshot update site into the dialog: http://download.eclipse.org/virgo/milestone/IDE.
- Select the "Core / Virgo IDE" feature and install
- Done
Installation Steps (for the latest snapshot builds):
- Just do the same as for the milestone build, but use this update site for the Virgo IDE: http://download.eclipse.org/virgo/snapshot/IDE.
Features
The tooling supports the following:
- Bundle projects
- Par projects
- Plan files/projects
- Web Bundles
- Deployment to a Virgo Server in the server view.
Notes
Web Application Bundles
To create a web application bundle choose to create a normal bundle project, but on the Bundle Content panel select the additional property entitled "Web Application Bundle". On the Bundle Properties panel enter a suitable context path for the application as the Web-ContextPath.
Bundlor
Bundlor is not used by default, you must create you own template file and then turn on incremental manifest generation.
Migration
Moving from the old tooling to the new requires some changes to your existing projects, these are documented here.
The Bundlor .settings file has a new name (com.springsource.server.ide.bundlor.core.prefs -> org.eclipse.virgo.ide.bundlor.core.prefs) and the property keys in it have new names as well. Currently these just need to be changed manually or use the project properties pane to create new settings and delete the old one.
