Welcome to Apache Geronimo Development Tools Subproject

Welcome to the Apache Geronimo Development Tools Subproject. The aim of this subproject is to provide a rich set of development tools for Geronimo, focusing on application development, migration, and IDE integration. Currently, the two major tools are:

  1. Geronimo Eclipse Plugin
  2. JBoss to Geronimo Migration Tool (J2G)


Geronimo Eclipse Plugin (v2.0.0)

The Geronimo Eclipse plugin provides integration between Geronimo and the Web Tools Project. With this plugin, users will be able to use the features in WTP to create, deploy and debug applications for Geronimo.

Prerequisites

Several prerequisites are required to be downloaded and installed. Visit the WTP download site and download the WebTools Platform Runtime 2.0.1 driver along with its prerequisites as mentioned in the Requirements section. Here is the full list of prerequisites:

  1. Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5)
  2. Eclipse 3.3.1 (Eclipse Classic package of Europa distribution), which is platform specific
  3. Web Tools Platform (WTP) 2.0.1
  4. Data Tools Platform (DTP) 1.5.1
  5. Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) 2.3.1
  6. Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) 3.3.1

Alternatively, you can use the ant script (that is used to build the plugin) that will download and unzip everything above (except for the JDK). You can get it from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/trunk/eclipse/build.xml. After you download it somewhere (e.g., /temp directory) you can just invoke it for your specific platform using one of these three commands:

ant win32
ant linux
ant macos
