<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Today we are releasing with the first Alpha of JBoss Tools 4.1 and Developer Studio 7.0 targeting Eclipse 4.3 also known as the Kepler release. </p><p><br/><a href="https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-4854-18193/jbosstolsdevstudio.png"><span> https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-4854-18193/jbosstolsdevstudio.png </span></a></p><p style="text-align: center; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;">Developer Studio: [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess" rel="nofollow">Download</a>] | Tools: [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.jboss.org/tools/download">Download</a>] [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/kepler/">Update Site</a>] | [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew" target="_top">What's New</a>] [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=201" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Forums</a>] [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE" rel="nofollow" target="_top">JIRA</a>] [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://twitter.com/jbosstools" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Twitter</a>]</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>JBoss Tools is a set of plugins for Eclipse that complements, enhances and goes beyond the support that exists for JBoss and related technologies in the default Eclipse distribution.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>JBoss Developer Studio is a fully bundled Eclipse distribution which not only includes the majority of JBoss Tools but also all its needed dependencies and 3rd party plugins allowing for an easy one-click and no-fuss installation.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>If you are into doing your own bleeding edge eclipse plugin assembly, JBoss Tools is for you; if you are more into having something that "Just Works" then JBoss Developer Studio is the way to go.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h2>Installation</h2><p>This release is an alpha and is built against <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerm5" rel="nofollow">Eclipse 4.3 M5</a>, and as such things can and will still change before the final Kepler release.  </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>We therefore recommend you use the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/7.0/" rel="nofollow">JBoss Developer Studio installer</a> to be sure you got the right Eclipse distribution, but you can of course use <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/kepler/">JBoss Tools updatesite</a> (note: url has changed since the Juno based release) if you wish - just be sure you are using Eclipse 4.3 Kepler M5 when doing so.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h2>Improvements</h2><p>As mentioned above we are now targeting Eclipse Kepler to pickup the new features, bugfixes and performance improvements made since Eclipse Juno - we are releasing this Alpha to get early feedback on our tools but just as much on Kepler so we can actually get any remaining issues fixed before the release train ships this summer. Please report bugs to us or eclipse.org directly if you find an issue that is reproducible even without JBoss Tools installed.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Beyond that a few other highlights sneaked into this Alpha...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h3>JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1 Alpha Support</h3><p>Last week Mark Little announced that <a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="https://community.jboss.org/blogs/mark.little/2013/03/07/eap-binaries-available-for-all-developers">EAP 6.1 Alpha is now freely available for Developers</a> and you can get it from <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads">JBoss AS download</a> page. This release of tools provides support for EAP 6.1 Alpha.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Note: we will soon have an update to JBoss Tools 4.0 and Developer Studio 6.0 to provide similar support but if you want to get started today with the alpha of JBoss EAP use this alpha tooling with it.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h3>BrowserSim w/Firebug</h3><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>BrowserSim now includes Firebug for easy inspection of dom and css styles.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a href="http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/vpe/images/4.1.0.Alpha1/Firebug-Lite2.png"><span> http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/vpe/images/4.1.0.Alpha1/Firebug-Lite2.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h3>Content assist for JSF xml namespace</h3><p>XML namespace (xmlns) content assist now looks at your other pages and a list of standard xmlns when you are editing JSF pages and insert</p><p>the appropriate xmlns declaration if your page is missing it.
