The plugin has been tested with JBoss AS 7.x and JBoss AS 6.1. h4. Installing the JBoss Source Lookup plugin * install JBoss Tools 3.3, as described in  https://community.jboss.org/community/tools/blog/2011/12/18/learn-java-ee... Learn Java EE 6 quickly using JBoss Central * call Help>Install New Software..., click the Add button and enter the following update site: https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/org.jboss.too... https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/org.jboss.too... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-4482-17822/l... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-4482-178... Install the JBoss Tools Source Lookup category and restart Eclipse. h4. Using the JBoss Source Lookup plugin * set up the central JBoss Maven repository as explained in: https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15169 Maven Getting Started - Users * create the jboss-as-helloworld project by following the instructions in https://community.jboss.org/community/tools/blog/2011/12/18/learn-java-ee... Learn Java EE 6 quickly using JBoss Central. * wait for Maven to refresh indexes. The use and debugging of this plugin is demonstrated in the following screencast: http://screencast.com/t/i6k9hzkjViOs Debugging JBoss AS server. The JBoss Source Lookup plugin enhances source attachment in the following way: * archive file doesn't have to be in the maven classpath * archive file doesn't have to be included in the classpath (jbossweb-*.jar, for instance). The JBoss Source Lookup plugin will find a class within a JBoss AS distribution and, if it is a Maven artifact, the plugin will attach the corresponding source. * archive file doesn't have to be in the m2e index (jbossjts-4.16.0.Final.jar, for instance) You don't have to add any JBoss AS Runtime to the classpath. I have added it in order to ensure the classes within the runtime are included in the Java Search and in order to be easier to add a breakpoint. -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/community/tools/blog/2012/01/24/jboss-source-...]
