  | 
  | Eclipse Platform
  | Version: 3.3.2
  | Build id: M20080221-1800
  |

  | 
  | Selecting JBoss 4.2 in Eclipse never seemed to work....
  | 
  | I don't know if there is something about the Java version I used that was causing problems, but I could never get Eclipse to detect either JBoss Server (or Glassfish)
  | Menu navigation in Eclipse:
  | 
  |   | Window->
  |   | Preferences->
  |   | Server->
  |   | Installed Runtimes->
  |   | Search
  |   | 
  | See here:
  | http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.newcomer/msg22851.html
  | 

This has to do with how WTP works (no jboss tools involved).

I actually never used the search functionallity i in WTP and that also explains why we haven't implmented it ...we should. Please report that in jboss tools jira.

Anyhow - the way how this is done is File > New > Server, select JBoss,  a division of Red Hat (the WTP ones are very bare-boned) - and point it to your install.

  |   | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
  |   | Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode, sharing)
  |   | 
  | 

JBossTools will work on JDK 6, but JBoss AS does not support JDK 6 yet ( most things work though...just be warned ;)

eeh there is no *requirement* for 3.2.6 GA to use 3.2.0 of tools. It is a *compatibliity* matrix and the rest of JBoss Tools i s irrelevant.

we don't introduce weird breakage in point releases.

(For the folks at Hibernate. It would be a good idea to let us 'newbies' know about  all these things and if you scroll down under download tab over at SourceForge you can find the contents of JBoss Tools & versions/archives, sort of like a manifest). I spent ages trying to find this stuff out..


I don't understand why you did not just download JBoss Tools  or simply Hibernate tools if it is just hibernate tools you are interested in it ?

  | 

Why should our update site point to an *old* version ?

Why not take the latest GA from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=242269 ? why are you focused on 2.0.0.GA ?
