| In the past I've installed Eclipse Europa edition file:
| eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip
|
| Eclipse Platform
| Version: 3.3.2
| Build id: M20080221-1800
|
| and JBoss 4.2.2GA.
|
| 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.

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.

| Now this release is "ahead of the curve" with respect to what Hibernate Core 3.2.6GA says it needs. Is this ok? Is backward compatibility assured?

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 ?

| This does have corresponding version for Hibernate Core..
| So why does Eclipse update url given above not point to a 2.0.0GA version instead of 2.0.1GA so everything is synchronised?
|
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 ?
