Chapter 5. Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio
Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio is the JBoss Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on Eclipse.

JBoss Developer Studio provides plug-ins with tools and interfaces for Red Hat JBoss BRMS and Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite. These plugins are based on the community version of these products.
