How to add a server to JBoss Developer Studio ?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Developer Studio(JBDS)
    • 4.x
    • 5.x

Issue

  • JBDS comes with a server instance of the newest version of JBoss.
  • Developers will often want to confirm that their applications will deploy properly to a different version.

Resolution

  • In order to add a server instance of either version (4.3 or 5.0) to JBDS, you will need to:

    • Download the binary of the appropriate version of JBoss, and install it.
    • Open JBDS
    • Right-click anywhere inside the Server tab and select New Server.
    • In the window that opens, specify the hostname, version, and location of the server that has been installed. Then choose which configuration (ie Default/Production/All/etc) you want to launch
    • Once this is all configured, choose which of your projects in JBDS will be run on this particular server.

  • This should provide a server that can be used the same way as the default server that comes with JBDS. This process is described in better detail at: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.0.0.Beta1/en/GettingStartedGuide/html/manage.html#AddingJBossServer
