How to configure Glassfish Server in Eclipse manually

Question

I have GlassFish server3.1.2.2 pre installed on my machine. Which I want to use in my Eclipse Luna

How do I manually configure it to use in Eclipse?

When I tried using Eclipse Market Place i got an error No repository found at http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/luna.

I tried searching through net for which I get pointed to the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) which is of about 485MB.
Is there an another way round for this?

You must use Eclipse WTP (Web Tool Platform), and should use the lastest version is Luna 4.4. Link download: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/lunar

Menu Windows\Show view\Other, choose folder Server, click on Servers.





Right click on blank area to use context menu, choose New\Server

Press link "Download additional server adapters"

Choose "GlassFish Tools" from Oracle vendor.



Then, restart Eclipse.

• Or you download GlassFish tools (Supports GlassFish 4.0 and 3.1) from: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/glassfish-tools and install manually.

I could fix it using below steps.(GlassFish server3.1.2.2 and eclipse Luna 4.4.1)

1. Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Search GlassFish > you will see GlassFish Tools > Select appropriate one and install it.
2. Restart eclipse
3. Windows > Open Views > Other > Server > Servers > GlassFish 3.1
4. You will need jdk1.7.0 added to Installed JRE. Close the previous window to take effect of new default jdk1.7.0.

This questions seems a little bit outdated but here is my solution.

I assume that you have already downloaded GlassFish on your hard drive and unzipped the files on a directory.

A - Eclipse MarketPlace / Installing GlassFish Tools

The first thing as it is said on previous answers, you have to downloaded GlassFish Tools from eclipse marketplace;

Help -> EclipseMarket Place

And install GlassFish on the screen below;

B - Adding GlassFish Server

Open Server View, if it is not visible on the bottom of the eclipse, then;

Window -> Show View -> Servers

As the server view is visible, simply click "No servers are available. Click this link to create a new server..." as shown below;

C - Adding GlassFish Server

On the New Server window, select GlassFish as shown below. On my experience, there is only one GlassFish option that I can select, instead of several GlassFish options with versions as you can see down below;

D - Configuring GlassFish & Java Locations

Enter the exact GlassFish location and also Java location as you can see below;

E - Last Step

On the last step of this configuration, just leave everything as it is. For simplicity, I don't define an admin password;

Now everything is all set, hope that this helps!

To use Glassfish tools with Eclipse Luna you need Java 8. I also faced this problem because I had Java 7. If you have Java 7 in your environment then download eclipse Kepler. It will work fine.

Solution 5

I had the same issue. Not able to install neither using Marketplace nor Servers tab.

Following is the alternative.

1) Help -> Install New Software

2) Use url : http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.1.3.6/luna/repository Above is the OEPE tool provided by oracle for EE development.

3) From all the suggestions, select glassfish tools.

4) Install it.

5) Restart eclipse.
