JBoss Tools Installation on Fedora 11

As I am currently working with JBoss seam, I had to install JBoss Tools on my Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2 – Fedora 11 -.

So in order to share the procedure to every one and mostly to avoid to forget or lose it I decided to write it on this blog.

In addition, it permit to avoid eclipse/JBoss Tools problems dependence such as :

And Errors such as :

Cannot complete the request.  See the details.
Unsatisfied dependency: [org.hibernate.eclipse.feature.feature.group 3.2.4.v200909151014R-H192-GA] requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.wst.xml.core/1.1.0

So these are the steps :

I] Install Eclispe on your Fedora.

I.I] Open a terminal as standard user – here mine “fhornain” – and be root.

[fhornain@localhost ~]$ su –

[root@localhost ~]# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

[root@localhost ~]# yum install eclipse-platform

II ] Launch eclipse.

II.I] Indeed you should select in you Fedora main menu bar  Applications > Programming > Eclipse

If not, launch a terminal and run the following command :

[fhornain@localhost ~]$ eclipse -vm /usr/bin/java

Rem: Change the path /usr/bin/java if it is not your java default location

Then you should see the eclipse starting banner – see below –

II.II] Then eclipse should ask you where you would like to save your projects – see image below –

The default location should be fine – well, for me 😉 –

II.III] Then Welcome screen appears – see below -. Close it with a click on the top left cross.

III ] Install JBoss Tools

III.I] When Eclipse starts, go to Help > Software Updates. The following window should appears :

III.II] Then click on the tab named “Available Software” – see below –

III.III] Then click on button “Add Site” on the right of the window – see above – :

III.IV] You see appear a new window where you are going to past the following URL : http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/ which is the offcial JBoss Tools URL – see below –

Then click the OK button.

III.V] Then do the same with http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/ and http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.3/ as mentioned for JBoss Tools in points III.III] and III.IV]

III.VI] You should see appear a new line in the “Software updates and add-ons” window – see below –

III.VII] Then click on the link “Ganymade Update Site” as show in the above picture :

III.VIII] Then go down and choose “Web and Java EE Development”

And click on the install button – see above -.

Then the installation start – see above – :

Then click on next button, accept the term of the licence and click on  the finish button.

The packages installation starts – see above – :

Finally the installation finish and the following window appear in order to reboot the eclipse IDE application – see below –

Click on the Yes button

III.IX ] Now we’ll do the same steps for JBoss Tools and Bitr as we did for Ganymed “Web and Java EE Development”.

You should see the entered JBoss Tools links done during III.III] and III.IV] steps then click on the JBoss Tools arrow and select JBoss Tools line – see above –

And do the same procedure as we did for Ganymed “Web and Java EE Development” at step III.VIII].

Let’s hope it clear.

Now you can play with seam and other JBoss projects… 🙂

IV] Launch Seam project with Eclipse and Jboss Tools.

IV.I] Indeed you should select in you Fedora main menu bar  Applications > Programming > Eclipse

If not, launch a terminal and run the following command :

[fhornain@localhost ~]$ eclipse -vm /usr/bin/java

Rem: Change the path /usr/bin/java if it is not your java default location

You should see appear the following window :

IV.II] Then click on the main menu bar File > New > Project and the following window appears – see below –

Then Choose your new JBoss Seam Project and name it.

BTW, do not forget BIRT otherwise you will not have JDBC Connectors

Enjoy !

Fedora at FOSDEM’10 Project Status #1

We had a great “Fedora at FOSDEM’10” project preparation Kick Off with Bert. We discussed a lot and listed things did not work from the previous years in order to improve it for the next edition.



We listed as well what we would like to have and created a action plan. You can have more details about that at the FOSDEM 2010 Organization wiki page.



Now, we are currently preparing the charter of that project and are looking after interesting innovative technical subjects. So if you are interesting to do a talk a FOSDEM’10, please make a proposal at the FOSDEM 2010 Technical Talk Propositions wiki page.

Green Open Source Organization. Yes, we did it !

Finally, we did it. www.greenopensource.org is born.

Following an inquiry from the physician Alex Wissner Gross from Harvard University which told that web surfing emits between 0,02g and 0,2g of Co2 – And this is just one example of Co2 emissions due to the Information Technology. – , we decided to create www.greenopensource.org. Our primary goals is to find IT green oriented open source solutions and publish them via this web site in order to reduce these emissions.
