Integrating Glassfish in Eclipse for Java EE

Question

I am using Eclipse for Java EE. I have installed Java EE SDK that include Glassfish server. But I do not see Glassfish in the list of servers when creating a web project. Ho

Answer 1

You need to download the eclipse plugin. http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios/

Answer 2

After installing GlassFish in Eclipse, you can build a complete Java EE 6 application as explained at:

You can also download Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) which comes with GlassFish pre-bundled.

Answer 3

Eclipse does indeed not ship with a Glassfish plugin out the box. You need to install it separately. It's quite simple, just click the link Download additional server adapters in the New Server wizard.

Wait for the list to be populated and finally pick Oracle Glassfish Server Tools.

After a restart it'll be available among the options.
