Hi;
First of, the webtools project has brought an Eclipse oldtimer, who
'detoured' to Netbeans 3.6, back to Eclipse (applause). The initial
contribution looks pretty elaborate for starters. Nice. (BTW, I also
gave MyEclipse a shot, but alas they do not support j2ee 1.4 yet.)

Anyhow...
I installed the ibm features/plugins and it seems like all went ok. I
did NOT install the objectweb plugin. (Does this overlap the ibm
contrib, or does it complement it? Should I install Objectweb as well?)

Sorry for the deviation, back to my main question (finally!).
With the j2ee sdk from Sun, I also dl'd the Sun Appserver 8, which I
have up and running ok. How do I specify this server for my ejb's ear's
as well as servlets/jsp's?
Also, what is meant by "J2EE RUNTIME Server", and to what directory do I
need to point it to, in order for this to work.

Thank you much;

Hi,

The ObjectWeb is a separate contribution. We've been using these two initial
contributions (ObjectWeb and IBM) to compare function and decide on the
initial features and support that are required by WTP.

I assume you're talking about the "J2EE Runtime Library" support? This is
basically there to allow you to compile your J2EE projects against a server
that isn't yet supported by the tools (e.g. Sun Appserver 8). It allows you
to pick an installed JRE and point to a directory containing a bunch of J2EE
jars, and then easily switch your J2EE projects to compile and build against
it.

You can either create a J2EE Runtime Library manually (Preferences > Servers
> Installed Runtimes) or when creating a new project. The support is fairly
simple - just pick an installed JRE (you can install new ones using the Java
tools that come with Eclipse) and then browse to a directory that contains
all of the J2EE jars you want to compile against. Most servers have these
jars in a single directory, but if not you'll need to copy them all into a
single place and point to that directory.

Thank you much, indeed its working now. (except it doesn't generate
local interfaces for the ejb.)
Fwiw, since the Sun server comes with pretty good packaging and
deployment tools, gui and cmd line based, I can make do (for now)
without direct support for it from Eclipse.

Thanks again;
