We have replaced the existing multiple Server Runtimes for Virgo Releases with a single unified release. This means that if you have created a 3.5 Server Runtime (that wouldn't have worked anyway), you need to delete it and create a new Virgo Runtime. Please see:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Virgo/Tooling#Server_Versions

On the subject of Virgo Server versions, we should now have full support for 3.5 *and* the Kernel in tooling, with Jetty soon to come.

cheers,

Miles

Hi,

I tried out the latest snapshot (1.0.0.201203100237-SNAPSHOT), it's all looking really good. I know you have already mentioned a composite repository elsewhere but it would be good.

I pointed the tooling at 4 Virgo servers, 3.0.2.RELEASE Kernel and Tomcat and also 3.5.0.M02 Kernel and Tomcat, all working great, started, deployed a simple WAB or Bundle and stopped. I spotted few minor points though while playing with it all.

The PAR manifest editor didn't seem to work when trying to edit the one from our Greenpages sample, the editor just showed a message in big green letters saying it couldn't load the PAR manifest editor.

When I clicked on 'About Eclipse' from the drop down menus the Virgo IDE tooling still has a SpringSource Logo, would be better with the EclipseRT logo (http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseRT_Logos). The burb about the Virgo IDE also talks about STS still.

I tried playing with the Bundle Dependancy Graph on some of the servers, it deployed the "org.eclipse.virgo.ide.management.remote" bundle but I couldn't get it to show me anything, I searched for a few packages I know about. Is this expected to be working at the moment?

As for getting Jetty going, I'm looking at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=369238 later this week which may provide some help, add yourself to the Bugzilla if your interested.

Great Stuff,
Chris.

Good to hear!

I know that there are many outstanding bugs in the manifest and PAR stuff. That's been down on the list. Please raise a bug if you don't see that one in there.

Thanks for noticing that. We've done text searches but I'm not surprised that stuff has fallen through the cracks. I've opened 374110: Update product branding

No, and we should probably just remove the page altogether. It looks like that has moved over to Libra, though Leo and I should coordinate with them on that.

I'll be following the Jetty bug as well. Smile

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. All sounds fine to me. It is occurring to me that we may end in the situation where we (non-tooling folk) don't know what features have gone over to Libra and which have stayed and might just think some have gone away when they have actually just moved. I think it would be good to get some docs about what features we have and what has gone over to Libra, even if it's just a quick brain dump from you guys that we can write up later in a user guide some where.

Chris.

Yeah, I'm not sure that any of us are totally clear on this but we're starting to coordinate. I think they are relatively discrete. The other major pieces have to do with the bundlor mechanism, and we need to determine who "owns" some of that.

Looks like the Bundle Dependency Graph hasn't been working for some time: 350914: Bundle dependency graph displays a blank screen
https: //bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350914

That editor page has moved to Libra though, so we'll need to coordinate on a fix.

OK, we have Jetty support "working" in the forthcoming snapshot build. I put that in quotes because I'm not sure that we've actually got it configured exactly correctly. So it would be extremely helpful if Jetty users could try it out and let us know if there are issues with it.
