Maven Integration broken
Submitted by David Oteo on Tue, 10/03/2023 - 03:34
This plugin breaks Maven integration as soon as you install it in any of the latetest versions of Eclipse. Maven menu just disappears from the IDE. I hope this will be fixed someday soon.

Hi , this is the same as the problem described below - I can copy the answer here too, this should work around the problem until Eclipse release the fix
Hi,
This I believe is a problem with Eclipse itself (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=582183). You will likely see errors like this in the log file
"org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.jst.server.preview.adapter [529]"
Can you edit the following file: `configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info`
And add this line to the file (anywhere should work but I tested putting it at the end of the file)
jakarta.enterprise.cdi-api,2.0.2,plugins/jakarta.enterprise.cdi-api_2.0.2.jar,4,false
This should put back the missing dependency which fixed a bunch of problems (maven integration being one of them)

Today, as part of the plugin installation through Eclipse 2020-06 R, download of most JAR files seems to work except few files whose size is above 30 MB. Even when the download was tried from browser, those files could not be downloaded fully.
The files which failed to download were:
1. com.ibm.helpwar.doc_1.0.0.v20121212_0720.jar (35,190,973)
2. com.ibm.rational.ttt.common.models.core_9.0.100.v20160212_2300.jar (34,086,041)

But we also noted that some files which were more than 30 MB could be downloded qucikly. Like:
com.ibm.websphere.v85.core_1.0.200.v20200826_1754.jar (47,107,222)

Eclipse 2020-09 or above does not support Java SE 8. WebSphere Application Server V8.5x Developer Tools only works on Eclipse IDE releases up to and including 2020-06 at the moment.

This plugin is not compatible with Eclipse v4.17 (2020-09) which supports only Java 11.
Is there a plan to fix this?

Some plugin files have long file pathname and they exceed Windows 256 pathname length limitation, this makes it difficult to move files around, you have to use special tools to cope with it , would you please remedy this in new release, thanks!

I can´t deploy/publish maven and gradle projects. Does the plugin support these types of projects? How could I make it work?

Could not initialize class com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCFilter WorkAround

To workaround "Could not initialize class com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCFilter" Run Eclipse on IBM Java JRE.
Eclipse Neon with IBM JRE

In reply to Could not initialize class com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCFilter WorkAround by Fabio Mazzo
The IBM JAVA JRE from WebSphere 8.5 is 1.6. Eclipse Neon requires 1.8 JRE. So, cannot run it.

Any other suggestion?
Websphere Application Server randomly stops
Submitted by Richard Baldauf on Mon, 09/26/2016 - 08:08
The application server stops randomly and with the IBM Support we found out that the stop for the application server is sent from an local address.
It isn't stopped by myself.
If I work for ours with my applications on the WAS it works perfect, but then it could be that the server all 5 Minutes is stopped and I have to restart it.
With this output we could see that the shutdown is sent from local:

Is there a way to get a debug log from Plugin or can you give me a hint what I have to do that this doesn't happen?

Getting An internal error occurred during: "Publishing to WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5 at localhost...". Could not initialize class com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCFilter error whenever I restart my server. Only way to resolve I could find is to restart eclipse.

Generate web service router is not available in ejb file context
Excellent but something is missing or can't find it in the plugi
Submitted by Hisham Ragheb on Sun, 02/28/2016 - 05:30
When I right click my ear project in eclipse and choose to run my application the application is published and deployed on the server but web services are not published. I know in webspehere to publish my web services I must run endPtEnabler over my ear file before installation on the server to amend the ear file and add required websphere artifacts for web services.
As a work around for now, I had to generate the ear and apply endPtEnabler, and I wrote jython script to be used in eclipse run configuration to install/update the application, However, this is painful to do with every change since changes are not hot deployed and I had to install the ear and run the jython script for every change to be updated on the server.
Is there a way to configure eclipse plugin to publish web services directly when running the application through Run in the application context??
