Can't start server on Eclipse 2024-03

Submitted by Jason Warner on Fri, 05/31/2024 - 14:13

couldn't find a better place to log an issues.

when installed in 2023-09, WDT 9.x works as expected. When upgrading Eclipse in-place or installing WDT on fresh 2024-03 Eclipse - WDT will not start/stop server. Error indicates a provided class was removed/replaced during the upgrade (maybe?)

WAS 9.x on Eclipse 2023-09 on always on Starting status

Submitted by Francisco Javi… on Mon, 04/22/2024 - 16:53

I have Eclipse 2023-09 with plugin installing manually with wdt-update-site_23.2.v20231128_1051.zip. When I add Websphere 9.0 profile I always get warning indicating to have at least java version 8.0 or I will have IPC or SOAP connectivity issues. Later if I finished the installation, when I start WebSphere gets on 'Starting' status and doesn't allow to open the Administrative console, unless I go through my browser, or deploy applications.

If I change on eclipse.ini to java 8.0, javaw.exe file that comes with Websphere 9.x, Eclipse doesn't start and indicates that I should use java 17. Is any way to resolve at least this connectivity issue? Instructions don't seem to be updated on https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/wasdtfe considering the gap of java versions between Eclipse and WebSphere..

Wsadmin Scripting

Submitted by Victor Barcan on Mon, 09/18/2023 - 10:30

On earlier versions of this plugin it was possible to code jython script for was administration. It would also required another plugin, Pydev. I have used it exetensively for was v8.5. Is it still possibel to do it for the current version of this plugin? I have hard time to guess tjhe right eclipse/pydeve/Websphere developer tools , combination

Hi Victor, Although we've…

Submitted by Matt Colegate on Thu, 02/15/2024 - 07:25

Although we've not tested this, I don't see why not - jython is still supported for WAS scripting https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was/9.0.5?topic=scripting-using-wsadmin-jython

In terms of version to use, I'm also guessing, but I think you should use Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers 2023-12, WDT 23.2 and Pydev 12 - I managed to install those but haven't used it in anger. I followed the instructions for 'Installing from the update site' on the Pydev installation instructions page.

I don't think WDT would run on LiClipse because I think it's based on Eclipse for Java Developers and WDT needs the extra plugins for Enterprise Java to work.

Breaks Maven Projects

Submitted by Ken Lim on Mon, 07/24/2023 - 17:04

The plugin is breaks maven nature in eclipse 2023-03.

I start with a brand new eclipse installation and simply install this plugin.

Then maven nature gets corrupted and none of the Maven projects works.

Thanks for this - we are aware of breakages of this nature with Eclipse 2023-06 but not Eclipse 2023-03.

Can you please supply the link you downloaded Eclipse 2023-03 from and we will attempt to recreate this.
