WebLogic Server Tools 1.1 Certified on WTP 2.0.1

WebLogic Server Tools team has just finished certifying the 1.1 release
of WLS Tools on Eclipse 3.3.1 and Web Tools Platform 2.0.1. We recommend
that all WLS Tools 1.1 users move up to these service releases to gain
access to numerous bugs fixes.

https://dev2devclub.bea.com/updates/eclipse-3.3/wls-plugins/

I imagine WLS Tools is similar to these plugins in purpose, but I have not used these plugins myself so I do not know for sure. Unlike these older plugins, WLS Tools is based on Eclipse Web Tools Platform and the code base for what makes up WLS Tools originates from BEA Workshop for WebLogic product.
Really, the key to using WLS Tools is getting familiar with Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP). Most of the following resources will be framed in terms of deploying to Tomcat. You can just use WLS instead of Tomcat where referenced in the articles and tutorials.

WebLogic Server Tools 1.1.3 Released

A service release for WebLogic Server Tools is now available. The focus
of this release was to fix several remaining issues affecting current
users and to certify WLS Tools on Eclipse Europa SP2 that was released
at the end of February. We recommend that all current users migrate to
this release by using the Eclipse update manager. More information
about this release can be found in the release notes.

Release Notes
https://dev2devclub.bea.com/updates/wls-tools/release-notes/v1.1.3.html
The Eclipse 3.4 "Ganymede" version of WebLogic Server Tools has also
been updated. Version 2.0.2 is now available and has been tested with
Ganymede M5 milestone build. Of course, since Ganymede platform is still
under development we don't recommend this version for most users, but
early adopters with tolerance for pre-release stability can get a sneak
peak of what's coming in the next Eclipse release.

Team Lead for WebLogic Server Tools

WebLogic Server Tools is built on Eclipse Web Tools Platform which has a
particular project structure that has to be followed. Basically, you
create an EAR project. This contains your app-level descriptors,
APP-INF/lib and any binary modules. Then, for every module in an EAR,
you create a separate project. For web module, use the Dynamic Web
Project. For EJB modules, there is an EJB project. The projects are
wired up using the "J2EE Module Dependencies" project properties page.
Use this page on the EAR project to specify which module projects should
be included in the EAR. Once you've done that, you can use this page in
the module projects to specify inter-module dependencies.
Basically, you have to take your app and convert it into the form that
Eclipse can understand. The easiest way to do that is to create the
projects based on the module structure of your app and then copy content
from your application into those projects. Once you are done, you will
be able to use WebLogic Server Tools to deploy to WLS. The split
directory magic will happen behind the scenes to give you a fast
iterative development experience.
Hope this answers your questions.

Eclipse Indigo JEE M7 could not install Oracle Weblogic Server Tools

Hi,
Anyone managed to install Oracle Weblogic Server Tools plugins on Eclipse Indigo JEE M7?
It appears that Oracle Weblogic Server Tools depends on EMF Core 2.6 while Indigo JEE M7 packages EMF Core 2.7.
Will the Oracle Weblogic Server Tools be updated at http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/indigo/wtp/ to have same EMF core dependency as Eclipse Indigo?
Thanks !

The current tech preview release of OEPE for Indigo is targeted at Indigo M6. It looks like component versions changed in M7, making the current tech preview incompatible with M7. The official support for Indigo will ship in early to mid July.

WebLogic Server Tools 1.1.1 Released

WebLogic Server Tools team has just put finishing touches on another
release. This is mainly a service release that fixes a number of
important bugs. We recommend that all current users migrate to this
release by using the Eclipse update manager. More information about this

On a related note, we now have support for Eclipse 3.4 "Ganymede"
platform which is currently under development. This is accomplished via
a separate version of WebLogic Server Tools that's released in parallel
with the existing Eclipse 3.3 "Europa" version. So version 2.0 of WLS
Tools is the 1.1.1 equivalent for Ganymede. Since Ganymede platform is
still under development we don't recommend this version for most users,
but early adopters with tolerance for pre-release stability can get a
sneak peak of what's coming in the next Eclipse release.

Hello,
WLS Tools only works with the the admin server.
Interactive development against a managed server is a little different, because they require the admin server during startup and deployment is also a little different with a managed server
is there a specific reason why you are trying to run against a managed server ?
Thanks

We are happy to announce the 1.1 release of WebLogic Server Tools for Eclipse 3.3. This release contains two major new features as well as 28 bug fixes and enhancements. One of these new features is a direct result of community input. Thanks for helping us make WLS Tools a better product and we hope that you will give the 1.1 release try.

Weblogic 8.1 and Eclipse using Weblogic Server Tools

I am working on a project that has been developed with Weblogic 8.1 without integration into an IDE (Eclipse, etc.) We are trying to convert the source tree to a form usable within Eclipse using Weblogic Server Tools. We want to make deployment on developer workstations quicker and easier and provide for server side debugging. There is not much documentation on how to do this that I have been able to find. I have just finished reading the details of the split directory strucuture in the Weblogic documentation and understand that Server Tools uses the split directory concept. My question is basically how we create the project in Eclipse (with Server Tools plug-ins) initially. Is anyone out there still using Weblogic 8.1 and Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) using Weblogic Server Tools that can help?

There isn't much in a way of documentation that's explicit to WebLogic Server Tools, but a lot of Workshop 10.2 documentation applies. Basically, you will want to create Dynamic Web Projects to house your code. On the first page of Dynamic Web Project wizard, you will get a chance to define and target a server (WLS 8.1 in your case). That will configure your project classpath for WLS 8.1 and get everything else squared away.
Note that there is only very basic support for 8.1. In particular, the split-directory concept is not supported, but deployment is taken care of for you behind the scenes, so the details shouldn't matter that much.

Dependency conflicts when installing WebLogic Server Tools in Eclipse Juno

Installing the WebLogic Server Tools in Eclipse (Juno) on Windows 7, 64 bit cannot be completed. Eclipse is up to date and several other plugins are installed.
When installing the server tools, either via the Marketplace or the Server view -> New Server -> Download additional server adapters it fails because of incompatible dependencies. The error message is:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

Eclipse + Oracle WebLogic Server Tools - stuck during publishing

Hello,
I'm experiencing a problem publishing to my application server in Eclipse, and would very much appreciate any help given.
Server: WebLogic 10gR3
Eclipse: Ganymede JEE SR2
Oracle WebLogic Server Tools: 1.2.0.200907171310
OS: Windows XP 32 bit
JVM: Sun 6u13
In my workspace:
- Several Java projects
- Several EJB projects
- Several web projects
- One connector project
- One EAR project, referencing all other projects as its JEE modules
- One WebLogic server in my "Servers" view, defined to deploy my EAR project
Summary of my problem:
Sometimes, and it seems pretty random, when starting the server - the "Publishing to Oracle WebLogic server" operation would never stop (can be seen in the "Progress" view). As a result, Eclipse is essentially stuck, as all other operations, such as saving a file etc', would not be performed since they would be waiting for the publish operation to complete.
I did notice that a trigger for this is a deployment failure, such as a badly-defined application-module-datasource, or a failed startup task, but I have also experienced this with a good deployment as well.
I am, literally, clueless. I have tried the new Galileo but it's too buggy, had some weird phenomenons there, and I have also tried the OEPE Galileo preview and got some weird phenomenons there as well.
Again, your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Create separate WebLogic Server Tools forum?

Can Oracle/BEA finally create a separate forum for WebLogic Server Tools for Eclipse? Having WST and Workshop messages mixed together makes it very difficult to find relevant posts, as they are completely different products.
Thank you!
Ari

Yes, that's right. The features from WLS Tools are being included as a component of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE). OEPE's Weblogic Server Support will contain the functionality that you are familiar with in WLS Tools with some new enhancements as well, such as support for Eclipse Ganymede.
We are currently testing the first version of OEPE and expect to release it by
mid-August.
Please post any OEPE-related questions to the OEPE Forum that was recently
created.

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with WLS Tools. We
will investigate the issue you've reported as soon as possible. To make
the investigation move along more smoothly, can I ask you to open a bug

Can any body help me in creating a jar using Weblogic server tool

I have created the class files of the container manged bean successfully.I want to create the jar file using the weblogic tool.
I have created a new jar file and now I have to add a bean class file and a home class file to it.In the tool I choose a the path using the choose button.When I say next it complaints that it cannot locate the bean files.
Can any body please help me soon..
waiting for your reply.

I had similar problems with the WLS deploy tool. I think they were solved by making sure that I started the tool from the directory that contained the root package of my EJBs.
It might work...

Adding weblogic server to eclipse

I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 in my machine. I have checked out my project and now trying to add this to the app server. I went to server folder, right clicked
Server - > Select Server under wizard - > select server -> next -> i see a list of servers.
When i click oracle under the New Server my oracle weblogic is not listed. I can just see Oracle OC4J Standalone Server 10.1.3 and 10.1.3n. What should i do so my server is listed and i select them?

Legacy OC4J plugins ship with Eclipse, but to work with WebLogic Server, you need to install Oracle plugins or start with one of the pre-assembled Eclipse distros that you can find on OEPE download site. Given your current setup, perhaps the easiest way to get WebLogic Server Tools is to follow the "download additional server adapters" link in the "New Server Runtime Environment" wizard.

How to create a server through WLST ( Weblogic Scripting Tool ) ?

How to create a server through WLST ( Weblogic Scripting Tool ) ?
Thanks in advance...
Sanjay

Hi Murugesh,
Thanks a lot for you reply..
I was able to create a server using create(). Is it possible to clone a server ?
When i create a server following tags is added to config.xml
<server>
<name>testServer_lab1</name>
<listen-port>43000</listen-port>
</server>
And if i do a clone through admin console, following is added to config.xml
<server>
<name>testServer2_lab1</name>
<machine xsi:nil="true"></machine>
<listen-port>7001</listen-port>
<cluster xsi:nil="true"></cluster>
<listen-address></listen-address>
<graceful-shutdown-timeout>120</graceful-shutdown-timeout>
</server>
If incase, cloning is not possible through WLST, can i add following
<machine xsi:nil="true"></machine>
<listen-port>7001</listen-port>
<cluster xsi:nil="true"></cluster>
<listen-address></listen-address>
<graceful-shutdown-timeout>120</graceful-shutdown-timeout>
under <server> tag which is created through WLST ?
I am using 9.2 version.
