JBoss IDE
• JBoss IDE is a plug-in used by Eclipse to develop J2EE
applications.
• J2EE applications are very large and consists of large number of
programs distributed across directories.
• In order to organize these files, J2EE has lots of configuration
files.
• When we write J2EE programs ourself, then we have to write all
these configuration files.
• JBoss IDE helps in writing and maintaining this configuration files
for the programmer.

JBoss IDE Features
• Wizards to ease and simplify J2EE development.
• Integrated debugging, monitoring, and life cycle control of
JBoss servers.
• JSP, HTML, and XML editors with syntax highlighting
• Easy configuration and deployment of package services
• Automatically create JAR, EAR and WAR files.
• Well integrated with Eclipse 3.1
• Open source software (freely available).

XDoclet
• When we develop J2EE applications, for each component
(EJB), there need to be several support classes.
• These classes acts as interface for the users.
• XDoclet provides features write these component classes
when a bean is created.
• XDoclet is an open source intiative.
• JBossIDE uses XDoclet feature to create support classes for
beans.

JBoss Server
• We will deploy our application using JBoss Server.
• JBoss server has two components:
– JBoss Application Server
• Which handles EJBs
– Tomcat Web Server
• Which handles servlets and JSP pages.
• But we get an integrated view and need not worry about where
Apache is running or JBoss is running.

– Enterprise wide Java Applications
– Web applications
– Portals
• JBoss Application server supports EJB 3.0 standard.
