Installing JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack
JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack (JBDSIS) is packaged as a plug-in for JBoss Developer Studio installations. It contains numerous, individual plug-ins, including the Fuse and SwitchYard tooling. You can download JBDSIS through JBoss Central, and then install all of the plug-ins it contains or only a select few. For more details, see Product Documentation for Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack.
Once installed, you may need to complete additional configuration tasks before you can use the individual JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack components.
Here are some general tips to follow:
- Honor all XML schema locationsAfter installation, go to
and disable Honor all XML schema locations. This prevents erroneous XML validation errors from appearing onswitchyard.xmlfiles. - DTD warningImporting SwitchYard quickstarts into JBoss Developer Studio results in non-fatal warnings regarding
log4j.dtd. You can safely ignore them. To stop receiving the warning, make sure that either thelog4j.xmlorlog4j.propertiesfile is present before starting a project. - JavaSE-1.6 error messageWhen commencing a project, the warning "Build path specifies execution environment JavaSE-1.6" may appear. To disable this warning, go to your Java preferences and ensure that JavaSE-1.7 or JavaSE-1.8 is checked to support JavaSE-1.6 environments.
