If you are new to modeling and UML as well as Enterprise Architect, or otherwise want a rapid review of the process of modeling with Enterprise Architect, go to the Quickstart Tutorial.

Changes for Hibernate 3.5 applications

if your application uses Hibernate 3 classes that are not available in Hibernate 4, for example, some of the validator or search classes, you may see ClassNotFoundExceptions when you deploy your application. If you encounter this problem, you can try one of two approaches: You may be able to resolve the issue by copying the specific Hibernate 3 JARs containing those classes into the application "/lib" directory or by adding them to the classpath using some other method. In some cases this may result in ClassCastExceptions or other class loading issues due to the mixed use of the Hibernate versions, so you will need to use the second approach. You need to tell the server to use only the Hibernate 3 libraries and you will need to add exclusions for the Hibernate 4 libraries. Details on how to do this are described here: JPA Reference Guide.

In previous versions of the application server, the JCA data source configuration was defined in a file with a suffix of *-ds.xml. This file was then deployed in the server's deploy directory. The JDBC driver was copied to the server lib/ directory or packaged in the application's WEB-INF/lib/ directory. In AS7, this has all changed. You will no longer package the JDBC driver with the application or in the server/lib directory. The *-ds.xml file is now obsolete and the datasource configuration information is now defined in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml or in the domain/configuration/domain.xml file. A JDBC 4-compliant driver can be installed as a deployment or as a core module. A driver that is JDBC 4-compliant contains a META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file that specifies the driver class name. A driver that is not JDBC 4-compliant requires additional steps, as noted below.

DataSource Configuration

domain mode, the configuration file is the domain/configuration/domain.xml

standalone mode, you will configure the datasource in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

MySQL datasource element:

        <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/YourApplicationURL</connection-url>        <driver-class> com.mysql.jdbc.Driver </driver-class>        <driver> mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar </driver>

       <security>            <user-name> USERID </user-name>            <password> PASSWORD</password>        </security>

example of the driver element for driver that is not JDBC 4-compliant. The driver-class must be specified since it there is no META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file that specifies the driver class name.

 <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>

JDBC driver can be installed into the container in one of two ways: either as a deployment or as a core module

Install the JDBC driver

Install the JDBC driver as a deployment

In AS7 standalone mode, you simply copy the JDBC 4-compliant JAR into the AS7_HOME/standalone/deployments directory

example of a MySQL JDBC driver installed as a deployment:     AS7_HOME/standalone/deployments/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar

Is there an UML editor for Eclipse? An Eclipse Modelling project-based UML editor can be installed from the Eclipse update site "Modelling > UML2 Tools SDK". See Creating UML 2 diagrams with Eclipse UML2 Tools - Tutorial for an introduction.

How do I debug Eclipse? How can I see what plug-ins are being started? Why aren't the plug-ins I installed showing up in the UI? How do I start the OSGi console?

Debugging OSGi Bundle Loading Issues There are a few flags you can pass to Eclipse on the commandline or in your eclipse.ini file that might help: -consolelog - log everything in workspace/.metadata/.log to the console where you launched Eclipse as well -debug - more verbose console output -console - start the Equinox OSGi console to interact with OSGi directly -noexit - when Eclipse closes, keep the OSGi console running until you type 'exit' or hit CTRL-C so you can keep debugging See Where Is My Bundle? for an overview of how to use the OSGi console for diagnosing problems.

Debugging Eclipse Using Eclipse You can also debug an Eclipse instance from another instance through remote debugging: Start the instance to be debugged with "-vmargs -Xdebug -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000". You should see a message like "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000" Open Run → Debug Configurations... and create a Remote Java Application configuration with connection type "Socket Attach" and connecting to the client at port 8000. Set the project to a bundle project with the right dependencies for the bundles that you are trying to debug. Launch the configuration. The JDWP agent supports other useful arguments, like "suspend=n" so that the process does not suspend. For more details, see Oracle's Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) connection docs.

I just installed Eclipse on my 64-bit system, but it does not start. What is the problem? Make sure that you have downloaded the 64-bit version of Eclipse (it should have x86_64 somewhere in its name) and have installed a 64-bit JVM. Likewise, if you run a 32-bit JVM, then you should use the 32-bit version of Eclipse.

When I start Eclipse it says "Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one.", what should I do? There are a couple of things you can try. Delete the workspace/.metadata/.lock file. Check your running processes to make sure there aren't any remaining Java or Eclipse processes running. When in doubt, restart your computer. :) Try starting Eclipse on a different workspace (from the workspace selection dialog, or by using a command line argument like -data /home/user/tmp-workspace), then switch back to your original workspace.

How do I uninstall a plug-in? You can view your list of installed software by checking your installation details from about dialog. Help > About > Installation Details

I'm having memory, heap, or permgen problems, what can I do? FAQ How do I increase the heap size available to Eclipse? FAQ How do I increase the permgen size available to Eclipse?

Eclipse seems to be hanging on startup. How can I find out why? If none of the solutions outlined in this section reveal the problem, then you can try debugging an Eclipse instance as a debug target from another Eclipse instance. This is surprisingly easy: Start Eclipse in a "new" blank workspace (e.g., C:\TEMP\WS, or /tmp) Create a new Debug configuration: Run -> Debug Configurations; then click on "Eclipse Applications" and select the New Launch Configuration. If you believe it's something about a particular workspace, then set the workspace to your normal workspace. If you believe the hang is caused by a particular plugin, disable the plugin and verify. Launch and then see. Using this approach, you can break with the debugger to see where hangs are occurring. You can also change the selection of plugins that the instance is launched with.

I was working on a project and doing something or other does not work. Where should I start? Try refreshing your projects. Try cleaning your your projects using the menu item Project/Clean to trigger a rebuild. Try closing/reopening your projects. Try restarting Eclipse.

4.2 Where are Eclipse's log files located?

Where are Eclipse's log files located? <workspace>/.metadata/.log You can view this workspace log as a view if you have PDE installed on your computer (which you would if you have downloaded the Eclipse SDK). You can open that view via Window -> Show View -> Other -> PDE Runtime -> Error Log. <eclipse install>/configuration/<sometimestamp>.log <eclipse install>/configuration/org.eclipse.update/install.log

Where are Eclipse preferences stored?

Where are update site bookmarks stored? It is within an XML file called <user_home>/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.2/configuration/org.eclipse.update/bookmarks.xml. Your Eclipse version may vary.
