Activiti BPM works with Eclipse neon? - java

I am new to Java development and working with Activiti BPM.
I am getting started with them.
Activiti BPM says its verified with Eclipse Kepler. However I am using Eclipse Neon currently. I am trying to install Activiti plugin. It says it has to uninstall some plugins like Hana Cloud Plugins to continue with installation.
However I need both the plugins. So thought of using Eclipse Kepler to use Activiti BPM. But it supports till Apache Server 7 only ( and I have Apache 9 with Eclipse Neon )
Please suggest me a possible solution
1) Use Different eclipses to work with Hana Cloud Platform tools, Activiti BPM (Is it possible to setup multiple Apache Servers in same pc like Apache7 and Apache 9)
2) Can be done in Same Eclipse
May be its a quite silly question, please guide me as i am beginner.

Of Course it does!!
I have installed activiti with Eclipse Neon and Apache tomcat 8/9 and it works pretty well.
I have also written a super detailed blog post on this, which starting from the setup, shows how to create not one but two fully working (although, simple) workflows.
You can check it out here and see if it helps.

I've just found this http://bpmn20inaction.blogspot.com.es/2015/08/activiti-designer-5180-released.html
There is a comment on the page saying this:
"Hi Maxence, I've moved on to the Flowable project (http://flowable.org). You can find an updated Designer (with Mars and Neon support) on http://flowable.org/designer/update"
I haven't had time to test it yet (I'll try later at the office)
I hope it helps

Not able to create Dynamic web project in Eclipse Luna

I have installed Eclipse Luna for windows 64 bit. But I am not able to create a new Dynamic Web Project. I also installed Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development , but still it shows only Static Web Project inside Web projects.
Is there anything else to be installed ?
you need the Web Tools Platform package for this
add it to your eclipse through Help > install new software.
Then add the software repository site location for WTP for your version of eclipse.
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
I think the accepted answer is not the recommended solution. In Luna you should install Web Tools Platform via the Luna download site, not the WTC download site.
Here are the instructions:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F
Here is what happens if you use WTP site:
Can't install WTP (Web Tools Platform) in Eclipse - something about missing dependencies...?
Yes, I see that the asker says he has done this, so I guess the accepted answer worked for him, but I think people should try this recommended method first.
You need to go to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo or luna or whatever version of eclipse you are using and select Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development.

creating a TomCat 6.0 Web Application

I am trying to create a small Java application using Tomcat and am having some trouble getting started. Are there any resources online that can point me in the right direction? I've tried http://www.online-etraining.com/creating-a-tomcat-web-application but it's saying to use version 5.x of TomCat. I am currently running Eclipse with TomCat 6.0 on a Windows 7 machine. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sebastian
I suggest you use Eclipse Web Tools (WTP) 'Dynamic Web Project'
I've already covered how to set it up here ->
How do I properly deploy and structure projects in Eclipse against Tomcat?
It also talks about Tomcat 5.5, but that is because the OP there asked about that particular version. It actually works the same with 6.0 and even 7.0
I've covered how to get WTP installed here -> Integrating Tomcat7 and Eclipse Helios on Snow Leopard
This is also just for tomcat 5, but the steps should be similar:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-tomcat/index.html
For my website, which is a Java Web App, I started of with http://static.springsource.org/docs/Spring-MVC-step-by-step/. Although, I'm not sure of you're planning to use MVC or not, but I highly recommend it.

Building example code using asant

I'm studying java web services and trying to follow the oracle tutorial but it tells me to build and deploy the example code using asant. I've looked high and low and I can't find it. It doesn't seem to be included with Glassfish any more. I'm using Glassfish version 3, JDK 1.6.
Can anybody tell me where it is or how to get it?
Thanks in advance.
asant shipped with the GlassFish 2 releases. It was a wrapper that included a number of convenience tasks.
As the team that Sun used to develop GlassFish shrank, some 'features' of the releases were pruned from the GlassFish 3 development work. Asant was one of those features.
Your best bet may be to follow the Web Services section of the Java EE 6 Tutorial. It will be more up-to-date with the current state of the art.
asant is a command line using apache ant, it helps you to build your project using ant, you have to write a build.xml file, and then run the command asant
http://download.java.net/general/open-esb/docs/jbi-ant-targets-reference/target-help/usage.html
Yes I know what it is and what it is supposed to do but I can't find it in my distribution
of glassfish, where it is supposed to be. – ac7web
if you have it installed it should be in: glassfish-Install-Folder/bin

Does Netbeans version 6.9.1 support SOA plugin?

I need to create a BPEL project but I can't find SOA plugin to install it. Can someone tell how can I add SOA plugin to my Netbeans version?
From a NetBeans Formus post via a mailing list it appears that the short answer is no.
It appears that the last version of NetBeans that supported the Sun-distributed SOA plugin was NetBeans 6.5, with dubious support on 6.7.
Oracle appears to be killing off competitors to their SOA Suite 11g. Unfortunate because NetBeans was oh-so-nice, and I have had only painful and awkward experiences with JDeveloper. I was just looking for an alternative SCA tool to SOA Suite in NetBeans and it seems that links to any NetBeans/Glassfish related Service Component Architecture type software have been methodically removed.
Try this:
1. Netbeans 6.X > 6.5 install normally.
2. Go to "Tools -> Plugins" to create a new "Update Center"
3. Click on "Add" and enter the URL: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.8/uc/m1/dev/catalog.xml.

Which Eclipse IDE version to choose?

How do I find which Eclipse version I have on my Ubuntu system?
This is what "About Eclipse SDK" says.
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343
I am not sure if its the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or the Eclipse Classic version.
What I would like to do is use Eclipse for
Java based Web Application Development
Ant Builds
Deploy using Tomcat
including HTML, CSS Editing
Please help me decide which version I should choose? I would like to upgrade my Eclipse setup from whatever version it is now to a version that supports all the above. Should I go for Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers?
Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.
Please suggest.
See Compare Eclipse Packages for a nice chart
What I would like to do is use Eclipse for (...)
The Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers allows to do what you're asking for out of the box.
Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.
Both would work, although it would be simpler to just get directly the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (especially if you don't know exactly what plugin(s) you're looking for). Personally, I don't use the version you can get from the repository but download Eclipse from the official website and install it in user mode.
If you are using Eclipse for only Enterprise Development, then as everybody has recommended I would use the Eclipse Java EE version. If you plan on occasionally using it for other development purposes then I would consider downloading a separate classic version as well.
The reason for this is that everybody is well aware of eclipse's plugin capabilities. Unfortunately, Eclipse can get bogged down with too many plugins or add on tools. What I have experienced is that if you are using it for Enterprise Development(J2EE) it might be a good idea to keep that as a separate environment then your other Java Development. That way you can download the plugins,tools,libraries,etc for your enterprise development, and you can use your classic version for any other development you might need.
The downside is you will have two versions, but this is not a problem granted you do not run them simultaneously.
If you want to play with Web development, then the Eclipse java EE for Developers is for you. It is shipped with components to make Java Enterprise applications to create Enterprise Applications (and bundle it in an Enterprise ARchiver, known as EAR file or Web ARchive, known as WAR file).
The default Eclipse shipping with Ubuntu is the Classic version, and you can add more plugins.
I would recommend, however, to download th eJEE version manually and unzip it and run. Then you have a local installation outside the system files.
