I am getting started with AWS plugin for Eclipse (Juno)
I've seen that it is possible to deploy some app on Amazon Elastic BeanStalk, which is great, but I'd prefer to deploy it directly to a specific EC2 instance (mostly for cost optimisation)
Has anyone done that before, or will I have to write my own Eclipse plugin to do so ?
According to :
http://blog.rajithdelantha.com/2011/10/complete-guide-to-deploy-java-web.html , creating an EC2 server (to be used like a Tomcat) is possible, but I can't find the option, I just have Tomcat6/7 for EBS.
With an EC2 server you can run whatever web server you want, it's basically just a VM. You could run Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss, etc. Almost all of those web servers have plugins or tools to enable deployment from Eclipse which are completely independent of Amazon. For example, if you choose to setup Tomcat on your EC2 server then you could follow these (there may be newer) instructions.

I need to state up front that I am not a Java developer. So it is fair to assume that I know very little about the tooling etc. that Java dev's will be naturally familiar with.
So, I have created a Jersey web api (2.25.1) on my home server running Windows 2012. It serves data to a Xamarin application. I need to deploy this to a Linux server (Ubuntu) on AWS which my friend spun up.
At the moment, the only access I have is via SSH (Putty).
Tomcat (and Glassfish) have been installed on the Linux machine.
How do I go about deploying that application to that AWS server?
The official Jersey documentation seems to be MIA, and my Googling efforts don't yield much. There's a lot of SO questions with a similar title to this one. But I have not found any of the answers (and in many cases, questions) helpful to my cause.
Cheers
I assume that you are using maven to create your jersey web app .
Upon build you will get a *.war file .Copy the same to tomcat/webapps folder .
Start your tomcat then.
To take your file there on remote use winscp tool with your ssh credentials.
I need to deploy my Java application on Azure Cloud Service. I don't want the extra overhead that comes with managing my own machines using Azure VM, which is an IaaS, nor do I want to use App Service, since the max cores per machine is 4- My application is very compute intensive and I would like to use at least 16 cores per instance, which Azure Cloud Services provides(D5v2 instances).
My build system is Maven and I would like to use something like Codeship to build my .war and deploy it to Azure Cloud services(rather than using the Azure Eclipse SDK to manually Publish to Azure Cloud Services). I've spent hours on the Azure documentation, but haven't found any way of doing this.(Azure App Service has a simple 'upload a war to deploy' model. I dont know why the same isn't there for cloud services: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/web-sites-java-get-started/).
Remember that Cloud Services are the original deployment mechanism for Azure, dating back to 2010 (ok, 2009 if you want to count pre-production days). The .cspkg format is pretty much the same as it ever has been. The Web Apps deployment mechanism is completely different.
Eclipse (on Windows) has a specific plugin available for constructing .cspkg which you can then automate deploying, via PowerShell or CLI.
Alternatively, you can bundle your .war files within a .cspkg generated by Visual Studio, and then get things started within `OnStart(). Again, you can automate deployment from scripts - no need to ever publish directly from within an IDE.
Also: There's nothing stopping you from your automation process pushing .war files to blob storage (or somewhere else) and then sending your app some type of message letting it know to update itself. At that point, there's no redeployment of a .cspkg - rather, it's just downloading a new .war to running web/worker instances and restarting the java process.
#DylanColaco, As #DavidMakogon said, you can install the plugins named azure-tools-for-java for Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA to deploy your war file as web/worker role instance into cloud service.
And there is an offical tutorial which shows how to getstarted.
As references, you can refer to the article lists and a very helpful vedio at Channel 9 below.

Java Applications in Windows Azure Cloud Services using Eclipse
I created glassfish server in jelastic environment. Now I can import(upload and deploy) my application to it.
The question is: How can I export(download to computer) that deployed application from the server.
The best way for software development, in your case, is using the version control system. Jelastic supports deploy java project via GIT/SVN with Maven. With this solution, you will always have actual source code which can be deployed on Jelastic in any time.
Also, you can download your application using Direct SSH Access to the Container or SFTP/FISH Protocols.
I have a regular netty application server that runs on port 44080 and is built as a .jar file. I would like to use elastic beanstalk to manage the lifecycle of the application. Is there a way I can deploy the jar or something similar using elastic beanstalk?
It seems netty is currently not supported by elastic beanstalk. If your application can also run on Tomcat, you could do that - with Tomcat, you just need to enter some basic settings in the webinterface and you´ll get a fully working environment where you can upload jar files to.
If you need netty as a platform, you could try using Amazon OpsWorks. I never worked with it myself, but I know you can create your own "environment configurations" there. You´d basically create a few scripts to setup your server and deploy your application and OpsWorks lets you execute those through the web ui and also provides capabilites for auto-scaling, failover, etc. in OpsWorks environments.
There's nothing wrong about using Netty. In fact, one of our archetypes for AWS Elastic Beanstalk contains support for Dropwizard (by using Docker as its stack), thus not being dependent on a Java Web Container.
$ mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=elasticbeanstalk-docker-dropwizard
It might need a few tweaks, but the overall idea is to package all your dependencies into a zip file and deploy it. Also, make sure your Dockerfile EXPOSEs port 44080.
I want to check deploying procedure of my struts2 web application developed using eclipse juno on local tomcat server. I want to deploy it to a remote host like 000webhost. Can you provide me any information how to do that?
well, I run my application by typing
http://localhost:8080/Struts2starter/
on browser I want to run it by typing
http://myapp.com/Struts2starter
like something on browser. I wanted to know how to do it.
I don't believe you can deploy a Java application in 000webhost. For example, you can deploy on Google App Engine. Here is an example of how to do that: http://www.mkyong.com/google-app-engine/google-app-engine-struts-2-example/
It depends on server in question. Most servers provide some kind of remote deployment using manager applications / rmi connectors / whaever else exitic means , and eclipse can work with most of them. But of course it needs to be configured on both sides in order to work. Be more specific about your server config, and you will surely get proper answer
