This is a question about Eclipse 5.1 All in One package.
To configure the JBOSS application server in MyEclipse, I selected the already available “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA” entry as the “JBoss JDK name”.
In “Installed JREs”, “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA” refers to the location “C:\Program Files\MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA”.
However, “C:\Program Files\MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA” does not contain any file called “javac.exe”, so why is “C:\Program Files\MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA” accepted as a valid JDK?
That is a bug with the handling of the default JRE (It accepts it as a JDK, and shouldn’t). You should actually click “Add” and configure a JDK manually (what we ship to run MyEclipse is the JRE, not JDK). Sorry about that confusion.
Thanks for your clarification.
But could you explain why JBoss 4.0.5 runs my jsp pages with “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 5.1.0 GA” set as JDK without any problems? (running jsp’s requires javac.exe if I’m correct; also note that I don’t have any “JAVA_HOME” envirmonmental variable set on my computer)
It’s likely finding another full JDK on your machine, likely on your PATH or through an environment variable.
loester,
Starting with Tomcat 5.5, the Tomcat team added the Eclipse JDT’s java compiler directly into Tomcat, so it’s possible to run Tomcat without a JDK and still have it compile the JSPs. I believe by default the servlet container in JBoss *is* Tomcat, which is why that may be working. Just a guess.
