  Installation

jdk:1.4.2 or 1.5.0 Download the installation from the http://java.sun.com , if the version of the WebLogic 8.x.x series, the JDK 1.4.2 version should be selected.

eclipse:3.1.2 from http://www.eclipse.org to download decompression

WebLogic Plugin Download from https://eclipse-plugin.projects.dev2dev.bea.com/

  tips for plug-in management of Eclipse usage tips

Hint: New Download plugin plugin must not be placed in the original Eclipse directory, a lot of tired you.

The premise is that you have installed the Eclipse tools, such as installed in the E:\OpenSource\Eclipse\ directory, the following directory to%eclipse_home%;

At this time the default plug-in is in the%eclipse_home%\plugins directory;

Create a pluginsnew directory under%eclipse_home%; for example: E:\OpenSource\Eclipse\PlugInsNew\

You have downloaded a new plugin, such as: XYZ

Then create the XYZ directory in the%eclipse_home%\pluginsnew\ directory, which is the Eclipse directory, and the Eclipse directory contains features and plugins two subdirectories, as shown in the following figure:

Put the downloaded new plugin file in the appropriate directory below

%eclipse_home%\pluginsnew\xyz\eclipse\features

%eclipse_home%\pluginsnew\ Xyz\eclipse\plugins

Create a file of related. Link

Then create a xyz.link file in the%eclipse_home%\links directory.

Content as follows: Path=e:/opensource/eclipse/pluginsnew/xyz on a line of such path instructions only.

In this way, if you download a number of plug-ins can be done to create a number of link files, want to load which plug-ins to put the plug-in link file to the%eclipse_home%\links directory can be, use and management are very convenient, it is recommended not to put in the default installation directory;

If your%eclipse_home% is different, please change the path in the Xyz.link file

Delete, close ECLIPSE 

Delete%eclipse_home%\links\xyz.link file

Delete%eclipse_home%\pluginsnew\xyz entire directory and file

restart Eclipse to use 

WebLogic plugin now has two versions 1.1.1 and 2.0.0. 1.1.1 Only can configure a server, and only provide the ability to start stop server, no redeploy, undeploy;2.0.0 can be configured more than one, you can redepoly, Undeploy, but there is no deploy function, and there is a big bug, It's just that every time you restart Eclipse, you reset the user and password. Friends interested in 1.1.1, can view: http://dev2dev.bea.com.cn/bbs/thread.jspa?forumID=124&threadID=34318&tstart=120 . The following is an introduction to the integration usage for version 2.0.0. and bug modifications.

  • Set the administrator name (the name of the user who has permission to start this server, such as the default WebLogic)
    
  • Set Password
  
  
  
• In the Classpath Configuration tab bar, you can set the following parameters:
• • Pre-startup WebLogic Classpath is a set of class libraries to be loaded before the WebLogic class library is loaded
  • Prost-startup WebLogic Classpath is a class library that is set to start loading after the WebLogic class library is loaded
    
    
    Note that the sequence is different, based on your project needs to be set up, after the eclipse, after the Java. class.path= will increase the number of these classpath in your settings
    
    
    
• In the Runtime Configuration tab bar, you can set the following parameters
• • JRE (The JDK you choose to use to start the WebLogic server, which can be configured in the menu windowèpreferencesèjavaèinstalled JREs, as stated above, Be careful to select the corresponding JDK that you want to support based on your WebLogic version.
    
  • VM arauments (sets the parameters to be passed to the JAVAVM, such as the maximum and minimum stack size, and in what mode starts the WebLogic Server, which we assume is started in product mode)
    
  • JNI Library Path (set the search path when you want to load JNI)
    
  • Run mode (set to start WebLogic Server in product mode or development mode)

• Menu Windowsèshow Viewèother ...

The following stop information is displayed at the console:

  Deploying, restarting, stopping applications

Deployment applications: Only through the browser to deploy new applications, not found here to directly deploy the place.

Reboot: If we deploy a Web application through a browser or other control.

At this time, through the plug-in stop WebLogic, and then start it, double-click to show the Web Appplication Modules, you can look at the following deployment of the application. However, slow to stop and then start.

The refresh feature that can be provided directly through the plug-in will show the deployed modules as follows:



At this point, to restart the application, as long as the application name above the right button, in the pop-up menu select redeploy can be redeployed application, fast.



Delete the application, as long as the application name above the right button, in the pop-up menu select Undeploy to remove the application, the module name immediately disappeared, fast, to redeploy again through the browser or other control to complete.



  Summarize

The functionality of this plug-in gives us the ability to easily integrate eclipse with weblogic development and improve efficiency.

Bug one, we should pay attention to.

When you restart eclipse after you close eclipse, you will be able to start WebLogic and you'll find the following error not starting, depressed:

<Critical>
<Security>
<BEA-090402>
<authentication denied:boot Identity not valid;
The user name and/or password from the boot identity file
(boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed

But the solution is simple, see the following picture of the information, this plugin in the user access to the time out of the problem, resulting in errors, every time you restart Eclipse, to modify the WebLogic profile, the inside of the user name with a password and then save the line.


Postscript
After the article was finished, I fixed the above bug, here is the focus of the resolution process: decompression, decompile, replace encryption method, compile, repackage, close eclipse, overwrite, restart:

1, WebLogic Plugin 2.0.0 configuration file is stored in the

The%eclipse_home%\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.bea.weblogic.eclipse\ directory
Dialog_settings.xml is a file that saves the size of the configuration dialog box
Servers.xml is the file that holds the server configuration information

Extract all the files from the Weblogic-eclipse.jar.

decompile Com\bea\weblogic\eclipse\utils\xmlutil.class Get Xmlutil.java 

Add two functions inside

/** * will Source for BASE64 Encoding * * @param source * @return/public static string buildBASE64 (String source) {if source   = = null) {return null; Return (new  Sun . Misc. Base64encoder ()). Encode (Source.getbytes ()); /** * Decodes BASE64 encoded string Base65code * * @param base65code * @return/public static string getFromBASE64 (S   Tring Base65code) {if (Base65code = null) {return null;   } base64decoder Base64decoder = new Base64decoder ();    try {byte[] b = Base64decoder.decodebuffer (Base65code);   return new String (b);    catch (Exception e) {e.printstacktrace ();   return null; } } 

Modify 

cserverinstall.setusername (in the public iserverinstall[] Loadservers (File serversfile) function ( Cryptoutil.getdefault (). Decrypt (New String (Base64util.base64tobytearray (Getnodevalue (celement)), id)); Is Cserverinstall.setusername (getFromBASE64 (Getnodevalue (celement))); Modify the Cserverinstall.setpassword (Cryptoutil.getdefault (). Decrypt (The new String Base64util.base64tobytearray ( Getnodevalue (celement))), (ID)); Is Cserverinstall.setpassword (getFromBASE64 (Getnodevalue (celement))); 

Modified in the public void Saveservers (Iserverinstall servers[],file serversfile) function

Org. Theconsortium

Compile this xmlutil.java get xmlutil.class, put Xmlutil.class back in Weblogic-eclipse.jar bag

Close Eclipse

Overwrite the weblogic-eclipse.jar file in the original plugin directory

Restart Eclipse

Enjoy ...
