How do I Install JBoss AS / WildFly Server in Eclipse for Java EE

When I went to the "new server wizard" I can't find the category for JBoss AS.

When I clicked "Download new server adapter" I don't get any JBoss AS adapter in the list.

Solution 1:

Install the most recent JBoss Tools.

• Go to Help > Install New Software.

• Set Work with to the following URL depending on Eclipse version:

  • 4.8+ (Photon): https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/
  • 4.7 (Oxygen): http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/oxygen/stable/updates/
  • 4.6 (Neon): https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/stable/updates/
  • 4.5 (Mars): http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/
  • 4.4 (Luna): http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/

  • 4.2 (Juno): http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/juno/
  • 3.7 (Indigo): http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/indigo/

This will get you the JBoss-provided AS and EAP server plugins, along with several easing JSF development plugins, such as EL autocompletion.
