I am a
JBoss newbie. I have now cut my teeth on deploying to JBoss 5.1.0.GA.
I now want to set up a JBoss 5.1.0.GA instance for development in combination with Eclipse Helios (+
Maven).
My goal is to be able to hot-step/debug through
Java code while running the server in a development environment.
What is the best way to achieve this environment?
1. using a JBoss plugin to Eclipse (JBoss Tools?)?
or
running a free standing JBoss instance, referencing it in Eclipse, and running it that way?
These two options would seem similar to those available for Eclipse development on
Tomcat.
And is there a decent JBoss 5.1 server or Eclipse plugin to run on Windows XP? otherwise I'll use something that will run on Linux.
