How to add glassfish tools to eclipse oxygen 3a

Question

I downloaded Eclipse Oxygen but i don't get glassfish tools installed in this IDE.

It's a Oxygen 3A 64 bit running on a JDK 8 Update 172.

When i try to install the tools via Marketplace it states that the tools are not available.

Screenshot Marketplace

Here the Entry in the Eclipse Error Log for this:

The following solutions are not available: GlassFish Tools (id=oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.feature.group, site=http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/oxygen)

I already tried this: Glassfish Tools plugin for Eclipse Luna SR2 not working

and this: How to add GlassFish Server to Eclipse Oxygen?

Without success.

Any Ideas? Maybe the download location changed? But to where?

Answer 1

I found the Solution on the Oracle Website.

There's a Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/index.html

On this Site there's also the Link to the repository: http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.2.1.8/oxygen/repository/

In the Eclipse IDE paste this Link in the Work with:-Textfield under Help->Install new Software...

GlassFish Tools are contained in the Oracle Jave EE Tools under Tools.

Answer 2

You need to install Sapphire 9.1.1 before installing the GlassFish Tools.

To install:

1. Open Eclipse
2. Click on Help option
3. Click Install New Software
4. Work with: https://download.eclipse.org/sapphire/9.1.1/repository/
5. Hit Enter on your keyboard
6. Select Sapphire
7. Install
8. Eclipse should restart after completing the installation process.

Then follow the same steps to install GlassFish but for step 4 use the following link for GlassFish to Work with https://download.eclipse.org/glassfish-tools/1.0.1/repository/
