JBoss Tools 3 CR2 is ready! The next one will be GA.
[Download] [Update Site] [What's New] [Movies] [Documentation] [Forums] [JIRA]
160+ issues have been fixed since CR1 based on the feedback we have received (Thank You!)
We are heading for GA and therefore not a lot of new features, except for a few which you can see in the New and Noteworthy.
I especially like the code folding in Visual Page editor for XML/HTML including namespaced tags like rich:table.
While you download the new release you can go and look at some of our recent entries for JBoss Tools:
- The FreeTee project, where Galder shows how he uses project archives from JBoss Tools to have quick incremental build of rt.jar from OpenJDK
- The JBoss Tools Code swarm done by Emanuel
- The Logo Jira where you can contribute ideas to the work for a JBoss Tools logo (the final one will be chosen for the GA)
As always feedback is very much appreciated.
Have fun!

Great! Looking forward to the final release.
Wow, can't wait to test this CR. :)
It works for me, maybe you are seeing https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236437 which is an issue with Eclipse P2 update manager.
Does restarting of eclipse helps (as suggested in that bug?)

Just add the JBT update site, enable the BIRT 2.3 site (if you plan to install that feature) and select the JBT features you want. Eclipse will grab all the EMF, WebTools, XSD, XULRunner, etc. requirements, and install everything you need.
What URL did you use for the update site?
Instructions here [1] are correct, except for CR2 you want a different update site [2] - the nightly site [3] is even more bleeding edge and the site is replaced with new content every day.

WooHoo! Getting closer to GA.
i cant download the package from sourceforce. it keeps redirecting around mirrors until stops on one, but download does not start. anybody have this problem?
hmm - something is broken at sf.net; it worked yesterday but today i'm also having troubles ;(
Until we figure out what is causing that you can use the update site.

update site worked great with some small glitches. i thought pointing out might help. i was updating from CR1 and drools core/guvnor/task features could not be updated. eclipse thinks the old version code 5.0.0.MR2-R200812191611 is newer than the latest 5.0.0.M5-R200901280154 and refuses to update. i had to manually remove old archives from plugins/ and features/, then install new ones. works flawlessly now.
thanks and great work btw. looking forward to GA.
Still having issues with getting this version downloaded, e.g., from http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jboss/JBossTools-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154-ALL-macosx-carbon.zip
Does anybody here have a better URL for me to try ?
Thank you, Jonathan
We still have an issue open against sf.net, see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2551852&group_id=1&atid=200001.
Nick seem to sometime be lucky getting a download where as I'm still getting blanks.

We have not received any answer to the case yet but I can now get all downloads without any problems. If we don't hear otherwise i'll assume sf.net had a mirror glitch friday afternoon/saturday morning european time.

It's now fixed, see http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/JBossTools3CR2DownloadLinksFixed

Yes I tired the latest nightly build.(today), but it has not worked yet.

The blog post has a link to JIRA where you can report issues and a link to a forum where you can discuss usage.

Thanks

I've updated the link, but please don't use this many months old release ;) Use GA or the newest 3.1.M2 release - thanks.
