I am using Eclipse for Java EE. I have installed Java EE SDK that include Glassfish server. But I do not see Glassfish in the list of servers when creating a web project. How do I add Glassfish to Eclipse?

Eclipse does indeed not ship with a Glassfish plugin out the box. You need to install it separately. It's quite simple, just click the link Download additional server adapters in the New Server wizard.

enter image description here

Wait for the list to be populated and finally pick Oracle Glassfish Server Tools.

After a restart it'll be available among the options.

  • then you'll need to locate your GF path until Eclipse says it is correct – JuanToroMarty Apr 11 '11 at 20:11
  • @Juan: Yes, but that's trivial enough when you click *Next* :) – BalusC Apr 11 '11 at 20:12
  • As an aside: some (including myself) have had issues with debugging when using the plugin from the Eclipse Market (like: the debugger will stop at breakpoints, but not jump into the actual code), but no problems at all when installing just the server adapter like described above. – Arjan Jan 13 '12 at 20:27

You need to download the eclipse plugin. http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios/

  • Please make sure to use http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/helios URL instead. The dlc.sun.com URL is a reference to integration builds of this plugin rather than the released version. – Konstantin Komissarchik Apr 11 '11 at 20:30
  • @ Konstantin Komissarchik the page is not there, it sayd: We're sorry, the page you requested was not found. – enterprize Apr 11 '11 at 21:00
  • As an aside: some (including myself) have had issues with debugging (like: the debugger will stop at breakpoints, but not jump into the actual code) when using the plugin, but not when installing just the server adapter [like BalusC explains](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5626872/integrating-glassfish-in-eclipse-for-java-ee/5626904#5626904). – Arjan Jan 13 '12 at 20:26

After installing GlassFish in Eclipse, you can build a complete Java EE 6 application as explained at:

You can also download Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) which comes with GlassFish pre-bundled.
