Sun JDK 5.0 can be downloaded from Sun's J2SE 5.0 Downloads site. WTP along with all the other prerequisites can be downloaded in one combined bundle from WTP Downloads site. Download Web Tools Platform All-In-One Package specific to your platform from v2.0.1 of WTP. Extract the archive to a directory of your choice (for e.g. C:\wtp). The archive will be extracted to a directory named eclipse under the directory you specified (for e.g. C:\wtp\eclipse), referred to as <eclipse_home> from now on. Make sure that the JDK in the PATH is Sun JDK 5.0. Launch Eclipse by running <eclipse_home>/eclipse.

Geronimo server can be installed from within Geronimo Eclipse Plugin. This feature does not work currently for 2.1 server. Download Geronimo 2.1 server from http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/ and extract the archive to a directory of your choice (for e.g. C:\g). The archive will be extracted to a directory geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1 (for e.g. C:\g\geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1) or geronimo-jetty6-javaee5-2.1 depending on whether you downloaded Geronimo 2.1 distribution with Tomcat or Jetty as the web container. We will refer to this directory as <geronimo_home> from now on.

Installing Geronimo Eclipse Plugin

...

  1. Launch the Define a New Server dialog using one of the following:
    • From the Servers view in the Java EE Perspective: Right-click, New, Server.
    • From any Perspective: Select File, New, Other, Server.
  2. Select Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server and click Next.
  3. Select a 5.0 JRE (click Installed JREs to add any new JREs and return to this dialog once done), enter the directory name or browse to the directory where Geronimo 2.1 server is installed <geronimo_home> and click Next. (Note: Download options part of this dialog does not work currently.)
  4. Select the location of the archive containing Geronimo source and click Next. This is required only if you intend to debug into Geronimo source code.
  5. Modify Hostname, Administrator Id, Administrator password, Web Connector port and RMI Naming port if necessary and click Finish. Normally you will not need to change the default values for these fields for a newly installed Geronimo 2.1 server.
