Release Notes -- Apache Geronimo Eclipse Plugin -- Version 3.0-beta-1 -- 20111130114311 Helpful URLs ------------ Geronimo Devtools: http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html Geronimo Eclipse Update Site: http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates Bug Tracking: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS Quick start - fast and easy development: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC30/fast-and-easy-development.html 5-minute Tutorial using GEP: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC30/5-minute-tutorial-on-enterprise-application-development-with-eclipse-and-geronimo.html System Requirements ------------------- 1. Java J2SE 1.6.0 or greater, and a platform that supports it 2. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (Helios (3.6) or Indigo (3.7)), which is platform-specific -- Get Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ 3. Geronimo server (1.1.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 3.0-beta-1) -- Get a Geronimo server from http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads.html Notes ----- You will likely need to increase the default setting for maximum PermGen size for your Eclipse installation (especially for Sun's JDK 1.6.0_x on the Windows platform) to prevent "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen" errors. From the command line you can use: eclipse -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m Or you can edit your eclipse.ini file. An example is shown below but remember that each argument has to be on seperate lines: -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m Geronimo Eclipse Plugin Version 3.0.0 Enhancements -------------------------------------------------- 1. Support Geronimo Server 3.0-beta-1 2. Support Eclipse Indigo (3.7), WTP 3.2 and Java EE 6 facet 3.
