+1 for this thread - maybe rename the subject line and work on this more?
Would be great to see TomEE show up as a distinct option in Eclipse.

Maybe the existing OpenEJB adapter could be simply extended to support
both OpenEJB standalone and TomEE. Or the existing OpenEJB WTP adapter
and the existing Tomcat adapter could be merged into a new TomEE
adapter which would make it almost transparent to the user whether a
standalone OpenEJB, TomEE or TomEE plus is being used (depending on
the server runtime used the WTP editor page could provide different
tunables). I suspect the original OpenEJB WTP adapter could have been
a copy of the generic or Tomcat WTP adapter to so it would maybe a
good idea anyway to have a look at it to figure out whether WTP APIs
used are still up-to-date or not.

There isn't a TomEE Eclipse plugin, but there is an OpenEJB one, which
includes a WTP server for OpenEJB, and a wizard to migrate from EJB2.1 to
EJB3, generating the relevant annotations. I'm no expert but I do have
some
experience of doing Eclipse plugins, and did a fair amount of work on the
OpenEJB one.
I'd love to get back into some of that stuff. The big question is, how
should a TomEE plugin work, and how would it be different from a Tomcat
one? I've always found the Tomcat one works really well for TomEE - I've
presented this a couple of times at JAX London, and one of the things
people liked was that the existing Tomcat tools worked with TomEE.
I'm quite happy to try and see if we can come up with a TomEE adaptor
based
on the Tomcat plugin and make it a bit easier to get TomEE going (there
were a couple of options you have to fiddle with on the Tomcat WTP plugin)
- are there any other ideas that people have?

Is there an Eclipse plugin for TomEE yet?
Does anyone have experience with building Eclipse plugins?
I personally don't use Eclipse either but a lot of our customers do.
Now that TomEE is officially released, it would be great to have that as
an option in the main eclipse build, especially since other distros like
Glassfish have one. It's probably exactly the same as the Tomcat one -
but
adding it as an explicit option would boost recognition.
Best Regards,
Neale

Seems like a lot of these suggestions involve having TomEE support
already in the Eclipse binary that people download from eclipse.org.
That sounds great. Do you know how to do that?
In the first place a downloadable plug-in containing the WTP adapter
for TomEE would be enough. A second step would be pushing the whole
thing upstreams to the Eclipse project like it is the case for Tomcat
or WAS CE. I could have a look at that.
If I misunderstand it's because I don't really like Eclipse and I don't
know what I'm doing :)
I'd say in that particular case you are more like a generalist who
just knows enought to operate any IDE :)
Console messages we can control. Stop button out of our control unless
we
write a TomEE adapter.
I noticed that Tomcat, for whatever reason prints out info and warning
messages to stderr instead of stdout too. Now idea why. Thus the red
instead of normal, black messages.
Btw, which screencasting program did you use to do the webcast recording?
