JBoss Tools is a set of plugins for Eclipse that complements, enhances and goes 
beyond the support that exists for JBoss and related technologies in the 
default Eclipse distribution.

JBoss Developer Studio is a fully bundled Eclipse distribution which not only 
includes the majority of JBoss Tools but also all its needed dependencies and 
3rd party plugins allowing for an easy one-click and no-fuss installation.

If you are into doing your own bleeding edge eclipse plugin assembly, JBoss 
Tools is for you; if you are more into having something that "Just Works" then 
JBoss Developer Studio is the way to go.

h2. Installation
This release is an alpha and is built against  
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerm5
 Eclipse 4.3 M5, and as such things can and will still change before the final 
Kepler release.  

We therefore recommend you use the  
https://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/7.0/ JBoss Developer Studio installer 
to be sure you got the right Eclipse distribution, but you can of course use  
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/kepler/ JBoss Tools 
updatesite (note: url has changed since the Juno based release) if you wish - 
just be sure you are using Eclipse 4.3 Kepler M5 when doing so.

h2. Improvements
As mentioned above we are now targeting Eclipse Kepler to pickup the new 
features, bugfixes and performance improvements made since Eclipse Juno - we 
are releasing this Alpha to get early feedback on our tools but just as much on 
Kepler so we can actually get any remaining issues fixed before the release 
train ships this summer. Please report bugs to us or eclipse.org directly if 
you find an issue that is reproducible even without JBoss Tools installed.

Beyond that a few other highlights sneaked into this Alpha...

h3. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1 Alpha Support
Last week Mark Little announced that  
https://community.jboss.org/blogs/mark.little/2013/03/07/eap-binaries-available-for-all-developers
 EAP 6.1 Alpha is now freely available for Developers and you can get it from  
http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads 
JBoss AS download page. This release of tools provides support for EAP 6.1 
Alpha.

Note: we will soon have an update to JBoss Tools 4.0 and Developer Studio 6.0 
to provide similar support but if you want to get started today with the alpha 
of JBoss EAP use this alpha tooling with it.

h3. BrowserSim w/Firebug

BrowserSim now includes Firebug for easy inspection of dom and css styles.

h3. Content assist for JSF xml namespace
XML namespace (xmlns) content assist now looks at your other pages and a list 
of standard xmlns when you are editing JSF pages and insert
the appropriate xmlns declaration if your page is missing it. Alexey made a 
nice video showing how this works.



h3. CDI DeltaSpike 0.3
The initial DeltaSpike CDI integration now work with DeltaSpike 0.3.

h2. Forge updates
Forge tools now bundles Forge 1.2

h3. Maven JPA/JSF/JAX-RS Configurators moved to Eclipse
As Fred wrote earlier we contributed the JPA/JSF/JAX-RS Configurators we made 
to eclipse.org and thus in this Kepler
release we no longer bundle our own but rely on the new. This means the 
configuration of these moved under the main
Maven > Java EE Integration preference.

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/images/m2e-wtp-optional-configurator-preferences.png
 
These configurators enables the JSF, JPA and JAX-RS tooling if your maven pom 
and project are depending or 
using these features.

h2. Giving Feedback
There are more news and screenshots in What's New, and if you got an idea to an 
improvement or found a bug do not hestiate to open an issue in our  
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE issue tracker.
h2. What's Next ?
We are not standing still and our roadmap for the upcoming release includes 
JQuery Mobile support in our palette and html5 source editor, a whole new 
feature using LiveReload, Apache Cordova tooling and simulator, Better 
JavaScript support in Eclipse, easier management of your OpenShift applications 
and more...

Follow this blog for more or contact us on our  
https://community.jboss.org/community/tools?view=discussions forum and irc if 
you are interested in contributing!

And don't forget....Have fun!
