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.
h1. Installation
This release is our second Beta and is built against  
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerm7
 Kepler RC3 (Eclipse 4.3RC3) but will work with the just released final Kepler 
version too. But when you report issues please mention which Eclipse Kepler 
build and package you used.

>From within Eclipse Kepler you can use the Marketplace or  
>http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess Download Developer Studio and be sure 
>to have the exact correct Eclipse base.

h1. Improvements
Beta2 are a lot of bug fixing but we do have a few improvements too.

h3. WildFly 8
WildFly now has its own (experimental) dedicated server adapter.

h3. LiveReload
The LiveReload feature to have your webrowser or BrowerSim automatically load 
webpages when they changes is now easier to use than ever.
You can now right click on files in the Project Explorer or on modules deployed 
to a server to load your Browser with a LiveReload enabled page.

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/images/LiveReload_open_in_web_browser_via_browser-menu.png
 
This action will setup the LiveReload server for you if it not already exist, 
meaning you can just focus on doing development.

In addition to local development and testing you can now also easily load the 
page on a mobile device such as a phone or tablet via "Web Browser on External 
device..."

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/images/LiveReload_open_in_web_browser_via_qrcode-dialog.png
 

With this you can use a QR reader application and have the webpage load through 
the LiveReload proxy server and it will have LiveReload injected into the pages 
making it automatically reload when you change your website.

h3. OpenShift own Source and Markers
OpenShift had a good deal of improvements usability wise this time around which 
you can see on its  
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/openshift/openshift-news-2.5.0.Beta2.html 
N&N page.

Two new features that are extra nice to know about is "Advanced Source Code" 
and "Marker configuration".

"Advanced Source code" let you create an application seeded from a remote git 
repository server side instead of you or tools having to use git recursive 
merges locally.

 http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/openshift/images/advanced-source-code.png 

The other feature is to easily setup and edit so called OpenShift Markers. 
These are files hidden inside .openshift
to enable/disable certain features. OpenShift Tools now have a UI to manage 
these.

components like <video> and others:

h2. Giving Feedback

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 ?
Next planned item is the candidate release and with GA this summer. Do try out

...And don't forget all the  http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/ other 
features that have been added in this release stream.
