JBoss Developer Studio
======================
version @full_version@, March 23, 2009

Instructions
------------

You start JBoss Developer Studio by clicking on the installed icon
in your program menu or desktop. Alternatively you can launch it via
the command line to provide further options.

On Linux that would be:

cd <install-path>/jbdevstudio/eclipse
./eclipse

Note: Do not use GCJ as the Java to launch JBoss Developer Studio;
it will crash. If your default Java vm is GCJ launch eclipse as
follows to use another vm:

eclipse -vm <path to java executable> 

Technical Previews:
-------------------

JBoss Developer Studio includes JBoss RichFaces as a Technology Preview. 
Future releases of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform will officially 
incorporate and support JBoss RichFaces for production use.

Known issues:
-------------

The following issues have been identified to affect this beta release:

JBDS-628   :  There are known issues with Eclipse WebTools project preventing JEE 5 lib support to work reliably for EAR's.
              Usage of manifest.mf is recommended until https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=263918 gets resolved.             		 
JBIDE-1285 :  If you run the Seam Tests with TestNG under Java 6 the datasources cannot be found.
              Workaround: Make sure the TestNG has -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true as a VM argument and use JDK6u4 or above. 
              (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1285)

JBIDE-779:    Facelet pages are marked with false warnings e.g. "Undefined attribute name (jsfc)". This is 
              caused by Eclipse WTP's HTML Syntax Validation not being aware of Facelet specific attributes. 
              Currently we cannot remove this false warning without removing other usefull warnings. If you want
              to remove these (and other warnings) you can disable the validation 
              Windows/Preferences/Validation/HTML Syntax Validation.
              (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-779)

JBIDE-2700:   If you start a server without having started the Debug perspective or viewed/edited a launch configuration
              the console view for a server will just show a blank page. Workaround is to switch to the debug perspective at least once;
	      then the console view will show up.
