Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform

Streamline your JBoss EAP dev environment with Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces: Part 2

By Laurent Broudoux January 28, 2019February 21, 2019

This is the second half of my series covering how to use Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces to develop a Java Enterprise Edition (now Jakarta EE) application using Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) in the cloud on Red Hat OpenShift/Kubernetes. In the first part, we saw how to:

• Bring your own tools by extending Red Hat’s provided stacks
• Register your own stack within Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces
• Create your workspace using your stack and embedding your JEE project located on a Git repository

For this second part, we’ll start configuring the workspace by adding some helpful settings and commands for building and running a JBoss EAP project. We’ll then see how to use the local JBoss EAP instance for deploying and debugging our application. Finally, we’ll create a factory so that we’ll be able to share our work and propose an on-demand configured development environment for anyone that needs to collaborate on our project.
