Today it is time for Alpha 2 of JBoss Tools 4.1 with a great set of new improvements \
which I'll cover after the jump...

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 still an alpha and is built against \
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php Kepler M6 (Eclipse 4.3M6), and \
as such things can and will still change before the final Kepler release.
Use the http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/kepler/ Update Site \
from within Kepler M6 or http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess Download Developer \
Studio and be sure to have the exact correct Eclipse base (note: in Alpha2 the live \
reload feature is only in JBoss Tools, it will arrive in Developer Studio in the next \
release) h1. Improvements
In this round our main highlight is the introduction of LiveReload support in \
Eclipse, but a few other extra items are also to be found if you continue reading... \
h2. Live reload in Eclipse Our new Live reload feature allows you to have your \
browser automatically refresh when you save your html, javascript and css files. No \
need to press refresh manually anymore - you can just focus on content and \
functionallity and instantly see and use the changes in your browser.
If it is hard to imagine how it works, Xavier Coulon made the following video showing \
how to activate and use it:
It might not look at much, but when you first start to use it you get rather hooked \
at it because of the nice instant feedback. Especially if this is the first time you \
tried using something like live reload with your browser.
It is important to note that to use this you should install a livereload \
plugin/extension into your browser as documented in our \
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/livereload/livereload-news-1.0.0.Alpha2.html \
What's New and Noteworthy.
In this first release of livereload support we focused on making resources loaded \
from the local file system supereasy to do and use; we also focused on using the \
existing http://feedback.livereload.com/knowledgebase/articles/86174-livereload-protocol \
defacto protocol usd by LiveReload and related plugins meaning any browser, script \
and tool that works with live reload today should work with our Eclipse \
implementation of it.
In upcoming release of JBoss Tools the live reload feature will also be part of \
Developer Studio, require even less setup (today you need to "add the server", next \
it will be setup automatically and we'll ask if you want to start it), we will \
support live reload of content deployed via server adapters (localhost and remote \
servers and not just limited to JBoss AS/EAP servers) and finally we will also \
provide a proxied server to allow you to do easy testing on any browser, including \
mobile devices without installing any browser plugins.
But for now, enjoy having automatic reload of file based URLs, super nice for \
HTML5/JS based applications.
h2. JQuery Mobile Palette
To support HTML5 and mobile client development we've added a new HTML palette with \
initial support for JQuery Mobile.
This palette will show up when you edit HTML5 files (files with <!DOCTYPE HTML> doc \
type). If it does not show up, it is probably using HTML4 or XHTML content types.
The JQuery Mobile palette features a dialog preview when you click or drag one of the \
buttons for a component, it lets you see and customize what will be inserted.
The palette looks like this:

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/jst/images/4.1.0.Alpha2/lf.png
and Alexey Kazakov r http://www.screenr.com/embed/7M57 ecorded a video to show it in \
action.
h2. BrowserSim Screenshot
The Browser Simulator now have easy screenshot facility to share your awesome design \
or nasty bug you want someone to hunt down.
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/browsersim/images/4.1.0.Alpha2/screenshot.png \
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/browsersim/images/4.1.0.Alpha2/screenshot.png
h2. BrowserSim "Remote" Debugging
In the previous release we added Firebug for easy local debugging but we've now also \
added Weinre support, allowing you to use any Weinre compatible server to \
debug/inspect the application running in BrowserSim.
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/browsersim/images/4.1.0.Alpha2/weinre.png \
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/browsersim/images/4.1.0.Alpha2/weinre.png
h2. OpenShift Restart
We've started adding more operations to OpenShift Tools to make you less dependent on \
the OpenShift command line tools (note: the command line tools are great and we are \
100% compatible - we just prefer not to be 100% dependent on them).
In this release we've added "Restart" to the UI allowing you to trigger a node \
restart for your application in case something bad has happened or you changed a \
configuration that requires a full node restart.
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/openshift/images/restart-application.png \
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/openshift/images/restart-application.png
h2. Where is WildFly ?
The JBoss AS project was recently renamed to http://www.wildfly.org WildFly. For now \
JBoss Tools does not have specific support for WildFly since there have not yet been \
an actual binary release.
In this release if you are building WildFly from source the JBoss AS 7.1 adapter \
should work since WildFly still is compatible with AS 7.x.
We will support WildFly specific features/layout it in later releases.
h2. Giving Feedback
There are more news and screenshots in http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew 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 release is planned to be our first beta which will include the Cordova \
Mobile tooling, improved live reload support, a few Javascript surprises and general \
awesomeness.

https://community.jboss.org/community/tools?view=discussions forum and irc if you are \
interested in contributing!
Have fun reloading!
