Glassfish Server Library not available in Eclipse Kepler?

I'm setting up a new dev machine with Eclipse Kepler to deploy on a Glassfish 3.1.2.2 instance.

When I go to 

project properties > java build path > libraries > add library > server runtime

There is no option to add the Glassfish server libraries.

Some other notes of what I've done (whether they help or not...):

  • Manually installed GF
  • Installed OEPE for Juno
  • GF Server already added
  • GF Server starts / stops no problem (from Eclipse)

I pretty much had the same setup on my other machine with the exception that I used Juno instead of Kepler (however, I tried the above with a fresh Juno install as well). That machine has everything working but was set up a while ago. From what I understand, there has been a lot of changes with GF, Eclipse plugins and such: https://blogs.oracle.com/piotrik/entry/glassfish_3_1_2_2 . So perhaps it's still under works and not fully ready?

In the meantime, I created a User Library with the Glassfish jar files from the Modules folder. Not the ideal solution but it works for now.

However, I still rather have the "cleaner" method of adding a Server Runtime instead. Ideas?

Looks like a bug in Eclipse Kepler / Glassfish Server Tools.

You can try the following:

Add this in your projects .classpath file:

<classpathentry kind="con" path="oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.lib.system">
    <attributes>
        <attribute name="owner.project.facets" value="jst.web"/>
    </attributes>
</classpathentry>

Update the file YOUR_PROJECT/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faceted-project>
  <runtime name="GlassFish 3.1"/>  <-- Insert the name of your Glassfish Runtime in Eclipse here 
  <fixed facet="jst.web"/>
  <fixed facet="java"/>
  <fixed facet="wst.jsdt.web"/>
  <installed facet="java" version="1.7"/>
  <installed facet="jst.web" version="3.0"/>
  <installed facet="glassfish.web" version="3.1"/> <-- Glassfish Version here
  <installed facet="wst.jsdt.web" version="1.0"/>
</faceted-project>

You have to choose the appropriate runtime name which you defined in Eclipse.
