JBossAS Source Layout

The JBoss Application Server source is hosted under the svn repositories:

The jbossas repository uses the convention of using the trunk as the active head (HEAD/jboss-head in previous CVS repository). Branches are found under the branches root URL. Tagged releases are found under the tags root URL.

The current trunk structure contsists of the following subprojects:
  • aspects - aop aspects for cross ctting concerns
  • bootstrap - server bootstrap spi and abstract server implementation
  • build - the ant build scripts and artifact output location
  • cluster - cluster integration code and aspects
  • connector - the jca deployers and code
  • console - legacy admin console code. Will be replaced by the JON open source console.
  • deployment - jsr88 deployment implementation
  • docbook-support - old docbook tools for the server docs. Server docs have moved to a separate project.
  • ejb3 - the ejb3 container and deployers.
  • embedded - embedded jboss project. Will be moved outside the server codebase.
  • hibernate-int - hibernate integration service
  • iiop - corba/iiop integration services
  • j2se - core jmx implementation classes
  • jbossas - obsolete integration code
  • jbossmq - obsolete JBossMQ messaging implementation. Replaced by
  • jmx - jboss jmx implementation
  • jmx-remoting - partial jmx connector implementation
  • main - the main entry point wrapper and Server interfaces that define the server loading api.
  • management - jsr77 interfaces and implementation
  • mbeans - xmbean implementation and interceptors.
  • messaging - JBoss Messaging integration code and descriptors
  • naming - in memory jnd implementation.
  • profileservice - profile service plugin implementation
  • security - security integration code
  • server - ejb2 container, deployers, misc javaee deployers, legacy remoting code.
  • spring-int - spring integration deployers
  • system - core server and profile service api
  • system-jmx - SARDeployer, legacy server related mbeans
  • testsuite - server junit tests
  • thirdparty - placeholder for thirdparty libraries pulled in by build
  • tomcat - jbossweb integration code and deployers
  • tools - buildmagic related tools, ant
  • varia - miscellaneous services
  • webservices - jbossws webservies integration code

JBossAS Dependencies

Many of the projects previous located in the jbossas codebase have been moved to separate projects. These projects are located in the jbossas svn repository under https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/. Current projects include:


Using Eclipse3.x to develop JBossAS

The source in the jbossas repository includes eclipse project files that allow for easy integration with eclipse. To develop jbossas using eclipse, use the following recepie to create a new workspace based on an svn checkout:
  1. Checkout the jbossas trunk as jboss-head 
    svn co --username [your-jboss-login] --password [yourpass] https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/ jboss-head
  2. Build the codebase by running ant from the jboss-head/build directory to create the thirdparty contents.
  3. Launch eclipse 3.x using a new workspace
  4. Import the eclipse projects using the command:
    • File->Import/General/Existing Projects into Workspace
    • Use the "Select root directory:" radio option and browse to the jboss-head directory you checked out previously.
    • Don't select the "Copy projects into workspace" checkbox.
