Setting Up JBoss Developer Studio

Use Case: As a developer, I want to use an IDE for application development while using the local OpenShift cluster. I need seamless connectivity from the IDE to my local OpenShift environment.

Step 1: Install JBoss Developer Studio

Download and install JBoss Developer Studio following the installation instructions from here https://developers.redhat.com/products/devstudio/download/. You will need to register with https://developers.redhat.com/ to be able to download.

Step 2: Connect JBDS to the Local OpenShift Cluster

• Open JBoss Developer Studio

• Go to the Servers tab at the bottom and click on the link to create a new server

• Select OpenShift 3 Server Adapter, you can leave the Server's host name as localhost and click Next

• On the next page sign into the OpenShift server. Here you would use the Minishift Master URL and credentials (developer/developer)

• Click on Next and it will prompt you about Untrusted Server Certificate. Accept the same pressing on Yes button. Now OpenShift Cluster will be added to your servers list.

Step 3: Import the previously added service into Eclipse.

• On the next window, select bootapp service in the services window and click on the Import button next to Eclipse Project field.

• You should now see bootapp under Select Build Config. Choose that and click on Next button.

• On the next page, choose a Git Location of your choice or leave it as default and press on Finish

Now the spring-sample-app will be imported into your JBDS. You will find it under the Project View as shown below.

Congratulations!! We are now connected to the application running on Minishift from the IDE.
