JBoss Developer Studio

JBoss Developer Studio (JBDS) is a development environment created on top of Eclipse and is currently developed by the Red Hat JBoss division. Some companies such as Exadel, the Eclipse foundation, and open source individuals are also working on the JBoss Developer Studio project. JBDS empowers users with a set of plugins, called JBoss Tools; it supports multiple programming models, frameworks, and technologies, including Maven, SVN, and Git.

JBoss Developer Studio is modular like Eclipse and supports development with multiple JVM versions. At the time of writing this book, the last JBDS release version is 10.3.0. JBDS is available as other Jboss products on the Red Hat developer portal--developers.redhat.com; you need a social account (GitHub, Stack Overflow, Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Google, or Microsoft) and credentials to download the software.
