Not able to see Axis2 Plugin for Eclipse

Question

Here's the problem:
I tried with multiple Eclipse IDE versions.

eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-win32
eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32
eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32
eclipse-jee-indigo-SR1-win32

Axis2 runtime is axis2-1.6.1

Axis2 Plugin from http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/tools/index.html

org.apache.axis2.eclipse.service.plugin_1.6.1.jar
org.apache.axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin_1.6.1.jar

Tried putting above jars into either dropins or plugin directories, but not able to see Axis2 Wizard under File -> New -> Other (for all of the above eclipse IDEs).

Answer 1

I encountered a similar issue using Spring Tool Suite (on top of Eclipse) and had to place my jar files into the spring (STS) dropin folder.

(I used the following jar files in my situation org.apache.axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin_1.6.2.jar & org.apache.axis2.eclipse.service.plugin_1.6.2.jar)

Answer 2

You will need this jar file and you can download this jar file from this link. After that you can download these files
1- axis2-eclipse-codegen-wizard-1.4.zip
2- axis2-eclipse-service-archiver-wizard-1.4.zip

Unzip both files and then copy all directories Axis2_Codegen_Wizard_1.3.0 and Axis2_Service_Archiver_1.3.0 in Eclipse plugins directory.

Eclipse plugins directory (Axis2_Codegen_Wizard_1.3.0 and Axis2_Service_Archiver_1.3.0 already copied)

Now start the eclipse and then go to File-->New--> Others and then expand "Axis2 Wizards". Here you will find the Eclipse Axis2 Code generator and Service Archiver wizards.

After that restart your IDE you can find your AXIX2

Answer 3

I faced the same problem, after installing Axis2 1.6.1 for Eclipse Indigo. Did not find the Axis wizards in eclipse.

Thanks to Andreas Veithen's answer above, I was able to fix the problem.

Just install the SNAPSHOT versions from the link below,

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/axis2/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/SNAPSHOT/

You will need to download only 2 jars from here:

• axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-SNAPSHOT.jar
• axis2.eclipse.service.plugin-SNAPSHOT.jar

Save it to your eclipse/plugins directory. Open eclipse and ctrl+n, you will find the Axis wizards!

Answer 4

Looks like there is a problem with org.apache.axis2.eclipse.service.plugin_1.6.1 and org.apache.axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin_1.6.1 plugins.

When I dropped under dropins folder in eclipse-jee-indigo-SR1-win32-x86_64. It didn't work.

As mentioned above I downloaded and used 1.6.2 axis2 plugins and it worked.

Answer 5

I also got thru though the 1.4.1 was able to show up axis2 wizard for Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2, Build id: 20120216-1857 Java 7 x86 32bit

But, picked up the latest snapshot 1.7.0 version: axis2.eclipse.service.plugin-1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Answer 6

Try to apply the batch provided HERE

Answer 7

After googling around for few hours. I figure it out that Axis2 Plug-in for Version 1.6.1 have bug on apache axis2 mailing list.

Looks like version 1.4 also have bug! didn't check whether it got fixed or not.

i used version 1.3 for Axis2 codegen & service-archieve from: http://archive.apache.org/dist/ws/axis2/tools/1_3/enter link description here

It worked well with eclipse-jee-indigo-SR1-win32.

Unzip the downloaded archives and put into /plugins,

Answer 8

There was indeed an issue with the 1.6.1 versions of the plugins. You can use 1.6.0 or one of the snapshot builds.
