To begin developing enterprise applications you must first register an instance of the Java System Application Server with the IDE.

If you deploy your applications to a remote instance of the Java System Application Server, those libraries are available at runtime. However, during development, to compile your project you need a local instance of this server and libraries.

You can have multiple instances of the Java System Application Server registered with the IDE, but you must first specify the local folder that contains the local installation of the Java System Application Server. You only need to specify the location of the local installation once.

To register an instance of the Java System Application Server:

  1. Choose Tools > Server Manager.
  2. In the Server Manager, click Add Server to start the Add Server wizard.
  3. Select the Sun Java System Application Server from the drop-down list.
  4. Enter a name for the server instance. This name is used to identify the server in the IDE.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Supply the directory path of the Sun Java System Application Server.
  7. Select the type of domain you are registering and click Next.
  8. Specify the domain you want to register.
  9. Click Finish to complete the Add Server Instance wizard. Alternatively, click Next if you want to enter a username and password for the domain.
  10. Click Close in the Server Manager dialog box.

Once a server instance is registered with the IDE, a node for the server instance is visible in the Runtime window under the Servers node. You can perform the following tasks by right-clicking the server instance node and choosing a task from the pop-up menu:
