How does one deploy a web app from Eclipse Mars to a local install of IBM Websphere Application Server Developer 8.5 ?
I installed the app server from IBM's Installation Manager, upon completion it says its location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01
I tested the app itself using the "First Steps" window which popped up after install, and it looks like it is running fine.
Now, I want to test creating a simple hello world web application in Eclipse Mars, and be able to deploy it to this installed Websphere instance and be able to debug (stop at breakpoints). However, I can't seem to figure this part out.
When I go to my Servers tab in Eclipse and attempt to add a Websphere server, I didn't have any options. So I started downloading some IBM Websphere Developer Tools that I could find. I managed to now have these options for adding server: "WebSphere Application Server Liberty" "WebSphere Application Server traditional V8.5"
I tried using both, but they don't seem to be compatible with my installed version of WebSphere, because I keep getting the error of "The WebSphere Application Server traditional installation directory is not correct." when I try to plug in the Installation directory.
I suspect I should have a separate option for "WebSphere Application Server developer V8.5" or such, however no matter what I search for online, in the Eclipse marketplace, in the Eclipse sites, I can't find anything to install that gives me that option.
