Java Enterprise Studio 8.1 cannot create a websphere server

I just downloaded Java Enterprise Studio 8.1 and follows the instruction here

http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/reference/techart/jse8_1/websphere.html

to create a server to connect to a local websphere install. However, when I clicked the Next button after selecting Websphere on the first step, nothing

happens, although the wizard When I clicked the Next button

again, the wizard jumps to step 3 and the Finish button is disabled. So I cannot

create a websphere connection. The websphere seem to work for other server type. Am I missing something? Has anyone successfully created a websphere connection?

I tried the following:

- Move to runtime tab in the navigator window

- Right-click on servers

- Click 'Add server...'

- Select 'IBM Websphere Application Server V6.0' from the dropdown and click Next.

I was presented with a second panel which had a textbox for specifying a webserver location and the Next button was disabled. Did you see this panel and specify the websphere server location?

I just tried again I still did not see step 2.

The build number I am using is 2006.12.01. The jdk versin is 1.5.0_05. The OS is Windows XP. Is your setup more or less the same?

Pretty much, except my OS is Solaris.

Can you try running the ide with a fresh userdir?

Also:

In the final panel with finish disabled, do you see a back button? If so, does clicking it take you to second panel or first panel?

And one more thing:

Have you considered moving to NetBeans?

I tried to use a new user directory, with this command:

jstudio.exe -userdir C:\projects\test\sunstudio

The result is the same. The second page still does not show up. When I click the Back button, it stays on the third step after the first click and the second click bring me back to the first page. It is like the second page is there, but is not drawn. I check the output console and the command line prompt that starts up the ide, neither is showing any stack trace. Does the ide log anything to a log file?

Netbean is as new to me as Java Enterprise Studio. Either is fine to me. I was told that there is a websphere plugin for netbean. I only find one that is still of beta quality though.

Just in case this has some significance, there is an error message on step 3:

Please enter a valid domain root directory.

I assume this is just because the websphere location is not entered on step 2. Is that so?

The ide log is found at <userdir>/var/log/messaes.log file. If you do see any stacktraces or any other relevant error messages, then please post them here.

- I see '2 Server Location' panel with a textbox for server location and a static text message 'Please enter a valid IBM websphere V6.0 installation'. Not clear to me why you are not seeing this panel in your installation.

- > there is an error message on step 3:

I think so. In the second panel, one would have specified the location where server is locally installed. And panel '3 Instance Properties' would then collect instance data.

I myself am not go to the third panel, since i don't have a local websphere installed.

- Regarding NetBeans, you are right that websphere module is marked as beta-quality. I still think NB may be preferable because:

- it is a later version

- it has an excellent community support model

- it is free and opensource, source code is available for inspection

- there are presently no future roadmaps for JSE and all JSE modules have been moved to NetBeans.

This is the stack trace I find in the log file:
