In this article, I’ll cover the highlights of the new releases and show how to get started.</p>
<p><span id="more-649017"></span></p>
<h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
<p><a href="https://developers.redhat.com/products/codeready-studio/overview">Red Hat CodeReady Studio</a> (previously known as Red Hat Developer Studio) comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it from our <a href="https://developers.redhat.com/products/codeready-studio/overview">Red Hat CodeReady Studio product page</a> and run it like this:</p>
<pre>java -jar codereadystudio-<installername>.jar</pre>
<p>JBoss Tools or Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) CodeReady Studio requires a bit more.</p>
<p>This release requires at least Eclipse 4.13 (2019-09), but we recommend using the latest <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2019-09/r/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers">Eclipse 4.13 2019-09 JEE Bundle</a> because then you get most of the dependencies pre-installed.</p>
<p>Once you have installed Eclipse, you can either find us on the Eclipse Marketplace under “JBoss Tools” or “Red Hat CodeReady Studio.”</p>
<p>For JBoss Tools, you can also use our update site directly:</p>
<pre>http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/</pre>
<h2 id="what-is-new">What’s new?</h2>
<p>Our main focus for this release was improvements for container-based development and bug fixing. Eclipse 2019-06 itself has a lot of new cool stuff, but I’ll highlight just a few updates in both Eclipse 2019-06 and JBoss Tools plugins that I think are worth mentioning.</p>
<h3 id="openshift">Red Hat OpenShift</h3>
<h4 id="openshift-container-platform-4-2-support">OpenShift Container Platform 4.2 support</h4>
<p>With the new <a href="https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/10/16/developer-tools-openshift/">OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.2</a> now available (see the <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-expands-kubernetes-developer-experience-newest-version-red-hat-openshift-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announcement</a>), even if this is a major shift compared to OCP 3, Red Hat CodeReady Studio and JBoss Tools are compatible with this major release in a transparent way. Just define your connection to your OCP 4.2 based cluster as you did before for an OCP 3 cluster, and use the tooling!</p>
<h4 id="codeready-containers-1-0-server-adapter">CodeReady Containers 1.0 Server Adapter</h4>
<p>A new server adapter has been added to support the next generation of CodeReady Containers 1.0. Although the server adapter itself has limited functionality, it is able to start and stop the CodeReady Containers virtual machine via its crc binary. Simply hit Ctrl+3 (Cmd+3 on OSX) and type <code>new server</code>, which will bring up a command to set up a new server.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://tools.stage.jboss.org/documentation/whatsnew/openshift/images/crc-server-adapter.png" alt="crc server adapter" /></p>
<p>Enter <code>crc</code> in the filter textbox.</p>
<p>You should see the <em>Red Hat CodeReady Containers 1.0</em> server adapter.</p>

<h5 id="quick-search">Quick Search</h5>
<p>The new <em>Quick Search</em> dialog provides a convenient, simple and fast way to run a textual search across your workspace and jump to matches in your code. The dialog provides a quick overview showing matching lines of text at a glance. It updates as quickly as you can type and allows for quick navigation using only the keyboard. A typical workflow starts by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L (or Cmd+Alt+Shift+L on Mac). Typing a few letters updates the search result as you type. Use Up-Down arrow keys to select a match, then hit Enter to open it in an editor.</p>

<h4 id="themes-and-styling">Themes and Styling</h4>
<h5 id="start-automatically-in-dark-theme-based-on-os-theme">Start automatically in dark theme based on OS theme</h5>
<p>On Linux and Mac, Eclipse can now start automatically in dark theme when the OS theme is dark. This works by default, that is on a new workspace or when the user has not explicitly set or changed the theme in Eclipse.</p>
<h5 id="display-of-help-content-respects-os-theme">Display of Help content respects OS theme</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>More and more operating systems provide a system-wide dark theme. Eclipse now respects this system-wide theme setting when the Eclipse help content is displayed in an external browser. A prerequisite for this is a browser that supports the prefers-color-scheme CSS media query.</p>
<p>As of the time of writing, the following browser versions support it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Firefox version 67</li>
<li>Chrome version 76</li>
<li>Safari version 12.1</li>
</ul>

<p>The Help System, as well as the help content of the Eclipse Platform, the Java Development Tooling, and the Plug-in Development Environment, now uses high-resolution icons. They are now crisp on high-resolution displays and also look much better in the dark theme.</p>

<p>Interactive performance has been further improved in this release and several UI freezes have been fixed.</p>
<h5 id="show-key-bindings-when-command-is-invoked">Show key bindings when command is invoked</h5>
<p>For presentations, screencasts, and learning purposes, it is very helpful to show the corresponding key binding when a command is invoked. When the command is invoked (via a key binding or menu interaction) the key binding, the command’s name and description are shown on the screen.</p>

<h4 id="java-13-support">Java 13 Support</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Java 13 is out, and Eclipse JDT supports Java 13 for 4.13 via Marketplace.</p>
<p>The release notably includes the following Java 13 features:</p>
<ul>
<li>JEP 354: Switch Expressions (Preview).</li>
<li>JEP 355: Text Blocks (Preview).</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that these are preview language features; hence, the <em>enable preview</em> option should be on. For an informal introduction of the support, please refer to <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Java13/Examples">Java 13 Examples wiki</a>.</p>
<h4 id="java-views-and-dialogs">Java Views and Dialogs</h4>
<h5 id="synchronize-standard-and-error-output-in-console">Synchronize standard and error output in console</h5>
<p>The <em>Eclipse Console</em> view currently can not ensure that mixed standard and error output is shown in the same order as it is produced by the running process. For Java applications, the launch configuration <em>Common</em> tab now provides an option to merge standard and error output. This ensures that standard and error output is shown in the same order it was produced but also disables the individual coloring of error output.</p>

<h5 id="convert-to-enhanced-for-loop-using-collections">Convert to enhanced ‘for’ loop using Collections</h5>
<p>The Java quickfix/cleanup <em>Convert to enhanced ‘for’ loop</em> is now offered on <code>for</code> loops that are iterating through Collections. The loop must reference the <code>size</code> method as part of the condition and if accessing elements in the body, must use the <code>get</code> method. All other Collection methods other than <code>isEmpty</code> invalidate the quickfix being offered.</p>

<h5 id="initialize-final-fields">Initialize ‘final’ fields</h5>
<p>A Java quickfix is now offered to initialize an uninitialized <code>final</code> field in the class constructor.

<h5 id="changes-in-blank-lines-settings">Changes in blank lines settings</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There’s quite a lot of changes in the <em>Blank lines </em>section of the formatter profile.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Some of the existing subsections and settings are now phrased differently to better express their function:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>The <em>Blank lines within class declarations</em> subsection is now <em>Blank lines within type declaration.</em></li>
<li><em>Before first declaration</em> is now <em>Before first member declaration.</em></li>
<li><em>Before declarations of the same kind</em> is now <em>Between member declarations of different kind.</em></li>
<li><em>Before member class declarations</em> is now <em>Between member type declarations.</em></li>
<li><em>Before field declarations</em> is now <em>Between field declarations.</em></li>
<li><em>Before method declarations</em> is now <em>Between method/constructor declarations.</em></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>More importantly, a few new settings have been added to support more places where the number of empty lines can be controlled:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>After last member declaration</em> in a type (to complement previously existing <em>Before first member declaration</em> setting).</li>
<li><em>Between abstract method declarations</em> in a type (these cases were previously handled by <em>Between method/constructor declarations</em>).</li>
<li><em>At end of method/constructor body</em> (to complement previously existing <em>At beginning of method/constructor body</em> setting).</li>
<li><em>At beginning of code block</em> and <em>At end of code block.</em></li>
<li><em>Before statement with code block</em> and <em>After statement with code block.</em></li>
<li><em>Between statement groups in ‘switch.’</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Most of the new settings have been put in a new subsection <em>Blank lines within method/constructor declarations.</em></p>

<h4 id="junit">JUnit</h4>
<h5 id="junit-5-5-1">JUnit 5.5.1</h5>
<p>JUnit 5.5.1 is here and Eclipse JDT has been updated to use this version.</p>
<h4 id="debug-2">Debug</h4>
<h5 id="enhanced-support-for-patch-module-during-launch">Enhanced support for –patch-module during launch</h5>
<p>The Java Launch Configuration now supports patching of different modules by different sources during the launch. This can be verified in the <em>Override Dependencies…</em> dialog in the <em>Dependencies</em> tab in a Java Launch Configuration.</p>

<h4 id="java-build">Java Build</h4>
<h5 id="full-build-on-jdt-core-preferences-change">Full build on JDT core preferences change</h5>
<p>Manually changing the settings file <code>.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs</code> of a project will result in a full project build, if the workspace auto-build is on. For example, pulling different settings from a git repository or generating the settings with a tool will now trigger a build. Note that this includes timestamp changes, even if actual settings file contents were not changed.</p>
<p>For the 4.13 release, it is possible to disable this new behavior with the VM property: <code>-Dorg.eclipse.disableAutoBuildOnSettingsChange=true</code>. It is planned to remove this VM property in a future release.</p>
<h3 id="and-more">And more…</h3>
<p>You can find more noteworthy updates in on <a href="https://tools.jboss.org/documentation/whatsnew/jbosstools/4.13.0.Final.html">this page</a>.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-next">What is next?</h2>
<p>Having JBoss Tools 4.13.0 and Red Hat CodeReady Studio 12.13 out we are already working on the next release for Eclipse 2019-12.</p>
