Testing environment: Eclipse IDE 2024-03 JEE package JBossTools 4.30.x.Nightly WildFly 31.0.1.Final & WildFly 32.0.0.Final OpenJDK 17

At the moment, its not possible to configure and use WildFly 31 and above versions in the IDE.

The WildFly 27+ connector available in the IDE supports till version 30 of WildFly. However, latest version of WildFly server (https://www.wildfly.org/downloads/) is at version 32. There is also a version 31 that has been out for a while.

If I try to use the 27+ connector and point to versions 31 and 32 of the server, I get an error like below and cannot proceed with the configuration of the server.

Unfortunately, JBoss Tools is not being updated with additions for newer servers. Instead, work has moved over to https://github.com/redhat-developer/rsp-server and its various extensions (for vscode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-server-connector or for intellij: https://github.com/redhat-developer/intellij-rsp/)

We also did release (or are in the process of releasing) a workaround eclipse plugin that uses the same product under the hood. You can test it out here: https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/staging/updates/

But we will no longer be expanding or improving or updating the old WTP-style servers as part of jbosstools / webtools extensions.
