jboss Getting started with jboss Installing on Mac OS X

Example

To install and run jboss AS standalone you can follow the processes described below(assuming that you already have java 7 and jdk installed on your mac):

1. Download the jboss application server from here.

2. Unzip the package and extract the folders

3. Set up the your bash_profile like the following:

   open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile
   

4. In your bash_profile add the following variables:

   export JBOSS_HOME=/Users/$USER/Desktop/Servers/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final
   JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`
   

5. Then move to jboss installation directory and cd into the bin directory.

6. In the bin directory

   ./standalone.sh
   

This should start your jboss as a standalone application server. You should see your admin page at http://localhost:8080/

NB: This installation process does not work with Java 8
