| You can explore the contents of installed servers using the Virgo Server Views. These views are designed to help you | |
| get to resources on the server without having to switch to the native file system, and integrate those resources with | |
| other Eclipse IDE tools. (You can also use the Virgo views from within other perspectives, of course. Select | |
| <span class="guimenu">Window</span> → <span class="guisubmenu">Show View</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Other...</span> | |
| and then open the "Virgo" folder to display them.) | |
| </p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="views-respository"></a>Repository View</h3></div></div></div><p>The Virgo Repository view allows you to work directly with the contents of installed bundles and libraries on | |
| Virgo Runtime instances. | |
| </p><p> | |
| <img src="images/views-repository.png"> | |
| </p><p>To view resources, select a repository in the Servers View. You can customize what and how they are displayed | |
| using the view toolbar buttons. | |
| </p><p>You can select multiple respositories as well, allowing you to easily navigate and compare resources on | |
| multiple servers. You can double-click on items, open them, and even explore class hierchies and other Eclipse | |
| features by right clicking on the repository resources. | |
| </p><p> | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Hint:</em></span> | |
| In the example below we have selected the Flat Layout and can see that javax.ejb library is present in one | |
| Virgo Runtime, but not the other. | |

| through files on the server instance to find the parameters you need to adjust, simply select the server(s) you want | |
| to find parameters for, and a list of properties files will be displayed in the editor. To open a file in the | |
| appropriate Eclipse editor, just double-click on it. Or open a tree node and double-click on a specific property and | |
| the property value will be highlighted for editing. | |

| Not sure where a given property is even located? You can easily see all properties within a given | |
| Virgo Runtime | |
| across all properties files, sorted by name. Click the "List" button in the view | |
| toolbar. You can even see properties across runtime instances by selecting multiple servers in the Server View. | |

| Virgo Runtime instance(s) you are interested in. Then double-click to open the relevant log file. | |

| activity for the last server instance you launched, assuming that you haven't launched another console hosted | |
| process in the mean-time. (This view is not connected to the Server View -- if you want to examine consoles for | |
| differnt running servers, click the "Down Triangle" icon in the view toolbar and select the appropriate console.) | |
