mmdhpotzsh

Took me a while to figure out, so here are the steps I followed to get everything working:

1) download and extract the latest JBoss AS 7 version here:

http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz

2) extracted files go to /usr/bin

3) download and extract the latest version of Eclipse Indigo for mac 64-bits here:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/indigo/SR2/eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz

4) extracted files go to /Applications

5) Install my JBoss Tools:
Go to Help>Install New Software..->Add
In the “Location”, add this url:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/
Check the upper box to install all JBoss 7 related tools

6) after that,  follow this tutorial to get the JBoss Application Server in Eclipse for easy management:

7) start the server in Eclipse. To open the web interface, go to http://localhost:8080

8) To manage your server, you will need to add an admin user first.
you do this by using the command line and run:
sh /usr/bin/<Jboss-AS-dir>/bin/add-user.sh
the group default is okay (just press enter) and choose your own username and password (twice) combo. after that, confirm by typing YES.
now access the management interface here:

http://localhost:9990/console
