What are the recommended plugins for eclipse to work with weblogic? Specifically I would need to work with older version of weblogic, 8.1, however I could use any version of Ecplise. I would like to debug the application and set breakpoints etc.

My bigger task is to move the project over to Jboss, can I deploy the same app on both app servers within Eclipse with presumably 2 sets of config files etc, any advice? 2 separate projects?

If you are using Eclipse with the WTP, then Weblogic Integration is available through an additional server adapter. To get it, right-click the Servers view then select New > Server and click on Download additional server adapters. Select the Oracle extension from the list and proceed with the install. Once installed, you'll be able to add a new server for WebLogic from version 8.1 to 11g (for BEA WebLogic Server v8.1, look under BEA System, Inc.).

If you have WTP servers created for JBoss and WebLogic, it's definitely possible to deploy and run the same project on both of them, there is nothing particular to do (the proprietary deployment descriptors can coexist if you want to use them, you don't have to create 2 projects for this).
