What’s New

  • Improved palette which enables users to more quickly discover what they’re looking for by searching directly for operations and saving favorites

  • Users can now explicitly manage which connectors and modules are associated with a project.

  • Connectors and modules are now managed directly by Anypoint Studio, and do not require users to manage update sites.

  • Easily navigate to code from visual view by right clicking on a component and clicking “View XML”

  • Maven is now embedded out of the box inside Studio. Additionally, every project now has a Maven POM, making it easier to incorporate projects into CI/CD systems.

  • Flows and scopes are now collapsable.

  • Updated icons make flows easier to read.

  • DataSense metadata is now stored in a human readable format this is easier to share, commit and merge.

  • Support for importing API specifications from Design Center

  • Improved user experience for connector and modules

  • Simplified experience to manage credentials when logging into the Anypoint Platform

Beta status in this release indicates the functionality is open for customers to trial for the purpose of learning the new functionality and/or testing functionality in a non-production environment. Basic functionalities to enable core use cases are complete, and MuleSoft is in the process of verifying design and evolving feature completeness. There is no SLA or technical support obligations for the Beta features. Beta releases are suitable for use in test environments or for limited-use tests. Please see our beta trial license for full terms of use.

Hardware Requirements

  • For most use cases, Anypoint Studio with the 4.0.0 Beta Runtime does not change hardware or software requirements from the previous Studio 6x versions.

  • MuleSoft recommends a minimum of 4GB of free RAM available on a developer workstation. As applications become complex, consider adding more RAM.

  • This version of Anypoint Studio requires Java 8.

  • 2GHz CPU

  • 10GB free hard drive space

Software Requirements

Software

Version

Java Environments

  • Oracle JDK 1.8.0

Operating Systems

  • MacOS 10.10.0

  • Windows (32- and 64-bit) Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10

  • RHEL 7.0

  • Ubuntu 15.04 or later

Maven

Studio comes with Maven 3.3.9 bundled, but you can externally use the versions: 3.3.3 or your own 3.3.9

Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it also occurs on Linux and macOS.

Although the steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software, a typical solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and java executables, the Studio install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions for McAfee Viruscan, Windows Defender, and Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Known Issues

  • DataWeave editor does not support regex as function parameters STUDIO-9069

  • Metadata: can not create XML types from samples that contains CDATA STUDIO-9436

  • Application-types file is not updated when deleting MP from XML view. STUDIO-9505

  • Metadata tree is not being updated for Flows. STUDIO-9522

  • Dependencies are not refreshed properly if the pom is updated while the dependencies are being resolved.STUDIO-9540

  • APIKit does not support metadata

  • First time you create a MUnit test from a Flow you get a message saying that you have to wait for the dependencies to be added to the project and then try again.
    Some existing features in Studio 6.x are not yet supported in Studio 7: Domains, Custom Policies, APISync, Anypoint Private Cloud, Gateway runtime connectivity.

  • To be able to deploy a project which uses the runtime 4.0.0 into Cloudhub you need to have certain permissions in your Anypoint Platform user to see runtime 4.0.0 when deploying it.

  • Anypoint Studio uses your configured default browser to display web content such as Exchange and the Runtime Manager UI when deploying an application to Anypoint Platform. If your default internet browser does not display this content correctly, you can configure Anypoint Studio to use a Mozilla/XULRunner runtime environment as the underlying renderer for the Web UI. See Troubleshooting Issues with Your Default OS Browser for more information.

  • Mule modules needs to provide icons, today many of the modules have the generic icon. MULE-11437

  • XML Metadata is not generated correctly when the provided sample has namespaces. MULE-12859

Migration Guide

Studio 7 only supports Mule 4 projects. The structure of the project, export format, XML and scripting language are different. For the beta, users must migrate Mule 3 projects to Mule 4 manually, before they can be used in Studio 7. Please see the Mule migration guide for more information.
