What is the suitable IDE to Mule 4.3 Kernel (CE) - ide

AnypointStudio 7.9 is just supporting for Mule 4.3 EE. Can anyone suggest a suitable IDE to Mule 4.3 Kernel (CE)?

Mule Kernel specifically targets no graphical IDE:
Download if you are:
Comfortable editing XML directly
Not looking for a graphical modeling and testing environment
Have already created and tested a Mule application and you need to deploy in a separate Mule standalone runtime

Try using a good text editor with XML and Maven support. Visual Studio Code is very good and has support for both.

How to build and install custom Mule ESB CE runtime in Anypoint Studio

I'm using Anypoint Studio 5.4.2 to develop Mule ESB flows targeted for Mule ESB Community Edition. I've hit a specific bug that is fixed in Mule ESB 3.7.3 - the Enterprise Edition runtime 3.7.3 is installed in Studio by default, but I want to use the Community Edition. I have checked the update site, but only 3.7.0 is available for Community Edition.
I did download the Mule ESB sources, and I'm able to build 3.7.3 community edition standalone server - that will be fine for deployment. I would like to build a Studio plugin so that I can have the 3.7.3 CE for running and testing within Studio. I have read the build instructions and browsed the source code tree, but I don't find anything pertinent - nothing interesting in the first 10 pages of Google results either.
Am I barking up the right tree here? If so, where can I find some documentation, or at least pointers, on how to get this working?
Thanks
these links might help you.
Basically, you need to change the packaging of your Mule CE project from .zip into .war so you could deploy it to tomcat.

You should also be aware of the differences between CE and EE.

I am using Anypoint Studio 5.4.2 with Enterprise Edition of 3.7.2. After looking into how server runs in studio, I believe that runtime is installed as plugin at path -
..\AnypointStudio5\plugins\org.mule.tooling.server.3.7.2.ee_5.3.2.201511052018\mule
Mule core jar along with other modules are at -
\org.mule.tooling.server.3.7.2.ee_5.3.2.201511052018\mule\lib\mule
You can take a look at similar structure in your studio and see if you can replace any jar that you have fixed.
If you want to find path of mule-core-*.jar path in studio, press CTRL+T and search for class MuleServer and check the jar path.
Edit: OR
If you have found any bug and fixed it, then you can report bug and contribute to get it fixed officially -

Is there Anypoint Studio for Mule that is Community Edition?

I believe that Mule Studio became Anypoint Studio. Is there a version of Anypoint Studio that is open source (free)? Specifically, I'm referring to the GUI workflow designer tool.
There is an answer to my question (thanks #Ryan), but it comes with a caveat. Yes, Anypoint Studio is open source but, by default, comes with the Enterprise runtime. One can download the Community Edition (CE) and use Anypoint Studio with that.
The caveat, however, is after taking time to configure a flow with the included DataMapper component, I received the following error when attempting to run my flow with the community edition. Basically, to execute a flow with DataMapper, you'll need the Enterprise version. DataMapper does not execute with the CE.
Anypoint Studio is just one offering for both Community and Enterprise editions. It is free to download and you just need to make sure you use the community runtimes using the following Update Site here:
Mule ESB Runtimes for Anypoint Studio - http://studio.mulesoft.org/r3/studio-runtimes
This runtime will then be available when you create a new project via the wizard or you can change an existing project by editing the mule-project.xml config file.
More details here: https://developer.mulesoft.com/docs/display/current/Adding+Community+Runtime
Yes, Mule Studio changed to Anypoint Studio which is open source and comes with the Enterprise Edition.
Community Edition is also available for download.
Few of the things like Datamapper which is deprecated and replaced with Data weave won't run on Community Edition.
Community version can be downloaded from MuleSoft website. Community edition comes with only open source connectors. For enterprise level connectors, you would need to have valid licensed version.

Mule:Difference between Anypoint studio and Mule studio IDE

I am new to Mule project development. Downloaded Anypoint studio and Mule studio. In Mule studio flow files are .mflow extension file whereas in anypoint it is just an xml configuration. Which one of these ide are used to develop Mule application and what is the difference in between these two. Exact purpose of two IDE's?
Mule Studio which was called earlier is now turned into Anypoint Studio with some advanced feature .. Anypoint Studio which was earlier called as Mule studio now no longer support .mflow which was earlier supported in Mule Studio as the main Mule application configuration file.
Now Mule has depreciated .mflow in Anypoint studio and instead of .mflow, .xml files are considered as main config file ... you can get more information here :- http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Anypoint+Studio+with+3.5.0-M4+Runtime+Early+Access+Release+Notes
Both Ides are same and used for Mule application development and Anypoint Studio is the advanced version of Mule Studio with new features
Mule Studio is an older version which is now called as Anypoint studio. Anypoint studio is very powerful IDE. The mflows in Mulestudio are now .xml format in anypoint studio and also endpoints are connectors.
Mule Studio was older version and AnypointStudio is latest version
MuleStudio has different project structure
AnypointStudio has different project structure.
MuleStudio supports .mflow but not AnypointStudio.
In anypoint studio muleflow are in src/main/app
In MuleStudio src/main/flows
Anypoint studio has advanced features
The current documentation is based on Mule Studio. The screens are Mule Studio. The Endpoints are now Connectors.
MuleStudio is also known as AnyPoint Studio and is used to design a 'flow', which is basically an integration having endpoints (inbound and outbound) and some pressing in-between. The Studio allows a visual or graphical view to design this flow. It supports round-tripping between the graphical and XML views. The Studio comes with an embedded runtime of the MuleESB.
The MuleESB is where the 'flow' designed in the Studio gets deployed. It is akin to an application server in concept. There are two versions available - a free, forum supported community edition and a paid for, SLA defined enterprise edition. The enterprise edition is a super set of the community edition in terms of features and capability.
Anypoint Studio is an eclipse based IDE for development of flow etc
Anypoint Platform is a Mulesofts Enterprise integration platform which includes all tools and products build and manage integration applications and APIs such as Runtime Manager and API Designer for RAML which is a Web Based editor for RAML and Gateway etc
Anypoint Studio is one of the tools in Anypoint Platform that caters for the design and implementation part of the application and API lifecycle.

Use older version of Mule CE ESB with AnypoinyStudio

Summary
Is it possible to use AnypointStudio together with an older version of Mule ESB Community edition, more precisely Mule ESB CE 3.3.x?
Longer description
I have a server running on Mule CE 3.3.1, and I need to do development on the project. The old version of Mule Studio that used 3.3.1 CE is no longer available. I've been in touch with Mulesoft directly, and they don't have any old build of Mule Studio available either.
The newer Anypoint Studio allows you to download an older version of the ESB and use that instead. However, the download site that adds a new runtime to the Studio only has versions 3.5 and 3.4 as choices. The 3.3.1 ESB is available as a separate download on Mulesoft's site, but I'm not sure how to integrate this with the Studio properly.
So:
Is there some way to use the Anypoint Studio together with ESB 3.3.x CE, or
Is there somewhere I can find an older version of MuleStudio which uses ESB 3.3.x, or
Do I have to migrate my project to ESB 3.4 CE and update the server in order to set up a new development environment for it?
Any help is much appreciated!
I'm afraid it there is no other solution than using an older MuleStudio. The container bundles that Studio uses are not exactly the standalone version of Mule. They do contain extra stuff to help Studio to understand the DSL, how to start/stop, etc.
Every new version of Studio supports a number of old versions of the ESB, but not all of them.
As Victor said, you cannot use Anypoint Studio with older versions. But you could try Mule IDE that was the IDE for those old versions. For sure it won't be as nice as Anypoint Studio, but you can give a try.
Older versions of MuleStudio are listed in the link:
http://mule-studio-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/
Just copy the and append it to the above URL to download the file
Example:
http://mule-studio-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/1.3.1-01-GA-CE/MuleStudio-CE-for-macosx-64bit-1.3.1-201209061215.zip
Click on Install New Software -> Work With (select drop down) ->Mule ESB Runtimes for Anypoint Studio.
You can see older versions of Mule Runtime.
Install them and use them in your project configuration.

Mule Data Mapper is Pay in Prodcution

Hi I am working with Mule ESB and I just want to clarify one doubt whether the use of Mule Data Mapper is Free Production Environment or not. Please share some link based on the use of Mule Data Mapper.
As stated here, the DataMapper is exclusive to Mule Enterprise Edition (the non-free version). You can, however, experiment with it in the Community Edition:
Full DataMapper functionality is exclusive to the Mule Enterprise
runtimes.
But we want to give you a taste of what you’re missing! Experiment
with DataMapper in the Studio visual editor in a project that uses a
Community Runtime to evaluate this powerful tool that maps data
through a graphical interface. Not only can you develop your
full-featured DataMapper application with a Community runtime, you can
preview your data mappings as well.
However, to RUN your application and observe DataMapper in a test or
production environment, you must run the application with an
Enterprise runtime. Learn more about Changing Runtimes in Studio.
