> When starting the JBossAS 4.2.2GA with JBoss Web native configured from within a JBoss Server configured with the Eclipse IDE (JBoss Tools), I'm getting the error '... libapr-1.dll was not found ..' as a popup. After closing the popup for 3 times the server starts, but does so with errors when starting the Tomcat https connector. When running the run.bat script from the command line everything works fine.
> Tomcat is configured to used the AprLifecycleListener and a https connector for APR (OpenSSL style configuration).
> The server launch configuration in eclipse contains the $JBOSS_HOME\bin\native directory in the -Djava.library.path variable
> The problem seems to be that the libtcnative-1.dll is loading the libapr-1.dll dynamically but since the Path environment variable does not contain the $JBOSS_HOME\bin\native directory the library is not found (setting this is done by the run.bat script).
> If I put the native directory in the Path variable, the server starts up correctly, so just defining the java.library.path in the launch configuration does not suffice.
> The problem can be fixed I think, if instead of setting the java.library.path the launch configuration extends the environment (Tab Environment) to contain the native directory in the Path environment variable and changing the class 
> org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core.server.internal.launch.AbstractJBossLaunchConfigType to add this to the 'VMRunnerConfiguration' in the 'actualLaunch' method.
