So unless you connect a debugger (like Eclipse IDE), the server will be in suspended state. You have 2 options: 1) Disable debugging - You can do this in the run.bat file by commenting out the JAVA_OPTS section where the debugging options are set or 2) Set the suspend=n in the JAVA_OPTS. This way, the server will start without waiting for the debugger to attach itself. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4198284#...
