Hi Max, Thanks for the response and I would be happy to do that but for some reason I cannot find this option! Under Window -> Preferences -> Server I have three options: Audio = Doesn't mention timeout Launching = Doesn't mention timeout FYI this does mention: Checkbox for Automatically publish when starting servers Save dirty editors before starting the server When switching to a different server mode When switching to the server out of debug mode When switching the server into the debug mode, re-enable breakpoints When required, restart the server Runtime Environment The settings for the server only has: Name = JBoss 5.0 Runtime Home Directory = /home/tom/blacktie/utils/jboss-5.0.0.GA JRE = Default JRE Configuration = minimal I only installed the JBossAS tools into Ganymede using the update manager so maybe I needed to install some other JBoss feature/plugin to get the additional options? If you can point me to the configuration to alter to just rely on timeout that would be great, Tom View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4213498#...
