Your server is most liekly password protected. You need to either add the proper password flags to the stop and twiddle tabs of the server launch configuration, or you need to modify your server's preferences for startup / shutdown. flags: double click your server, click edit launch configuration when the editor pops up, browse to the proper tab and add the proper flags. startup behavior: window -> preferences -> jboss ide -> servers, select your server, verify / select / change the timeouts and the behavior upon timeout.
