Server Fails to Start (Kinda) - Mixing of JRE6/JDK7 on Mac OS X --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-13768 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13768 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: JBossAS/Servers Reporter: Burr Sutter Assignee: Burr Sutter Attachments: Error_Failed_to_start.png, failed_start.png, Installation1.png, runtime_JDK_7_selection.png, server_state_detectors.png My Mac has both the Apple Java 6 and Oracle Java 7 installed. If I take the defaults from the JBDS Installer, allowing it to pick a Java 6 JRE, but then manually adding a server with Java 7 - the IDE fails to see that the server started. Installation1.png - a screenshot of the defaults selected by the installer. This places the following in my jbdevstudio.ini -vm /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java and in About - Installation Details - Configuration: -vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework Adding a New Server (EAP 6 or 6.1) - but selecting Java 7 for the Runtime - is where the IDE fails to see that the server has started (runtime_JDK_7_selection.png) The result is a failed start (failed_start.png)
