[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-24006?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-24006: ------------------------------------- Steps to replicate: 1) Start a server on port 9990. Easiest way is to run a simple java class: {code} public class DateServer { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { ServerSocket listener = new ServerSocket(9990); try { while (true) { Socket socket = listener.accept(); try { PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true); out.println(new Date().toString()); System.out.println("Doin' a business"); } finally { socket.close(); } } } finally { listener.close(); } } } {code} Step 2: Start WF or EAP server that requires use of port 9990. Server gets set to 'starting', and console shows output. Step 3: Note that the server terminates itself. It failed to start up successfully, and so aborted. Older servers may not do this. They may stay up despite having no services capable of loading. But WF11 (and some earlier ones, not sure which) will terminate themselves automatically. Step 4: Note that the error log view has no clear error listed, and no error dialog pops up. Suggested new error string for this case: TERMINATED_PREMATURE=Server processes have terminated prematurely. Please check your server logs for more details. This string will only be used if the server is switched from 'starting' to 'stopped' with no poller or other mechanism ever accepting the server as started. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
