[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16400?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-16400: ----------------------------------------- [~rob.stryker], [~mmalina] - JBDS/JBT User Guide currently states the following: {quote} *Server state detectors* This section specifies which method the IDE should use to verify the started and stopped status of the server. There are four methods from which to choose: * Web Port, which pings the web port on the host to see if the server responds * Timeout, which waits for a specified time duration and then declares the start or stop operation a success without any actual verification * Process Terminated (available for Shutdown Poller of local servers only), which checks if a server process is still alive and sets the server status to stopped when it is terminated * JMX, which polls JMX, the JBoss Management service Note that server state detection options are disabled if the Server is externally managed check box under Server Behavior is selected.Server state detectors {quote} Perhaps the Timeout statement should be modified to: "Timeout, which waits for a specified time duration and then declares the start or stop operation a success without actual verification *(note that for local servers the termination of the server process immediately changes the server state to stopped regardless of whether the end of the timeout period is reached)* -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
