Assign proper VM to tomcat runtimes ----------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-17468 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17468 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: runtime-detection, server Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta2 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Fred Bricon Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta3 It appears the tomcat runtime detector fails to properly detect tomcat 8 instances when run with JDK 6, which caused the test failures in JBIDE-17288 : {code:title=https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-server_master/493/testReport/org.jboss.tools.wtp.runtimes.tomcat.tests/TomcatDetectionTest/testTomcatDetection/} Error Message expected:<3> but was:<2> Stacktrace java.lang.AssertionError: expected:<3> but was:<2> at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:88) at org.junit.Assert.failNotEquals(Assert.java:743) at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:118) at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:555) at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:542) at org.jboss.tools.wtp.runtimes.tomcat.tests.TomcatDetectionTest.testTomcatDetection(TomcatDetectionTest.java:64) {code} Tomcat 8 needs a JDK 7 to be properly set. [~nickboldt]'s PR, while strenghtening the tests, is not enough to address the issue/ So instead of using the default VM, we should assign the most appropriate one in the detector.
