JMX connection to AS7/EAP6 not working if server started with Java 1.7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-12109 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12109 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: server Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR1 Environment: jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v20120605-2229-H183-CR1.jar Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Martin Malina Fix For: 4.1.1.Final When you set up your AS7/EAP6 server to use Java 1.7 runtime, the tooling fails to connect to the server via JMX. The error in the log is: {code} !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.jmx.integration 4 0 2012-06-06 12:17:52.897 !MESSAGE Error connecting to jmx for server jboss-eap-6.0.0.CR1 !STACK 1 org.jboss.tools.jmx.core.JMXException: Unable to reach JBoss instance.

AS7/EAP6 with Java 1.7 worked for me in JBDS in the past, but that was probably before the jmx connection started working correctly at all.
