This is in the workspace log: {code} !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core 4 0 2014-05-19 13:55:19.968 !MESSAGE !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.regex.Matcher.getTextLength(Matcher.java:1283) at java.util.regex.Matcher.reset(Matcher.java:309) at java.util.regex.Matcher.<init>(Matcher.java:229) at java.util.regex.Pattern.matcher(Pattern.java:1093) at org.eclipse.rse.internal.services.shells.TerminalServiceHostShell.writeToShell(TerminalServiceHostShell.java:158) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core.RSEHostShellModel$ServerShellModel.createStartupShell(RSEHostShellModel.java:106) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core.StandardRSEStartLaunchDelegate.executeRemoteCommand(StandardRSEStartLaunchDelegate.java:126) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core.StandardRSEJBossStartLaunchDelegate.actualLaunch(StandardRSEJBossStartLaunchDelegate.java:39) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core.StandardRSEStartLaunchDelegate.launch(StandardRSEStartLaunchDelegate.java:59) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core.subsystems.RSECommandLineLaunchController.launch(RSECommandLineLaunchController.java:73) at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.wtp.core.server.launch.ControllableServerLaunchConfiguration.launch(ControllableServerLaunchConfiguration.java:52) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.core.LaunchConfiguration.launch(LaunchConfiguration.java:884) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.core.LaunchConfiguration.launch(LaunchConfiguration.java:739) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.core.LaunchConfiguration.launch(LaunchConfiguration.java:731) at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server.startImpl2(Server.java:3541) at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server.startImpl(Server.java:3477) at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server$StartJob.run(Server.java:367) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:53) {code} One other symptom is that when I open the Launch config from Server editor, both the fields for Startup and Shutdown scripts are empty - shouldn't they show the calculated script?
