Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-12229:
-------------------------------------

I just made a commit. It seems on linux, jre's under 1.7.x were NEVER Returning -server anymore. This was clearly a bug. However I am NOT able to replicate at all where a server adds the -server flag and shouldn't.  

On windows, for ALL versions of java, the location of the 'server' folder is ${jdkhome}\jre\bin\server    This has not changed through any versions of java at all.  The code in JavaUtils clearly recognizes this fact:  

{code}
        private static File getWindowsServerLibFolder(String version, IVMInstall install) {
              IPath locPath = new Path(install.getInstallLocation().getAbsolutePath());
              return locPath.append("jre").append("bin").append("server").toFile(); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$ //$NON-NLS-3$
        }
{code}

Are you sure you're using a clean workspace with all new servers? This will not update old servers, but will only affect the server on creation.

> When you try to run EAP6/AS7 server with Java JRE (not JDK) as the java runtime, it will fail because the startup command includes "-server" which is not supported by JRE. If you use Java JDK instead, it works fine.
> See JBIDE-12227 for more details about the errors displayed.
> It would be good if the error made it obvious what the problem actually is.
