          Components: JBossAS/Servers
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR1
         Environment: jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v20120605-2229-H183-CR1.jar

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}

{code}

This has several consequences:
- server cannot be connected in MBean Explorer
- management startup poller does not work and hence the server keeps starting forever until it reaches timeout (and then it tries to stop the server, but fails to do so - see below)
- server fails to stop because it seems it tries to do so using management service, second attempt kills the process successfully

Unfortunately I didn't catch this earlier. 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.
