[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18457) EAP 6.1 fails to start on Windows 7 - stuck on Starting

[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18457?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13007379#comment-13007379 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-18457:
---------------------------------------

Update: It seems that the culprit was the java version used.
I tried the following:
jdk 1.8 - fail
jdk 1.7 - ok
jre 1.7 - ok (but not for Brian - weird)
jdk 1.8 - fail

So if we ignore that strange inconsistency of jre 1.7 (worked for me, not for Brian), I would conclude that this was caused by wrong java used. It works with jdk 1.7 for both of us. And since EAP 6.1 is pretty old, it does not support Java 8.

Still, it would be good if the IDE behave better than just get stuck at Starting (and eventually it fails on timeout).

> This is followup of Brian's comments in JBIDE-16066 where he couldn't get EAP 6.1 to start on Windows 7. I tried the same and get the same result. Everything works fine on my mac.
> 1. Start JBDS 8.0.0.CR1
> 2. Download EAP 6.1 via runtime detection
> 3. Start the server
> In my case, at first I got "Starting jboss-eap-6.1: (0 %)" in the status bar and nothing else for like 5 minutes, then the server console showed up and showed:
> {code}
> 15:28:51,082 INFO  [org.jboss.modules] (main) JBoss Modules version 1.2.0.Final-redhat-1
> 15:28:51,704 INFO  [org.jboss.msc] (main) JBoss MSC version 1.0.4.GA-redhat-1
> 15:28:51,824 INFO  [org.jboss.as] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS015899: JBoss EAP 6.1.0.GA (AS 7.2.0.Final-redhat-8) starting
> {code}
> And with this the status bar changed to 100 % and the progress view shows:
> Preparing launch deletage.
> It's been like this at least 5 minutes now. The server is not started.
> I checked with Brian and he just didn't witness the first part where there was no console, but he did get what I got after 5 minutes - his server was stuck and would never really start.
> ATM I only tried this the one way - EAP 6.1 downloaded via runtime detection.
> In my case I have Oracle jdk 1.8, in Brian's case it was 1.7, so it doesn't seem to matter.
> Right now I haven't tried other server versions.
