-------------------------------------

             Summary: Virtualbox could not be found by CDK adapter
                 Key: JBIDE-21170
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21170
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: openshift
    Affects Versions: 4.3.1.Beta1
            Reporter: Martin Malina
            Assignee: Rob Stryker


After I set up a CDK server adapter and fixed the wrong path to vagrant in the launch config, I then started the server adapter and got this:
Server CDK Server Adapter at localhost failed to start.
Console:
{code}
The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:

Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.
Vagrant uses the `VBoxManage` binary that ships with VirtualBox, and requires
this to be available on the PATH. If VirtualBox is installed, please find the
`VBoxManage` binary and add it to the PATH environmental variable.

Along with this, there was an Unhandled event loop exception in the error view:

In the command line, VBoxManage is accessible and it is located in /usr/local/bin/ and on my PATH.

Max suggested I could try to start Eclipse from command line instead of double-clicking in Finder (which is the normal way to do it on Mac) and that helped.

So for some reason when you start Eclipse using Eclipse.app from Finder, the PATH is incorrect.
