    installing on Debian testing

    arussel

      I am using java -jar rhds.jar to install rhds. (CR1)

      On debian stable with sun vm(1.5.0.10) installed with debian package it installs without problem.
      On debian testing with sun vm (1.5.0.13) the install failed when selecting the jvm folder with the message:
      The chose directory does not contain a Java VM

      I can't see any difference between the testing/stable folder and the JVM is valid(being used to run jboss 4.x and everything else).
      What check are done by the DS to verify it is a Java VM ?

          we check java -version output

          please report this issue in RHDS jira with details about what java -version say for those two.

          thanks

            my fault, the problem wasn't the jvm but the fact that I was on 64bit.
            I'll stay on JBoss Tools then :-)

                why would jboss tools help you here ?

                  If I try to install rhds on a 64 bit jvm the install doesn't work, I believe the installer check if it is a 32 bit jvm or not. It is actually said on the site that rhds is for 32bit jvm.

                  However on my eclipse 64 bit I can install jboss tools from the site:
                  http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development
                  and everything works fine.
                  I even got the redhat developper studio view and all.

                    since the visual page editor is only compiled for 32bit you should not be able to load it with JBossTools either.

                    We don't check for 32 bit; only for the version string.

                    I would really like to know the output of java -version for these to vms you are using.

                      On my home computer:
                      alexandre@home:~$ java -version
                      java version "1.5.0_13"
                      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05)
                      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_13-b05, mixed mode)
                      I can create jbpm process with the gui and in the rhds view I can browse the web (worked outside of the box, no need for mozilla_five_home and all) all installed with jboss tools.

                        so if everything works out of the box what is the issue ? I feel i'm missing something ;)
