I can start this server normally outside eclipse (using the run.bat) without any problems !

Please help .

Sorry, forgot to mention that I am using jdk1.6.0_02 and JRE is 1.6.

Has anybody else faced the above problem ?

Hi KJ,

I think the first issue is that your JBoss server is shutting down unexpectedly (or had you been trying to shutdown the server when you got the error?).

Second, in Eclipse, in the Server view, right click on the Jboss server that you have configured and click "open".
Click on the "Open Launch Configuration" link.
In the Twiddle arguments, you should see the text "-S" in the program arguments.
Add the following text to these arguments "-S --user=[username] --password=[password]"

The username and password are the values you set when you were configuring JMX during the JBoss installation.

Hope that helps.

Sankar.

The username and the corresponding password can be found in

%JBOSS_HOME%\server\default\conf\props\jmx-console-users.properties

The second line in this file should have the username and password defined as:

username=password

[sparshaadi]

Great !

I just jumped with joy when it started ! ;)

I knew abt the username and password but didn't know that I had to configure it in twiddle.

I had messed up all the properties files(conf) and xml configs for jmx-console and was just short of pulling my hair trying to get it to work since yest !

Thank you so much !

KJ

I knew abt the username and password but didn't know that I had to configure it in twiddle .

Me neither. The first time I came across it, I assumed I'd have to change the STOP arguments. I then noticed the "-S" switch in the the TWIDDLE tab. I'm not sure why this is, but it works for now. If someone in the JBoss IDE dev team sees this, they can clarify why the twiddle args are used to stop the server.
