    where is the launch configuration

    jackxxwu

      i have
      eclipse 3.4.2+JbossAS tools 2.0.0.GA-R200903031330-H8+Jboss EnterprisePlatform-4.3.0.GA.

      i followed the instructions here:
      http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.0.0.CR2/en/as/html_single/index.html

      up to the point where it says:

      "Figure 3.15. XPath Pattern for a Server Port

      The settings related to Publishing , Timeouts or Server Polling can be also adjusted in the Server editor.

      Server editor makes it also possible to modify the server's launch configuration. It's just after clicking Open launch configuration link. In the open window there are the tabs for setting command line arguments and other things that are relevant to launching the server."

      but i can't see the "launch configuration link". it is just not there. i would attach a picture of the UI if i knew how to attach pictures. i know exactly where that link is, because i used a old version of the jboss tools before. but after i update, the link is gone.

      is it a bug? how do i work around it? i need to add some additional path to the jboss start up classpath. thanks.

      jack.

          i now believe it is a bug. there is a disconnect between the servers and the run configure dialogs. when i try to add the run configure, my server does not show up in the drop down list.

          i also try to change the .launch file under .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches. but the moment i start the server, the configure file is over written. it looks like the configuration is really written in a lucene index and is fetched.

            Right click server > Open launch configuration

            Double click server > the editor that shows up has link to the launch config.

            And no there is no lucene index here - just that we use whatever is configured in the server object to do the launch config.

              Max, thank you for your reply. but believe me these two options are no there on the UI.


              "Right click server > Open launch configuration" -> there is no "Open launch configuration" when right click on the server. there is only "open", which opens up the server editor.

              "Double click server > the editor that shows up has link to the launch config." ->the editor does not have the link to the launch config.

              i wish this forum allows picture attachments so i can send you a screen shot.

              i have a clean eclipse installation and i added the jboss tools by going to the update site.

                ok, just noticed that in latest build that option is gone ;(

                Opened https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3923 to get that looked into

                  i didn't understand, is it a bug or not? i still can't see any menu option of editing launch configs for jboss.

                  also is there any reason why launching jboss drinks ip 100% CPU??

                  this didn't happen in previous releases.

                    This is fixed in 3.0.0.GA, double click the server and the server editor has the link.

                    100% cpu were a transient bug which afaik is also fixed in GA.
