Eclipse Ganymede : undefined command: plug-in='org.eclipse.t

[longbeach]

hi,
i am not sure this problem is related to JBoss 5, but one never knows.
I guess it is a problem with Eclipse IDE 3.4 (Ganymede) maybe one of you has had this problem before and knows a way to solve it.

Using Eclipse Ganymede 3.4,
i am trying to start JBoss 5, without any project in it.
I get an error message stating that Server Jboss was unable to start within 999 seconds.

I checked the log file in eclipse .metadate\.log\.log and i get the following messages :

# !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 2 0 2009-03-17 07:33:34.877

Does anyone know where the problem comes from ? It worked before, and I do not think i have done anything wrong with my eclipse configuration.
I found a similar problem here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=237425
but there is no obvious solution.

Thanks for helping.

Hi,

do you see JBoss console output in eclipse?

According to the extract from your ".log" file, I guess that there is some version chaos with your eclipse. Did you get a fresh install, or did you upgrade from an older version? If you did the latter: download a plain Ganymede package, use a clean/new workspace, and give it another try.

If this does not help: go the the WebToolsPlatform newsgroup at http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.php and ask your question there.

Best regards

Wolfgang

hi,
thanks very much for helping.
i will try tonight to start from a new installation of Ganymede, with no project installed and see if it works.

It is pretty weird, it says JBoss has started but Eclipse times out ...
Maybe the port i use for JBoss (8085) is blocked, i don't know.

I haven't messed up with the Eclipse plugins, installation, ... I do not know why all of a sudden it's not starting anymore.
Very annoying.

I haven't used Eclipse integrated with AS, so my question might be silly :) How does Eclipse know it should use 8085 instead of the default 8080 to check for the server availability? I mean, have you configured that part correctly?

hello jaikiran,
yes, i have configured the server options correctly, it is pretty easy to do (double click on the added server, and change port to whatever you want).
It has been running correctly for the past 6 months, I even remember asking you some questions about EJB 3 ;-)

Well, if i do not find a solution, i will have to start all over again.
The export / import of projects in Eclipse is not always satisfactory, since it does not save all the Eclipse configuration (added jars, paths, etc).

what a pain :(

hi, i found out what the problem was. It had nothing to do with Eclipse or JBoss.
My hosts file did not have a mapping to localhost (127.0.0.1) !!!
