JBOSS Dev Studio "Software/Update" not working

[vicedja]

Folks,

Hear is the .log error that I receive when trying to use JBOSS Central "Software/Update" from JBDS 8.0.2.GA:  "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect  ... "

I have tried several things including adding “-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true” to the -vmargs, and upgrading from JBDS 7 to JBDS 8.0.2.GA.  This issues is also causing other connection problems from JBDS/Collabnet.  My virtual machine is set to "...jdk1.8.0_31/bin/javaw.exe" in the jbdevstudio.ini file...I have to use this setting for ActiveClient issues.

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Sounds related to [JBDS-2370] Bad/non-helping error message when central has no connection - JBoss Issue Tracker or [JBDS-2371] should we add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to jbdevstudio.ini and "Core Features" p2.inf to avoid JDK7/IP…

Are you behind a proxy?

I don't see the .log errors you mention. Can you link to it via a pastebin? Need more details than just "SocketException: Permission denied: connect ..."

Nick,

Thanks for your reply!  It turns out that my personal firewall was blocking java 8 from accessing the internet.
