Hi,

When I check the log, there are only two error messages in the log for today;

problems occurred when invoking code from plugin "org.eclipse.core.runtime".
problems occurred when invoking code from plugin "org.eclipse.core.runtime".

Just noticed something... Under the Debug configuration
JBoss 4.0.x - When I select my configuration, the first tab (Home) has a red 'X' and an error message at the top of the screen No Jboss 4.0.x Directory.

So I did a quick test and configured the JBoss 3.2.x, even though I have Jboss 4.0.1 installed... And it does not produce the error message... I then can launch Jboss through the IDE... But when I try to shutdown I get the following error message 'Fatal exception occurred. Program will exit'...

The same problem append when I try tothe first tab (Home) has a red 'X' and an error message at the top of the screen No Jboss 4.0.x Directory.
create a new Jboss 4.0.x server configuration:

Did you found a patch or a workarounf for this ?

I had the same problem after installing a fresh copy of 4.0.3SP1 with the "Tomcat only" option selected (I used the installer jar). Based on info from another post I re-installed with the "all" option instead and the problem went away.

It appears that the JBoss-IDE configuration page is looking for particular files and/or directories that do not get installed in all configuration options. So, the safest thing seems to be to install everything.

This restriction is fine if there is something that this Eclipse plugin requires to function correctly, however it would be nice if the error message could tell you what it's actually looking for.

put it in jira as an improvement request

Done - see http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-255.
