回答1:

This is a defect caused by a combination of Java (does not recognize Windows 8) and Liberty (does not handle unknown Windows os.name gracefully), so I recommend opening a PMR with IBM. As a workaround, you can specify -Dos.name=Windows 8 in jvm.options.

Edit: This problem has been fixed in the V8.5.5.Next Alpha.

Edit 2: This problem is listed as part of APAR PI26048, which is "currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.4."

回答2:

Please use 64bit eclipse Juno version for Windows 8 64bit OS. The WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Liberty Profile will start without any errors, In the above case.

this is not an IBM issue. its a known bug in the JVM http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7170169.

JVM accidently identifies windows8 as "WinNT" . either use the jvm.options workaround (to give Liberty a hint of the true OS) or upgrade your JVM with a better build.
