I've recently downloaded STS and I tried firing up the TC Server, but it gives this error:
Server Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition v3.1 failed to start.
Error: Could not find or load main class
Files.Spring.sts-bundle.pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.1.0.RELEASE.base-instance.conf.logging.properties
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option
MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0
I went to the folder and it seems that the properties file is there.
Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my settings?
I guess you might have already solved this. But just answering.
You need to make sure that there are no whitespaces in the path of your STS location.
Example : F:\softwares\STS - is the example of location to which you can extract your zip file of STS or install you exe file of STS.
Wrong : F:\softwares\IDE Softwares\STS - Is illegal. Pivotal is expecting no whitespaces in the location from which it gets the server source i.e., you sts installation location
STS location could be F:\softwares\STS\spring-tool-suite-3.7.0\sts-bundle, so that your server location would be F:\softwares\STS\spring-tool-suite-3.7.0\sts-bundle\pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.1.1.RELEASE.
Final solution is, there should not be any whitespaces in the path from which STS pics up the server.
I had the same problem. Apparently there is a bug with too long path to that file (logging.properties) and I solved it by shortening the path to the
... /conf/logging.properties file
I simply moved that file to c:/dev and changed the path in launch configuration
(double click server name in the "servers" tab and click on "open launch configuration" -> click "Arguments" -> edit path in the "VM arguments" section)
OR
you can move the whole STS folder into folder that has shorter name.
