So I created a Websphere Application Server in Eclipse and pointed it at my WAS_HOME and the profile I created. Whenever I try to start the server, it starts fine and according to the log I see...
[2/22/12 14:16:25:037 EST] 00000000 WsServerImpl A WSVR0001I: Server server1 open for e-business
However, Eclipse says it is still waiting to start, typically it sticks at 23%. Eventually it times out saying it couldn't start, however, the instance is still up and running fine.
How do I get it to recognize the running instance?
Your workspace folder/name could be the issue.
or for me it was the WAS installation itself. When I moved it to C:\was8 everything started to work properly. The default puts it into c:\Program Files... and that was hanging at 23%
a. Please use websphere jre to replace sun hotspot vm to launch the eclipse, like below setting in the eclipse.ini
-vm
D:/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/bin/javaw.exe
b. Please make sure there is not a specail character (like 23%) in the websphere path or eclipse workpsace.
Recently, I've got the same problem with Eclipse Luna and Websphere Developer Tools... The problem was the eclipse proxy configuration
Increase the initial and max heap sizes of the VM that is loading Eclipse.
