Description Wolfgang Knauf

Build Identifier: 

See this JBoss forum thread: http://community.jboss.org/thread/167106

To sum it up: when starting JBoss 6.1 using the WTP server runtime "JBoss 5.0", there will be no console output at all and the server will not be detected as started.

For the current JBoss 6.1 snapshot, a new VM argument must to be added to the server definition:

<vmParameters>-Dprogram.name=run.bat .. -Dlogging.configuration=file:"${serverRootDirectory}/logging.properties"</vmParameters>

The current 6.1 snapshot can be found here:
https://hudson.jboss.org/jenkins/view/JBoss%20AS/job/JBoss-AS-6.1.x/lastBuild/

Probably this means that a new server runtime has to be created for JBoss 6.1, because adding this argument would probably break older JBoss versions.

For those who run in this issue and want to use : I have a modified WTP JBoss plugin here, which contains a working server definition for JBoss 6.1: http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~knauf/public

Reproducible: Always

I consider this irrelevant now, because "JBoss Tools" plugin is the way to use for JBoss servers. See bug #427598
