MyEclipse: Myeclipse Blue 10.1 with WAS 8 edrennan@iso.com - Apr 13, 2012 - 08:25 PM Post subject: Myeclipse Blue 10.1 with WAS 8
I am unable to start WAS 8 server within MyEclipse v9.1 or v10.1 when it is configured without a Window Service. Here is the error when I am attempting to start the server in v10.1
ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1

Thanks in advance for your help.support-swapna - Apr 16, 2012 - 06:54 AM Post subject:
edrennan,
Sorry that you are seeing this issue.
1. What version of WebSphere 8 do you have, exactly. Could you make sure you have the latest version? Also, could you try running MyEclipse Blue as an administrator (right click > run as administrator) and see if that resolves the problem?
2. Can you please try these steps and check if it resolves the issue ?
a. To verify if the java application is executable, run it manually. (Open D:\Program
Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer8/java/bin/ and run the java application manually).
b. Next stop WAS 8 and Start again.
Let us know how it works for you.edrennan@iso.com - Apr 16, 2012 - 04:50 PM Post subject: MyEclipse Blue 10.1 with WAS 8
I am using IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.2 with fix packs:
8.0.0.2-WS-WAS-IFPM51889 8.0.2.20111123_1605
8.0.0.2-WS-WAS-IFPM53930 8.0.2.20120112_0922
8.0.0.2-WS-WAS-IFPM57565 8.0.2.20120218_1333
and my login account is an administrator. As instructed, I ran the java -version command where WAS 8 is installed. Here is the output.
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260_26sr1-20111114_01(SR1))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.6, JRE 1.6.0 Windows XP x86-32 20111113_94967 (JIT enabled, A
OT enabled)
J9VM - R26_Java626_SR1_20111113_1649_B94967
JIT - r11_20111028_21230
GC - R26_Java626_SR1_20111113_1649_B94967
J9CL - 20111113_94967)
JCL - 20111112_01
I have setup another profile as a Window Service and this profile does run within MyEclipse. I guess for now MyEclipse only supports WAS as a window service.
Thank You.support-tony - Apr 17, 2012 - 11:56 AM Post subject:
edrennan,
I was unable to replicate the problem at first, with a previous install of WebSphere 8. However, after installing the latest release, I did see the problem. In looking for the process_spawner.exe file, that file was in the bin folder of the root installation folder for my first WAS 8 install but was not there for the second install. I found two versions of the file in my second install. One was in the lib\native\win\x86_32 folder of the root installation folder and the other was in lib\native\win\x86_64. I copied the 64 bit version to my bin folder and that cured the problem. Please try that.
I don't know why I have different configurations with the two installations but I hope this gets round the problem for you.edrennan@iso.com - Apr 17, 2012 - 02:00 PM Post subject: Myeclipse Blue 10.1 with WAS 8
I followed your instructions and copied the process_spawner.exe from lib\native\win\x86_32 to the root bin and that worked.
Thank You very much for taking the time to resolve this issue.support-tony - Apr 18, 2012 - 05:28 AM Post subject:
edrennan,
I'm glad that worked for you; thanks for letting us know. We will be looking into this to see what we can do to avoid having to use the workaround.
