Unable to start server in Eclipse Gallileo IDE with WAS7

Question

Server not starting in Eclipse Gallileo IDE with WAS7.
I run the server from outside of Eclipse but I want to start it from within the eclipse
Below are the details of my Workspace configurations :
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
WAS 7.0

An alert is coming saying "Cannot connect to VM socket closed".
I got the following exception in console :

JVMSHRC154E Escape character g not valid for cache name
<JIT: FullSpeedDebug: ignoring countString>
<JIT: FullSpeedDebug: ignoring countString>
JVMJ9VM015W Initialization error for library j9shr24(13): JVMJ9VM009E J9VMDllMain failed

Answer 1

Per the JVMSHRC154E , it appears that somehow -Xshareclasses:name=...%g... is being added to your server JVM command line. I do not know why there would be a difference between Eclipse and the command-line (perhaps a product issue that should be reported to IBM), but you could try working around the issue by adding -Xshareclasses:nonfatal to your server's generic JVM arguments.

Answer 2

IBM has released development tools for WebSphere Application Server (WAS) . You can download it from eclipse market place. There are tools for the WAS7 and up. (IBM Information page)

You probably need WAS 7 Tools - marketplace page .

The short instruction is: In the eclipse click Help->Eclipse Market Place->Search WebSphere Application Server Tools .

Answer 3

1. Inside eclipse installation folder go to \\plugins.....\\cdcla\\eclipse\\launch\\simple.
2. Open the file websphere70.properties.
3. You will see the following content and remove the

"_%g"

part and save it

shareclasses=webspherev70_%g,groupAccess,nonfatal
