Opening MobileFirst Console throws errors (Eclipse)

Question

I'am using Eclipse JUNO 4.2.2 for JAVA EE Developers with IBM Mobile First 6.3 Developer Edition.

I am also using Java 1.7 and the ADT plug-in in Eclipse. My problem is when i try to visualize my App in the MobileFirt Console i have an error that says

Server error. Contact the server administrator.

And i have the following logs in my eclipse console:

Answer 1

Whenever there are unexplained Mobilefirst Studio errors, such as yours, it is typically best to:

1. Create a new workspace
2. Import the project
3. Re-build

If it fails still you should install the latest 6.3 plugin. You can obtain it from the following location: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/downloads/#past-releases
