Cannot configure Eclipse Server runtime for JBoss Web 2.1.9.GA

458 Views Asked by At

I am having trouble using my local JBoss Web 2.1.9.GA instance within my local Eclipse installation as a Server Runtime Environment.

Our client uses JBoss Web 2.1.9.GA instead of a standard Tomcat 6 installation, and so I am required to test and debug with a local JBoss Web 2.1.9.GA instance. Now, I am aware that JBoss Web is simply a rebranded and only slightly modified version of Tomcat 6, but when I try to use the "Apache > Apache Tomcat v6.0" server runtime as my choice, and then select the server base folder on my machine, I receive the following error at the top of the dialog:

The Apache Tomcat installation at this directory is version 2.1.9.GA. A Tomcat 6.0 installation is expected.

I am unsure how to get this working as it is intended to work at this point; there doesn't seem to be any options that will accept a JBoss Web 2.1.9.GA server folder. There also seems to be practically zero information online concerning the use of JBoss Web within Eclipse.

For context, I am using the SpringSource Tool Suite v2.9.2.RELEASE pre-packaged Eclipse install on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.4. It shouldn't matter however, java is java, and Eclipse is Eclipse, yes?

Has anyone had experience and luck with this?
