[ BUILD # : 200509221800 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ] Suddently, during development it turned out that ROOT.war couldn't be deployed onto JBoss because of some non-NetBeans-related issues and NetBeans had problems with starting/stopping the instance. Upon unsuccessful *stop*, the following message pops up: JBoss Application Server 4.0 Start Failed , but it was being stopped. Note the 'Start Failed'. Besides, why doesn't the error message contain the user-defined name of the instance?
Evaluation: 1. Looking at the code I really do not see any place where it could say Start Failed when it was trying to stop. Reproducible test case would help, but I understand this is hard to reproduce. Is not it possible that in the middle of those problems with start/stop you are describing the plugins was actually trying to start the server after it was stopped or something? I'd close this issue after the second issue gets fixed. 2. Changing fail message to show instance name instead of JBAS4.0 is easy: JBStartServer, 378.
There was about ten bugs related to the JBoss starting/stopping/status recognizing fixed. The most of them in the JBStartServer class; the one mentined above in the item 2 is the issue 64595. The reporter has not provided any additional information, thus closing as W4me.
