This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
No matter how you start a registered jboss server, the status is never changed to started. If you go to runtime and start the server from there, netbeans displays output of a starting server. When the output indicates the server is started, netbeans does not recognize that. When you go to an ear project and select deploy from the context menu, netbeans tries to start jboss again. This does not succeed because the port is allready in use.
What about your configuration? Exact NB version, JBoss version and configuration, JDK version etc. How do you start the server? Does refresh on the server node help or not? Is it reproducible? If it is, please provide the steps to reproduce. Are there any exception in the messages log or server log or output window?
Created attachment 28562 [details] netbeans configuration file
I use Netbeans 5.0 rc2. I attached my configuration file, and i only altered memory settings for the JVM, so it is probably not helpfull. The jboss version i use is 4.0.3SP1 and i use JDK 1.5.0_05. It does not matter if i start the server by deploying an ear (right mousebutton on ear project and choose 'Netbeans Deploy') or when i start the server by going to the runtime window, open the server branch, right click on the jboss server and select start. In both cases the server appears to start normally. It generates output similar to when i start it from the command line. When the output say that the server is started, netbeans thinks it's not. When starting none of the buttons (Start, stop, restart, etc.) are enabled. When the output indicates jboss is started, the start, start in debug mode and refresh buttons are enabled. Clicking on refresh doesn't change anything. I register the server by choosing server manager from the tools menu. I click the add server button and choose to add a jboss server. For the location i use /home/hillebrand/jboss-4.0.3SP1. I do not change anything to the instance properties. It is definately reproducible. In fact i can not use jboss from netbeans at all. There are some exceptions in the message logs regarding jboss. The message that port 8080 is allready in use may be ignored. It occurs when jboss it started when a jboss instance is allready running (e.g. when trying to deploy an ear).

Could you please attach the server log (the part from one start only)? You can copy it from the Output window.

It works for me. Cannot reproduce.
