Hi, I am relatively new to Apache Geronimo. I am implementing a software engineering lab project at the university and chose Geronimo as an application server. I have downloaded and installed the Geronimo Plugin for Eclipse 1.2.0 through update manager. I am running Geronimo 1.1.1 on a i386-debian-4.0r0 and Eclipse SDK 3.2.2 with WST 1.5.4 (from update manager) on an amd64 with Ubuntu 7.04 (eclipse installed from repositories) and Sun Java 5 JVM (also from repositories).
There are two issues I've been facing, which are: 1. The local server won't start from inside the IDE. It actually starts but remains in "Starting..." state after a successful startup. After several minutes, Eclipse returns a fail message. I have seen some issues alike reported on this list, but the possible solution (install 1.2.1 plugin) didn't work. I downloaded the daily 1.2.1 driver from devtools site but unzipping it to the plugins/features directories was effectless (there was no "Geronimo" runtime available). The worst thing is that this bug seemed to have been resolved on 1.2.0 as I could read from its release notes. Another fact is that starting a local server worked at a faculty machine running Windows 2k. 2. The server state won't reflect the real server state when one geronimo instance is started from outside the IDE (as I could read on IBM developerWorks papers, it should). I have tried with remote and local instances of geronimo. Therefore I couldn't deploy applications through eclipse, as the servers were in "Stopped" state and Eclipse tried to start them, thereafter failing as they were already started from outside. This wouldn't work in windows 2k as well. I would appreciate if someone could help me, as this environment setup issues are delaying our project. My best regards, Rodrigo R.
