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.
I am also using Ubuntu but I stop fetching Eclipse from Ubuntu repos as
there was issues with file rights creating problem when fetching new
eclipse modules via eclipse download manager. I don't know the current
situation but I know Eclipse has set up a project, inviting linux dists,
to try to overcome this type of problems. Maybe your problems are
related to process and file ownership rights ? I suggest you download
and install eclipse into /usr/local and make sure the eclipse user have
all the rights he needs also on the geronimo files and processes.
hope this helps
thanks

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,
