I can\'t start Glassfish 3.1 on Eclipse Indigo with \"Oracle Glassfish Server Tools\" plugin on Windows 7. After installing the plugin, I\'ve chosen \"New\" -> \"Server\" in
I want to improve the answer from Andreas.
Yes, This is important to check your port:
netstat -a -n -o | find "8080"
If you are using Windows 7 make sure your proxy host is not active. Please check your host list file and open using notepad then restart your PC after comment all unnecessary host. Here is the tutorial.
\%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\host
In my case jmx failed to start because current host is using activate.adobe.com not your computer-name nor localhost.
service:jmx:rmi://activate.adobe.com:8686/jndi/rmi://activate.adobe.com:8686/jmxrmiThe host should be "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" or your computer-name
service:jmx:rmi://My-PC-Name:8686/jndi/rmi://My-PC-Name:8686/jmxrmi
Last thing is to check your processes list from Task Manager, end the anti virus proxy service process, like mine is using Trend Micro Internet Security then end process tmproxy.exe *32.
Go back to your eclipse double click your GlassFish server in server list tab, please uncheck "Use Anonymous Connection for Admin Console" then make sure to fill "Admin Name" and "Admin Password" for example user admin and password adminadmin as GlassFish default admin login. Now you can run the GlassFish server from your eclipse. It's worked.
