Working with E2.1.2 with MYE 2.7rc2 I suddenly received this message when I was trying to start Tomcat from the toolbar button:
A configuration error occurred during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: Tomcat JDK name
I changed nothing before that, the Tomcat JDK name is set. I have reinstalled MYE, reinstalled Tomcat5, I downloaded MYE 2.6 and the problem persist.
What can I do to get it working again before I die at my soon to end deadline?
Thanks for your help.
Why there was a problem with the jdk config in first place… I don’t know!
But when I tried to reconfigure the jdk I read in the config dialog JRE type/JRE name/JRE home dir so I selected the jre dir of the sdk. After checking a couple of times I finally read the Notes 1. about NOT selecting a jre…
Yes, my fault. Maybe it will be better to change or add a field Like:
J2SDK directory: [Browse]Why? Because the browse button that the user now has to use must select the sdk dir BUT the label for that field states that is the JRE home directory.
Thanks.
avalenciano you are absolutely right, we are always looking into making things more clear or obvious for the user. Unfortunately in this case, the dialog you are using to manage the JREs is provided by Eclipse (which does not need a JDK) and not by MyEclipse.
What you can do however, is if you are under your Tomcat>JDK settings, there is an Add button that will direct you about adding a new JDK; this we do have control over and hopefully made it clear enough for users to figure out what it is that Application servers need to run.
Do you think it would have been helpful if in the dialog that popped up, it had told you more explicitly what it needed and given you a button to jump right to it?
The dialog under Tomcat>JDK settings, with the Add button was the one I used to the reach the one to add the JVM.
Maybe I was in a hurry and obviously didn’t read the “Notes section”, but looking at the dialog again that section happens to be out of the “visual focus” when the dialog appears ( maybe in bold? ), the user attention is in the Add button ( at least mine… )
Yes, I think that note could be better place, maybe next to the button and/or rename the Add button to something like Add SDK … in blinking red font ( just kidding…. )
Anyway, thanks for reading the post.
