We have a java application on netbeans that's using Glassfish server 4.1. We recently conducted a scan we got recommendation that we should update Glassfish server to the latest version because v4.1 has vulnerability issues. I download Glassfish server 5.0 which in zip, I unzipped and navigate inside the folders. I'am able to reach the admin console localhost:4848 but when I tried adding Glassfish server from tools in netbeans it tells me that not a valid Glassfish server installation. Checked everywhere online couldn't find a solution to this, I don't know how to go about this, could anybody help please???
Rather than research and guess what your specific problem might be, it is far easier just to start over since the entire process of downloading and configuring Glassfish 5 in NetBeans 8.2 only takes a couple of minutes.
Step 1:
Tools > Add Server
Select GlassFish Server, enter a suitable name in the Name field and click Next >
Step 2
On the Add Server Instance screen, click the Browse... button.
Navigate to your existing Glassfish 5 installation and select the top level directory, and click Choose.
Step 3
Having done that you should see a message stating "Detected a Glassfish Server 5.0 install..." as shown in the screen shot below.
If you don't see that message (and apparently you are getting "Not a valid GlassFish Server installation.") then simply download Glassfish 5 again, unzip it to a new directory, and use that installation instead.
Click the check box for "I have read and accept..." and click Next >.
Step 4
Accept the default values for the Domain Location settings and click Finish.
Step 5
Now open Tools > Servers and select the server you just added. The screen should look similar to this:
I just tried this and it worked fine using NetBeans 8.2, Oracle Glassfish 5 and JDK 8.
I am trying to test my web application in GlassFish 4 from eclipse. When I am starting GlassFish 4 with a file (startserv.bat), it works fine, but when I am trying to run it from Eclipse, it starts loading, but then the startup process gets stuck at 69%, on a message Launching Delegate...
After several minutes in that condition, it gives me an error message:
After a few re-tries, I got this message:
Even though nothing is running on the port 8080 (GlassFish's port) and 4848 (GlassFIsh's admin port)
It worked fine for me before, but now for some reason, it just doesn't, I haven't done anything to it's settings or anything. How can I resolve this problem?
Here is my startup console log: http://pastebin.com/XL0Lh5zw (using pastebin to avoid making the post to big)
I had the same problem, with the same messages.
After a long search, I gave up and I removed the server.
And I removed the Server Runtime Environment
The Glassfish files were not removed only the eclipse configurations, and then I re-created the Server Runtime and the Server using the existent glassfish server and the problem was fixed :D.
I got the same issue. I'm using Eclipse Luna.
I downgraded my GlassFish Tools to 7.2 and I got the server started back again.

I didn't see any errors in the log, just some warnings about Hibernate stuff, which shouldn't crash the launch. It could be that it is taking too long to initialize with all of the eclipse overhead, but most likely it could be a locking issue, which could cause the timeout, since eclipse would be left infinitely waiting for a resource it could never obtain. Are you sure the server is only being accessed by eclipse, and is not already running or owned by another process?
I was also getting this issue all the week. But in our team we finally fixed it. It seems that Glassfish needs JDK 8 (not JRE 8 default given entry in Eclipse Luna) so you have to firstly install JDK 8 from Oracle web site and after configure Eclipse to point on it in Windows -> Preference -> Java -> Installed JREs Click on "Add" choose "Standard VM" click on "Next" and use "Directory" button to point on your -freshly installed- JDK8 directory if you didn't change any thing during the installation , on windows it would be "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20".
Just because Glassfish and Glassfish Tools for Luna need JDK8 to perfectly work.
I had the very same issue with GF 3.1.
When looking into the problem I noticed that in the Eclipse console Glassfish appeared to be still running. I deleted the application using the web console and then I quit Eclipse. I then checked the active Java process (i.e. ps -e | grep java) and noticed an zombie Glassfish process.
Sometimes it happens that Eclipse is not able to startup / shutdown Glassfish correctly, "loosing" a process doing so. Usually killing the zombie process fixes Glassfish and related integration with Eclipse.
Another thing to try in this case is to remove the applications from the Server and remove the server from Servers panel in Eclipse, then adding the server and applications again.
I'm using Eclipse Glassfish 3.1.1, Luna 4.4.1, Java 1.7.0_71, OS X Yosemite.
Changing debug port (properties->glassfish->debug port) to current+1 (eg. from 8008 to 8009) every time it happens makes it work for me.
I'm using eclipse neon 4.6.0 + glassfish 4.1
If any one is still stuck go to your glassfish folder domain > domain1 > config
edit domain.xml change network listener port no. to any other port number.
Restart eclipse and glassfish.
assuming you have glassfish 4.1.1 it worked for me.
I fixed the problem by using Eclipse Neon (4.6) and GlassFish 4.1.1.
Had the same problem, no idea why this happens. Anyway, I deleted Glassfish from Eclipse and had a new GF set up. Worked for me just fine!
Using Eclipse Mars and Glassfish 3.2. I used Eclipse > Help > Check for Updates. Two updates were found and one was Glassfish tools. Allowed the update to do its thing and it seems to have resolved the problem.
Go to below path:
C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config
Also the path where your server location configured into the eclipse and open domain.xml file.
Find out the 8080 port number and change different port number like 8081...
Save and close the file.
In eclipse:
Remove the added server and add fresh Glashfish server.
Start the server. This will solve the problem.
Same problem here, stuck at 68%.
I find out that it was docker which occupied 8080:80.
If any one who is also using docker:
I do "docker ps"to see which one is using 8080
then i do "docker stop [container id]"and "docker rm [container id]"
then the glassfish sever in eclipse finally launched successfully.
I'm currently using Eclipse Mars on OS X to build a PHP based application which requires a web server for a form submission. However, upon attempting to add Tomcat 7.0 as a server, the server list is empty (shown below).
I've been following several tutorials for setting up and configuring a Tomcat server and each one says to place the extracted Tomcat folder in the Eclipse workspace directory so they'll be detected when adding them in Eclipse. The Apache Tomcat folder is in the workspace directory but it still isn't being detected. I've tried reinstalling Eclipse and deleting any duplicate files but I keep getting the same result. How can I properly set up and configure an Apache Tomcat server in Eclipse Mars?
You can tell it about the Tomcat installation using the Server Runtime Environments preference page.
If Tomcat isn't already a known server type, you might need to install a few more. The WTP FAQ has instructions.
All of those tutorials are wrong. You do want to download a copy of Tomcat from Apache so it has the expected layout when Eclipse looks for the jars needed to launch it, but there's no reason to actually put it in the workspace.
I am also using Eclipse neon and I faced the same problem and the answer was available in a question Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments in the same site already posted
Of the Available Answers the below steps Worked for me:
1.Help-->Eclipse Marketplace
2.Type Tomcat in search box and choose the Option JST Server Adapters(Apache Tomcat,...) and click on Install
3.Then complete the Simple installation steps and after installation Eclipse prompts for a restart accept and then you can see the Target Run time updated with Tomcat server
Note:I am using Windows
I am using Eclipse Juno and installed GlassFish Server 3.1.2 on Windows 7 under C:\glassfish3. Glassfish is running fine and I am able to visit the admin panel under localhost:4848/common/index.jsf. Morevoer I am able to deploy a war file and can start the application. My external GlassFish-server seems ok!
If I want to add a new Server to my Eclipse Juno environment I come to a screen where I can pick a GlassFish variant and afterwards I need to set a JRE and an Application Server Directory. I can't set a path for the Application Server Directory that my eclipse wizard lets me finish the configuration. Thanks in advance for further information!
UPDATE: I got this error message in the wizard after setting the application server directory path to C:\glassfish3\glassfish like it is proposed here: https://glassfishplugins.java.net/eclipse36/#1
There is no valid GlassFish installation in the specified directory. Click the Install Server button to download and install to that directory.
I am using Eclipse 3.7.2 with JBoss Tools 3.3 under Ubuntu 12 and have configured a locally installed copy of JBoss AS 7.1.1 in Eclipse under "Preferences::Server::Runtime" Environments.
However, when trying to run a Java EE application by double-clicking on the project or an .xhtml page I only see "Run As / Run" on Server as an option and I get an HTTP 404 from Apache Tomcat/7.0.26 at localhost:8080. That is, it seems like Eclipse is trying to deploy to a Tomcat server as opposed to the JBoss AS I have configured in "Preferences::Server::Runtime" and I don't get an option like "Run on JBoss" or anything. When I export my application as a war and manually deploy to JBoss AS the app runs fine.
The idea is to add your application to a specific server that you have configured. Additionally; just adding the server runtime isn't enough.
You need to open the Servers view, and from there right click on the background and select New, and then Server. If you choose JBoss Community -> JBoss AS 7.1 here, you can select your previously created Server runtime in the Server runtime environment, or optionally create a new one.
Then comes the mental twist that you need to make. In WTP you don't use the Run As command, but instead right click the server in the Servers view (default name should be JBoss 7.1 Runtime Server, and select Add and Remove. Select one or more applications from your workspace that you would like to run on your server. Click finish when done.
Now right click again on your server, and choose either Start or Debug.
