I am trying to create a new Glassfish server instance in my Eclipse Indigo IDE. I have downloaded the additional server adapters. I select

New -> Server -> GlassFish -> GlassFish 3.x

and click on Next. But nothing happends.

Is this a bug and if so, what's the workaround?

This should work. Maybe you did something wrong when you installed the additional server adapters or you have chosen the wrong one? Because my working setup doesn't let me choose GlassFish 3.x but a specific version like GlassFish 3.1 or GlassFish 3.1.1.

You have to install the Glassfish Server Tools for Indigo from the Eclipse Marketplace (Help -> Eclipse Marketplace).

After restarting Eclipse you can do it like you described:

New -> Server -> GlassFish -> your specific Glassfish version

After clicking next you can choose the server directory and the JDK (you need a JDK to run Glassfish).

If this doesn't help you may try the same with a clean installation of Eclipse.

Anyway Eclipse Indigo is pretty old, you should upgrade to a recent version.

  • Hey man. Appreciate your answer. I might have been a bit misleading, with 3.x i ment that I had a group of version to chose from. For example, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. I will try your recommendation to install it from the marketplace in a while. Thanks again. – Marcus Mar 19 '14 at 20:35
  • As I suspected it just gives me this feedback: "Nothing to update" I installed the server tools via the "install new software" wizard, so I guess it's just saying that it's the same version that I already have. – Marcus Mar 19 '14 at 20:38
  • Maybe you can try again with a clean Eclipse installation. – unwichtich Mar 19 '14 at 20:50
  • I probably wont since I have so much configuration and work on my current installation... Also I can configure and deploy to the server in my browser via the admin console. Appreciate your efforts but as I said reinstalling is kind of a last resort :p – Marcus Mar 19 '14 at 21:04
  • Then uninstalling the server adapters and reinstalling it via the Marketplace may be an option. – unwichtich Mar 19 '14 at 21:08
  • Go to `Install new software` and click on `What is already installed`. – unwichtich Mar 19 '14 at 21:46
  • Tried it. Same bug. This is some really wierd shit going on right here. – Marcus Mar 19 '14 at 21:53

I also came across this problem, while clicking Next button nothing happens.

I noticed on the Error log panel, that a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError has been thrown: 

...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.sapphire.ui.SapphirePropertyEditorCondition cannot be found by com.liferay.ide.eclipse.portlet.ui_1.6.2.v201303111029

    at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.ModuleClassLoader.loadClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:160)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
    ... 108 more

,that is there has to be something wrong with my earlier installed Liferay plugin.

I thought Liferay plugin update can solve this issue, however it was up-to-date. Since I don't need that plugin currently, uninstalled it from eclipse.

After eclipse restart it was as easy to configure a new glassfish server as it is seen in many blogs, articles and youtube video-s.

Hope to help You!
