I am trying to get glassfish working in eclipse, and running into the JRE

  • 0

I am trying to get glassfish working in eclipse, and running into the JRE vs JDK error:

GlassFish v3 requires a JDK 1.6 and not a JRE. Please add/select the
correct JDK in the Server properties ‘Runtime Environment’ section.

I googled around and it seems a bunch of people had this issue. Sure enough in preferences->Server-> Runtime Environment when I clicked edit on the glassfish server runtime environment the JRE was “default JRE”. I clicked the dropdown menu and switched it to my JDK: java-6-openjdk and figured I had the problem solved. Unfortunately, I am still getting the exact same error. This leaves me at a loss on how to google the issue since everyone else seems to have resolved it by just switching the JRE to a JDK. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Try setting Eclipse running in JDK as well — maybe Glassfish picks its JDK. To do this, edit eclipse.ini, and add the line

     -vm 
 path-to-javaw.exe-in-a-JDK

    With this configuration, I never had this issue.
