Staring JBoss server from within Eclipse Ganymede gives me the following problem: "Server JBoss v4.0 at localhost was unable to start within 120 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor."
The console shows JBoss has started in so and so minutes but soon after, there is a pop up if the above message. I can also start the JBoss externally.
In my Eclipse with Jboss Tools, that ocurred too, I change the "Host name", on General information of JbossServer, from my machine name to 127.0.0.1.
Thanks, this works fine!
I had the same issue and corrected it by modifying a "server.xml" file in the jboss folders.
I modified '<Connector port="8080"' by '<Connector port="server port defined in Eclipse"'
I could fix it by using Aboucabar Toure's advice: under Eclipse Indigo, I opened JBoss server properties and edited the Server Ports group to match my JBoss ports configuration (unchecking Detect from Local Runtime boxes).
Then everything worked just fine!
