Error shutting down JBoss from Eclipse

Question

I get an exception when I shutdown JBoss server from within Eclipse. I run JBoss IDE 1.5.105 and Eclipse 3.3.2 How do I solve this problem?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/system/server/ServerImplMBean at org.jboss.Shutdown.main(Shutdown.java:118) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.system.server.ServerImplMBean at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:303) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:316) ... 1 more

Answer 1

As mentioned in this thread, check how the shutdown is called and if client/jbossall-client.jar is part of the $JBOSSCP (jboss classpath) for the shutdown command.

#define the classpath for the shutdown class
#JBOSSCP=${JBOSSCP:-"$JBOSS_HOME/bin/shutdown.jar:$JBOSS_HOME/client/jnet.jar"}
JBOSSCP=${JBOSSCP:-"$BINARY_HOME/client/jbossall-client.jar:$JBOSS_HOME/bin/shutdown.jar"}

Just downloaded and reinstalled the jboss server. Never got that error again.
