Guess what? I finally got Sun AppServer(SJSAS PE 8.1_02) and Glassfish servers runing properly within my environment. Basically, repeat after me:
Sun AS and Galssfish Installers do not effectively warn or detect about port conflicts or choose different ports when ports are blocked.
This means at least on windows that you should do a full netstat dump to file and verify that ports 4848, 8080, and etc are not blocked. Do not, I repeat, do not trust SUN's isntallers or the server log to tell you this is an issue because in most cases it might not in fact tell you about this issue.
Okay, what do I have left on the plugin to complete. Verify that I can start, stop, and deploy on Sun SJSAS using Eclispe with the plugin and do the same with Glassfish as I am adding a severdef for glassfish to the plugin. Of course, also finish the article on writing serverdef plugins for Eclipse WTP.
The whole thinking here is that someone begins in J2ee they usually download the full J2EE sdk and default install the J2EE server and samples into one server install and we shoudl be able to allow the Eclipse IDE user to use this server. I do believe that all FOSS J2EE servers shoudld be supported with serverdef plugins for Eclipse WTP.
