Eclipse 3.5: Tomcat server was unable to start.. [message #526242]

When I start Tomcat server from Eclipse, it shows no errors, but when the start timeout goes off it says "Server Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within %start_timeout% seconds". Though "localhost:8080" in my browser shows Tomcat error page, so it is actually running. The same goes on with J2EE Preview server.
PS I am running Debian Squeeze/sid.

What version of Eclipse and WTP are you using and what is the timeout
set to?

I'm glad you are willing to help, Eclipse 3.5.2, WTP 3.1.1, timeout was set to default value for tomcat - 45 sec.
I switched from openjdk-6 to sun-java6-jdk and my problem was fixed. Also there was a trouble for tomcat to bind the port, but "sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0" solved the issue.

I'm glad you found a workaround. It may be that that openjdk-6 runtime
is implemented in a way that doesn't work well with how the WTP Tomcat
support pings the server. I will give openjdk-6 a try sometime, just to
see the nature of the issue. I don't know if it will be practical to do
something about it.

Cheers,
Larry
