I have set up preferences to play an audio file when the server starts up. The "Play" button greys out however so I cannot actually test the .au or .wav files that I have associated with server events. I have played the sound files outside of Eclipse. I have ensured sound is enabled in Eclipse and the volume is at max. Still, when the server starts, no audio. I'm running Eclipse on a Windows XP machine.
TIA for your response.

There's not nearly enough information here to answer this question.
Moreover, it's almost certainly not a question for this Eclipse forum.
I'm guessing you'll not get it answered here for both reasons.

Eclipse web application answers are to be had in the Eclipse web tools
platform forum in general. I work that forum too, but there's not
anything like enough information for me to begin to answer you. (But
then, I'm not the brightest guy by any means.) If you suspect it's an
Eclipse question, you should try to tie it closer to Eclipse, describe
what you did, what you expected, and what didn't happen, etc.

I think he's talking about the section of the Preferences (Server >
Audio) where you can configure Eclipse to play a sound for various JEE
server lifecycle events. I just went there myself and also found that
the Play button does not ever seem to enable.
Peter, did you ask about this on the Web Tools (WTP) forum group as Russ
recommended?

(First of all, I know it is horribly bad form to resurrect old posts, let alone something this old, but this might help future Google searchers like myself).
I found how to get the server audio working thanks to a very helpful comment from this StackOverflow link: (I can't post a working link, but you can work it out from this)
//stackoverflow.com/questions/7436739/getting-audio-feedback-from-eclipse
Firstly, make sure your audio files are set up in Preferences --> Server --> Audio, make sure they are all ticked and that the volume is set above 0. Don't worry that the Play button doesn't work, I don't think it ever does.
Close the preferences window, now here's the bit that you need to know:
You need to right click on your server in the "Servers" view (not the "Package Explorer" view), and click on Properties. In here you should see a property called Location, which is probably set to [workspace metadata]. There should be a button next to it called "Switch Location", press that.
This changed the Location property to a more exact path to my server, although it may say something else for a different machine. No matter what it says, this should also fix the audio problem. This still doesn't fix the "Play" button greying out in the regular Eclipse properties section, but the sounds should now work when you start the server.
(Sorry again for reviving an old thread, but this was bugging me for ages and I thought I might be able to help someone else)
