A Geronimo Server Runtime in GEP associates a Geronimo 2.2 Server installation with a JRE to be used to run that server. A Geronimo Server in GEP associates a Geronimo Server Runtime with a profile consisting of Security settings, Publish Settings, Port Configuration, JVM settings to be used with that Geronimo Server Runtime.

This page discusses how to define Geronimo servers and server runtimes in Eclipse.

Before defining a Geronimo server runtime, you have to install a Geronimo Eclipse Plugin.

...

1. Launch the Define a New Server dialog using one of the following:
   • From the Servers view in the Java EE Perspective: Right-click, and New -> Server.
   • From any Perspective: Select File -> New -> Other -> Server.
     
     
     
     
2. Select Apache Geronimo v2.2 Server, specify the server name (by default Apache Geronimo v2.2 Server at localhost), and select an Apache Geronimo v2.2 from the Server runtime environment dropdown and click Next.
   
   
   Note
   

   Additional Server Runtimes can be installed by clicking on Configure runtime environments... button and return to this step once done to select the newly added server runtime. Or you can add another Geronimo 2.2 runtime environment by clicking "Add...".

3. Modify Hostname, Administrator Id, Administrator password, Web Connector port and RMI Naming port if necessary and click Finish. Normally you will not have to change the default values for these fields for a newly installed Geronimo 2.2 server.
   
   
   
   

This completes defining a new Geronimo 2.2 server. The newly added server will appear in the Servers view. The server can be started by selecting the server and clicking on the Start server button.

...

A Geronimo Server can also be defined while creating a Geronimo Server Runtime by checking the option Create a new local server. This will present an additional dialog to configure the hostname, ports, etc.

...

Administering the server

To view the server status in the Java EE perspective, open the Servers view. GEP monitors the server's status and sets the stopped, starting, and started indicators appropriately. This information is accurate even if you do not start or stop the server using Eclipse.
