Creation of a second server runtime fails

Fixed, now using classpath entry that will not get confused by files also in workspace when resolving classpath entries.

Found the issue, and I should be able to get a fix for this in the next version of the IDE.

Added screenshot of the dialog showing the error and the server's full path.

Hi Matthias,

When you add the new server and you have clicked "Add" to add a new runtime location and you browse to the location of the runtime within your workspace and then you get the error you have mentioned, can you post a screenshot of the dialog? I want to see the exact path or location that is entered into the Liferay Tomcat Directory field.

Somehow it seems that the IRuntime class created by eclipse has the runtime location set to /Servers/core-snap.... instead of /path/to/Workspace/Servers/core-snap... as it should be. I am wondering how this has happened. When you click the "browse button" are you navigating to the abolute location of your core-snap... directory or the workspace relative path?

I still get the same error. This is what I did:

(I already had two Liferay server instances in my Servers-List, both somewhere outside of the Eclipse Workspace but inside my home folder. Both work.)

• Update to the latest nightly of the plugin (1.2.0.v201101270221), restart Eclipse

• Unpack a new Liferay-Tomcat-6.0.5 instance to Workspace/Servers

• In Eclipse, Rightclick on the Servers-List, New -> Server

• Choose "Liferay v6.0 CE Server (Tomcat 6)" as server type

• "Add..."

• Browse to the new instance within the Workspace/Servers directory (I had two server folders in there: "core-base-0.0.5-SNAPSHOT" and "core-base-0.0.5-SNAPSHOT-2", both identical to the liferay-tomcat-6.0.5 package)

• Message "Portal server not supported. Expecting Liferay Portal Community Edition" appears and the "Finish" button is greyed out

• Exception in Workspace/.metadata/.log appears:
