Refer to the online help provided with WebSphere Application Server v6.0 for full details on configuring and deploying the default messaging provider when testing Java Messaging Service (JMS) applications against a v6.0 server, and for details on configuring and deploying a Service Integration Bus when testing Web services applications against a V6.0 server
The product supports a different plug-in classloading mechanism which uses JXE files instead of JAR files. The benefits of using JXE files are as follows:
- Improved startup time
- Reduced memory consumption
- Increased memory sharing between multiple product instances
The disadvantages of using JXE files are as follows:
- Line numbers might not appear in plug-in stack traces
- A limited number of third-party plug-ins that function properly in Eclipse v3.0.x might not load in the product
Note: This has been fixed in V6.0.0.1.To temporarily disable JXE support to diagnose either issue, start the product with the following additional startup arguments:
-vmargs -Dosgi.adaptor=org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseAdaptorWindows: Add the above arguments to the Target field of the product shortcut.
If you find a third-party plug-in that functions properly in Eclipse v3.0.x and does not load in the product with JXE enabled, but loads with JXE disabled, contact IBM support and report this problem. Remember to revert to the original startup arguments (i.e. enable JXE) after you report the problem.
On Windows Server 2003, if Terminal Server is installed and configured, WebSphere Application Server v6 Test Environment may not be removed by product uninstall. To remove it, execute the following command manually:
<install_dir>\runtimes\base_v6\_uninst\uninstall.exe -silent
On Windows operating systems you can set various accessibility options. However, if you specify, in the Display tab of the Accessibility Options window, an appearance scheme of High Contrast Black (large), some dialogs and windows in the product might not display properly.
You can apply skin manifests to the product, as described in the Eclipse SWT FAQ at http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-swt-home/faq.html#xpthemes. However, the product may not display properly. To avoid this issue, do not apply skin manifests to the product.
When you start the product using non-administrator user and receive an error dialog during product start up, it may be because you have write permission to
<install_dir>\eclipse\configuration
but do not have write permission to all the files inside that directory.The workaround is to change the permission of
<install_dir>\eclipse\configuration
so that all non-administrators do not have write access to that directory.
