I've downloaded https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/pot/LibertyPoT_17.0.0.1_WIN.zip but I'm stuck at step 1 of section "0.5 Install WebSphere Developer Tools (WDT)" in setup.pdf where I see

this error message

Am I doing something wrong?

Double-check paragraph at 0.3 Installing Liberty and the Java Runtime and its note:

To install for windows or linux,

a. Liberty is already installed for you {LAB_HOME)/wlp

b. The IBM JRE is already installed for you {LAB_HOME)/wlp/java [...]

c. The IBM_JRE is set to default Java in the {LAB_HOME)/wlp/etc/server.env

If you want to override this for a specific server create a server.env file in the usr/servers/ directory.

*Note: If JAVA_HOME is already set in your shell, then you will need to “unset JAVA_HOME”. To check, execute “env| grep –i java_home”. If it returns with a value, then execute “unset JAVA_HOME”

Then remind that Eclipse looks for jre/jdk based on vm parameter in eclipse.ini. In the zip file downloaded it should be

-vm ..\wlp\java\bin\javaw.exe

It should be correct, anyway you could try setting an absolute path so you are sure it doesn't care about working directory.

  • ¡Hola @gile! Does Windows understand ".."? Anyhow, prior to posting this question I've fiddled with multiple variants of the -vm switch to no avail. -vm C:\wlp_pot\WLP_17.0.0.1\wlp\java\bin\javaw.exe and -vm "C:\wlp_pot\WLP_17.0.0.1\wlp\java\bin\javaw.exe" both did not work and give some variant of the initial error. It seems like some variant of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=102239 perhaps? – alex_mayorga Apr 25 '17 at 19:44
  • Yes, Windows understands .. Are you sure the PATH environment variable does not get wrong java path? Did you check both {LAB_HOME)/wlp/etc/server.env and {LAB_HOME)/usr/servers/server.env ? – gile Apr 25 '17 at 20:20
