I've recently downloaded STS and I tried firing up the TC Server, but it gives this error:

Server Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition v3.1 failed to start.

Error: Could not find or load main class Files.Spring.sts-bundle.pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.1.0.RELEASE.base-instance.conf.logging.properties Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

I went to the folder and it seems that the properties file is there.

Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my settings?

  • Which version of STS are you running? – Jason K. Jun 23 '15 at 19:01
  • I have Spring Tool Suite Version: 3.6.4.RELEASE Build Id: 201503100339 Platform: Eclipse Luna SR1 (4.4.2) – Daniel Graham Jul 04 '15 at 18:06
  • I downloaded the STS 3.6.4 version (for mac) and tc Server started without issue. `Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0 Jul 07, 2015 4:09:09 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load INFO: Initialization processed in 5544 ms Jul 07, 2015 4:09:10 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 1564 ms` – Jason K.

  • Maybe try to download and reinstall again. Also, would be good to tag "spring-tool-suite" for this issue, if it persists. – Jason K. Jul 07 '15 at 20:14

I guess you might have already solved this. But just answering.

You need to make sure that there are no whitespaces in the path of your STS location.

Example : F:\softwares\STS - is the example of location to which you can extract your zip file of STS or install you exe file of STS.

Wrong : F:\softwares\IDE Softwares\STS - Is illegal. Pivotal is expecting no whitespaces in the location from which it gets the server source i.e., you sts installation location

STS location could be F:\softwares\STS\spring-tool-suite-3.7.0\sts-bundle, so that your server location would be F:\softwares\STS\spring-tool-suite-3.7.0\sts-bundle\pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.1.1.RELEASE.

Final solution is, there should not be any whitespaces in the path from which STS pics up the server.

I had the same problem. Apparently there is a bug with too long path to that file (logging.properties) and I solved it by shortening the path to the ... /conf/logging.properties file I simply moved that file to c:/dev and changed the path in launch configuration (double click server name in the "servers" tab and click on "open launch configuration" -> click "Arguments" -> edit path in the "VM arguments" section) OR you can move the whole STS folder into folder that has shorter name.
