[Geoserver-users] [Geoserver-devel] help: Context initialization failed

Ok, upgrading the compiler compliance level wont be enough.
Unfortunately you have to physically upgrade your jdk to use a java 1.5 jdk.

Also... I am still not sure exactly how you are trying to run GeoServer.

Is the main class you are running called:

"org.vfny.geoserver.jetty.Start"

Or is it called:

"org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher"

According to your instructions, I update Java Compiler compliance Level
from 1.4 to 5.0 in eclipse, then build clean , and finially build
install but it didn't work.

I work with a source-released geoserver 1.5.3

So you tried both options and neither worked? When you switched your
java version how did you do it? Did you do it from the eclipse
preferences. You may have to restart eclipse for it to be picked up by
each individual project.

When running form the Start test do you get the exact same exception? Or
is it a different one?

Can you also tell me if you are working from subversion or from a source
release? Also which branch are working on, 1.5.x or trunk? If you are
working from version control can you tell me how recent your checkout is.

I have done according to your instructions, but the problem is still there.
What can I do furthermore?

Hopes for more instructions!
Thanks.

Hi,

I have run across this same problem and it occurs when running GeoServer
with Jetty with java 1.4. So you have two options:

1. Instead of running GeoServer from eclipse with Maven, use the Start
class located in the web module. This is explained here:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/3+Eclipse+Quickstart

Under the section "Debugging starting Jetty as a java application".

2. Upgrade to java 5 or 6.

let us know if that helps.
