How is Oracle Pack for Eclipse checking the domain?

Question

I am using Eclipse Kepler with Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 12.1.2.3 and a Weblogic 12.1.1 server. When setting up the server I get

An older version domain is detected.
Click here to upgrade it with Upgrade Wizard.

I am quite sure that this message is misleading. I have a Weblogic 12 domain but I edited the scripts a bit to use environment variables for domain home and wlserver home instead of having the paths hard coded in the files. So I am able to create a copy of the domain and just change some environment variables to use it.

I am able to start the domain from command line using the startWeblogic.sh file, so it is working in general. Only Eclipse does not accept it.

Does anybody know what Eclipse is checking for when setting up the server domain?

Answer 1

The WL_HOME setting in setDomainEnv has to be a full qualified path to an existing wlserver folder. It must not be constructed out of environment variables.

Answer 2

it was showing error when I was using directory domain as ...../base-domain/config NO error when I used .../base-domain in directory domain. Web logic is searching for config folder
