WebSphere migration appears in eclipse always

I use WebSphere Application Server 8.5 with Eclipse Mars 4.5.2. My problem is when I open Eclipse a migration for my server runtime appears always.

undefined server runtime

Both entries are the same?

I also have the whole project in git so I could check what has changed after migration. The interesting thing is that only the date, which is the first line from the com.ibm.ws.ast.st.migration.prefs file, has changed.

Has someone a hint how I could stop this "unnecessary" cycling migration.

Solution

  • For solving the problem we changed two settings:

    1) in the .classpath we replaced the following classpathentry:

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/WebSphere Application Server v8.5 JRE">
    <attributes>
       <attribute name="owner.project.facets" value="java"/>
    </attributes>
</classpathentry>

    with:

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>

    2) in the org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml file we removed the following line:

    <runtime name="WebSphere Application Server v8.5"/>
