I am running my local development in Eclipse Neon. I have this issue where the local server says "stopping, synchronized" and I made sure it is not running, killed all processes and still, the issue persists.
I previously had Google Plugin for Eclipse, now upgraded to the new Cloud Tools for Eclipse Plugin and since then this happened. I even upgraded my eclipse to latest Oxygen and still the state of my local server for any port is not starting up.
Any ideas will help me a lot, much appreciated. Thanks!
You may be hitting https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-eclipse/issues/2727 or https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-eclipse/issues/1964. They have been fixed since Cloud Tools for Eclipse 1.6.0, so please upgrade and try again.
If none of these seem to affect you, and if your problem persists and you can reproduce it, it is best to open a new GitHub issue using the "Submit Issue or Feedback" menu item from the main GCP toolbar icon you can find in Eclipse and provide more detailed information.
Lastly, if you want to kill the local dev appserver process, make sure you kill the process you find, for example, with ps aux | grep DevAppServerMain on the command line. Once the process is killed, the server status in Eclipse should change to "stopped, synchronized".
