Cannot find weblogic_home when setting up server in eclipse
I am trying to get my java ee development environment setup but am running into issues when trying to add a new server in eclipse.
I have the oracle java ee version of eclipse, I also downloaded weblogic 12.1.2 and got it setup and running without issues (I can access the console fine). I got the development version of weblogic and unzipped it to "C:\wls12120". When I try to add a weblogic server in eclipse I try setting it to "C:\wls12120" but it gives me the following message: The path "C:\wls12120" does not contain a valid WebLogic Server install.
I have also tried various other paths within the folder but without success, does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
First try, if you have proper installation and that your WS is instaled and configured properly. If not, check installation documentation. Very important is to have set the environmental variables JAVA_HOME and MV_HOME. For example in my case on Linux i have in .profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 export
MW_HOME=/opt/weblogic/wls12130
Than start intitial scripts.
. .$MW_HOME/configure.sh
. $MW_HOME/wlserver/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh
Than start:
$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain/startWebLogic.sh
The last lines looks like:

If WebLogic is started, than do ^C to stop it and begin to integrate to Eclipse. First you must have installed Oracle OEPE plug-in. Than right click in Servers tab and choose new->Server Oracle-> Proper version of WS (in my case 12.1.3). In server host name fill proper IP address (in my case I used 192.168.1.0.2. not localhost) and proper port (default is 7001, but if it has conflict, change it using WebLogic Console before integration to the Eclipse. ERROR: Oracle Weblogic Server port is already in use Mostly, even if it is there conflict, console works, if not, do it manually to edit config.xml in your domain/config directory. Proper way to the WS is $MW_HOME/wlserver (i.e. /opt/weblogic/wls12130/wlserver).
