title: JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line
body: <p>I am trying to run JBoss from the command prompt with the standalone.bat file.  It starts the startup process but then just sits there.  I couldn't really find any answers with Goolgle or on here.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the output from my command line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin&gt;standalone
  Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

  <p>And it just sits right here.  Any ideas of why it doesn't finish starting up?</p>
  
  <p>This is added info...
  I took Omoro's suggestion and went back to Java 7.  That got JBoss to not "hang" anymore at the command line.  Now when I run standalone.bat it says</p>
  
  <p>Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"</p>
  
  <p>and then just goes back to the command prompt without starting JBoss.  I will open a new thread since the old problem has been cured and now a new problem has arisen.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for everyone's help especially Omoro.</p>
