title: IDEA 14.x Mac OSX. JBoss AS 7 "Server is not connected. Deploy is not available"
body: <p>I have looked at all the other answers posted.  Have spent several fruitless hours trying to determine why my JBoss AS 7 deploy from IDEA 14.x has stopped working.  It has been working fine for the last 9 months, and now fails.</p>
  
  <p>On executing the deploy Jboss Run Configuration, the ear file I'm using fails to deploy. The Jboss instance (standalone) <strong>is</strong> started successfully, if I click the artefact &amp; click deploy - it displays</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Server is not connected. Deploy is not available"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked all the usual possibilities.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I made sure JDK/Java versions tally between IDE &amp; JBoss runtime.  </li>
  <li>I can deploy the same artefact to Glassfish in the IDE.  </li>
  <li>I can deploy the same artefact to JBoss from the admin console. </li>
  <li>I checked the JBoss ports 8080, 9990 etc. - they're all fine.</li>
  <li>I checked that any recent Mac OS security updates mentioned Java - no nothing.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Still stumped...</p>
