RAD 8 does not recognize that WAS has started

Question

I have recently experienced a new problem using RAD 8.0.2. When I launch a WAS server from within RAD, with or without any apps published to it, WAS will start and will show output in the console. I can even access the server from my web browser. However, RAD never recognizes that WAS has started successfully and after the timeout limit is reached, RAD claims that the server failed to start. I have tried this with WAS 6.1 and 7.0 test environments and WebSphere Portal 6.1 external environment and I always get the same result. Naturally, this makes development extremely difficult and I am anxious to get this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated! - John
