As Radkovo said, "The Payara installation path should not contain spaces (e.g. Program Files\Payara)", so I moved the Payara to the Documents folder. Problem solved!

The Problem is with Java version. The grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.1.jar Jar is placed in bootclasspath, thats why it requires proper java version to start payara server. So remove unnecessary bootstrap jar from domain.xml.

In Windows:

1) Go To ---C:\Users\xxxx\payara5\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml

2) According to my java verson(java version "1.8.0_191") I deleted the following lines from domain.xml. So delete according to your java version.

<jvm-options>[1.8.0|1.8.0u120]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.6.jar</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>[1.8.0u121|1.8.0u160]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.7.jar</jvm-options>
        <jvm-options>[1.8.0u161|1.8.0u190]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.jar</jvm-options>

3) Remove this [1.8.0u191|1.8.0u500] part from jvm-options & Edit the line in your domain.xml(w.r.t java -version) as shown below

<jvm-options>-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.1.jar</jvm-options>

4) restart your server.

It seems that the Payara Tools for Eclipse suffer by several bugs that may cause this. In my case, the following workarounds helped:

  • The Payara installation path should not contain spaces (e.g. Program Files\Payara)
  • It seems that only Java 8 is supported at the time
  • Open the domain.xml configuration file for the domain you are trying to start (typically payara_install_path/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain1.xml) and search for "Xbootclasspath". You should find a couple of lines like <jvm-options>[1.8.0|1.8.0u120]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.6.jar</jvm-options> <jvm-options>[1.8.0u121|1.8.0u160]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.7.jar</jvm-options> <jvm-options>[1.8.0u161|1.8.0u190]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.jar</jvm-options> <jvm-options>[1.8.0u191|1.8.0u500]-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.1.jar</jvm-options> Depending of your installed Java version (try running java --version) and choose the appropriate line (most likely the last one). Remove the remaining lines and remove the [...] part at the beginning of the chosen line so you will get something like <jvm-options>-Xbootclasspath/p:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/grizzly-npn-bootstrap-1.8.1.jar</jvm-options>

After this, the tools seem to start normally.
