Failed to start from what?

Servers are not easy to run from the IDE since they might require specific command line and environment variables.

> causing an error when it tries to shut the server down.  However, running the server in Eclipse as a debug process works perfectly.  Here are the log entries when it fails.  The log simply stops after the last entry.

Everything is fine here

> Is it that Eclipse cannot run both processes together? It is very confusing. I added additional logging statements, and recompiled MaryTTS, but it simply stops at the same point, and the maven compiler gives the error I posted before. 

You can pause process in debugger and see what is it doing. Most likely it's waiting for connections.

This seems to be a real problem and it doesn't seem to be related to the server running. It says it fails to load some file from acoustic model due to some misconfiguration. You need to review and debug it. You seem to cut the exception text in the end while it contained most important information.
