The above lines do not give a message of "Brontes started". I tried removing "MaxPermSize=256M" but same thing happening. Have set the JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java". Have I missed out something. Do I need to also define JBOSS_HOME or any other environment variable like PATH? Stuck at this point.

Welcome to CodeRanch!

JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final is an old version and was never tested with Java 8. Have you tried using a lower version of Java to run it?

On a related note, I highly recommend that you use the latest released WildFly version (9.0.0.Final currently) http://wildfly.org/downloads/ instead of AS 7.x. JBoss AS was renamed to WildFly (http://jaitechwriteups.blogspot.in/2013/06/wildfly-release-and-history-behind-the-release.html) and thus WildFly releases are a continuation of the JBoss AS releases.
