This is not a requirement for other commands such as deploy. There are some points of confusion: # JBOSS_HOME is set in .bashrc but IDEs do not read .bashrc, thereby it can work in some cases but not in others; # usually there are more than one installation or jboss-as-maven-plugin can download the server; # jbossHome config parameter is not take into account; # what if I want to make operations on more the one server at the same time? At the moment I solved by patching jboss-as-cli using a system property instead of environment variable. I don't know how to solve without touching jboss-as-cli.
