Ok, i know it may sound complicated, but that kind of configuration, ie keeping well separated the installation from the configuration/customization part was the only way to obtain that Jboss was accepted in the production environment and i'm really sorry that with eclipse and Jboss in 2006 i'm not yet able to do what was possible with Jbuilder and Tomcat back in 2002. Having a single installation/runtime and multiple instances/configurations. Believe me, keeping that kind of configuration also in the pc has its advantages. Instead of spreading all the configuration changes in the various files i have all the customizations in a single place different from the installation and, for example, migrating from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5, which i did recently, costed me just the time to download and unpack the zip file. Unfortunately it's since webtools was born that from time to time i try to see if i'm able to obtain what i need, with no luck and i guess this is another time i'll have to throw in the trash can all the JbossIDE/webtools again and resort back to the old ant way. Are you really sure you cannot do anything in this direction? In any case be sure i appreciate what you have done up to now with your ide.
