Max, thank you for your reply. but believe me these two options are no there on the UI. "Right click server > Open launch configuration" -> there is no "Open launch configuration" when right click on the server. there is only "open", which opens up the server editor. "Double click server > the editor that shows up has link to the launch config." ->the editor does not have the link to the launch config. i wish this forum allows picture attachments so i can send you a screen shot. i have a clean eclipse installation and i added the jboss tools by going to the update site.
