What i'm seeing missing is a way to "group" servers in the view and for operations. i.e. I think it would be interesting to see if we can utilize the "working set" concept that exists for resources in eclipse to servers. Such a "Server working set" is a way to "tag" servers (multiple servers can be in multiple groups) and it is something that you can do operations on. i.e. "Start" on a working set will start all servers in there, "Deploy" on a working set will deploy the chosen project to all servers in that working set. etc. WDYT ?
