Re: [jbosstools-dev] Export/Import Runtime/Servers?

True but look at it this way. I have been using JBDS for a couple of weeks and I have 10 runtime/servers there. I'm gonna be switching to CR1 next week and how do I bring the runtime/servers with me to CR1? Do I have to create them from scratch again? If so, it's a royal pain in the...
