You're going to want to to use the method in JBossServer.class named getConfigDirectory(); This will at first just get the regular config directory, but if the user has overridden the config directory of the server in command line arguments (by using ANY of the command line arguments in IServerStartupParameters), then it will return that folder instead. So you can use JBossServer.getConfigDirectory(false) if you *don't* want to let the server's command line arguments override the server's natural configuration folder. Here's a snippet: IServer server = ... (I assume you have it already) JBossServer jbs = (JBossServer)server.loadAdapter(JBossServer.class, new NullProgressMonitor()); if( jbs != null ) { String configFolder = jbs.getConfigDirectory(); // or, if you don't want to override via the command line args, // String configFolder = jbs.getConfigDirectory(false); } Hope that helps.
