[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15185) add flexibility that JBoss runttime server uses variables instead of absolute path for the home directory.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15185?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-15185: ------------------------------------- This is 100% impossible. I will explain why. Only servers can be stored and shared. Runtimes cannot. Servers are initially stored in one file named servers.xml at the following path: ./workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/servers.xml Servers, however, can be right-clicked and in the properties page can have the option to be stored as separate files. They would then be stored in {workspace}/servers/YourServername.xml. Runtimes, however, are not stored in any accessible place at all. Runtimes are stored as one property key inside the file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs There are many other unrelated keys in that file, most of which have nothing to do with a runtime definition. Runtimes cannot be right-clicked and exported or stored separately. It is 100% impossible in current UI and indeed in current API. There is no option to change where runtimes are stored at all. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
