Rob Stryker resolved JBIDE-13208.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Done
why not make all the various system properties base, configuration
etc. part of the API instead of just adding it for base dir
It would not make sense to add all of those without also adding UI for each of these
elements. As we usually discuss all of these options already being too cluttered, I
decided to mimic the existing UI for AS < 7. So yes, there were UI additions, but they
simply make hte AS7 wizard fragment look more similar to the AS < 7 fragment (being
able to set more than just the configuration xml).
This was hte easiest fix that makes the various UIs all match up, without having to
completely re-envision the UI for options. We already have an existing UI for cleaning up
the options, but two potential UI changes were both rejected, leaving me a bit stuck for
additional ways to hide the data but still expose all options. Any future attempts to
expose more config options would depend on a cleanup of the UI first. Otherwise it will
just be clutter.
Was this done without zero effects anywhere ? no need for migration
of data ? no need to add things to UI ?
As said above, a UI element was added to the AS7 wizard fragment, but there is no
requirement to migrate any data at all. XPaths used to locate port, etc, on older
servers, are specifically not migrated, and will continue to use standalone directly. I
decided not to migrate the xpaths because users have the ability to modify the xpath they
wish to use, and there is no clear way for me to know whether hte user has customized
their xpaths or not. In absence of any clear way to determine if the xpaths were
modified, only new servers will benefit from the {config_dir} variable.
Allow custom 'standalone' mode directory in AS7 server

Key: JBIDE-13208
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13208
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: server
Environment: Mac OS-X 10.8.2, Java 6, Java 7, JBoss AS 7.x, JBoss EAP 6, JBDS
5.0.1
Reporter: Duncan Doyle
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Labels: f2f2012, new_and_noteworthy
Fix For: 4.2.0.Alpha1
As with JBoss EAP5.x, I have the habit of working in a copy of a 'profile'
directory. With JBoss AS7/EAP6 I therefore work in copies of 'standalone' and
'domain' (depending on the operational mode). When I start AS/EAP, I reference the
correct server directory with the 'jboss.server.base.dir' or
'jboss.domain.base.dir' system property. This allows me, among other things, to
run multiple AS/EAP instances from a single JBoss AS/EAP installation.
It seems that the JBDS AS7 plugin only allows me to reference the default
'standalone' directory. I'm not able to select a different directory in the
'JBoss Runtime' configuration screen. I would propose to add the possibility to
start a JBoss AS7/EAP6 instance from a different directory than 'standalone'.
