This issue was set to be fixed in 4.2.0.Alpha1 which was released a month ago - so that seems wrong.

Allow custom 'standalone' mode directory in AS7 server plugin ------------------------------------------------------------- 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'.
