Hey Max, If a server is stopped then Designer creates a default teiid server model since there is no way to know if the server has teiid installed. This means its possible to display the Teiid Instance Editor page with default values. However on starting the server in Eclipse, the server model is given a chance to query the JBoss parent server and updated according to the teiid installation. If there is no teiid installation then the model is removed entirely (in such an event the Teiid Instance Editor page displays a "not installed" message). Always nuanced use-cases that might need to be handled but I think we're getting there.
