+ <p>With the addition of a new checkbox in the server editor, users can now expose their management port when
+ starting and stopping remote (or local!) instances of the server. This ensures that management commands,
+ such as starting and stopping the deployment scanner, or polling the server, work.</p>
+ <p> But be careful! If your server is on production somewhere, it might be unwise to leave that much awesome power
+ available to any computer with a jboss installation and an internet connection! Ask your system administrator for guidance.
+ And never forget, the infinite is unknown at JBossTools!

+ <p>As mentioned over in <a href="../jmx/jmx-news-1.2.0.CR1.html">JMX Tools</a>, support for AS 7's JMX connectivity
+ has moved forward a lot, allowing for faster and smoother usage. With everything from minimizing the number of connections,
+ cleaning up stalled threads, and erroring in a more graceful fashion, it's almost as if JBossTools and AS 7's JMX support
+ were made for each other! With JBossTools, if you're going, we'll fly you there! And how!! </p>

+ That's right. Webtools can find some way to run all their projects on your server, except for EAR projects that is!
+ Well not any more. The new behaviour in JBossTools is to select the first Web project in your EAR and run that one instead.
+ The full module will get published, of course, but at least now a browser will show up with something! </p>
+ <p>In a related issue, right-clicking a .java file to run on your server seems to have always come up with a bit of a
+ strange choice for a web url. It'd actually open a URL like yourwar.war/web-inf/classes/ReallyCoolThing.java.
+ No matter how cool that thing really is, I don't think that's a URL we want loaded. Do you?
+ <p>So everybody, close the door, code your web store, and everybody dance the dinosaur! You've lent me your ear, and this is your reward! </p>

+ <p>If you've tried to open your servers view and right-click the "filesets" category, with the intention of adding
+ a new fileset, you may have noticed that AS 7's defaults were a little... outdated. Default folders
+ that only make sense for AS 6 and below are soOoOOoo beta2. It's a bit like seeing someone wear bellbottoms...
+ it doesn't ruin your day, but it does make you feel just a little more sad about where the world is heading. Either way,
+ JBossTools 3.3.0 CR1 replaces those old rags with new sensible defaults. I can't promise they'll make you smile,
+ but, lets all be honest with ourselves... they will ;) <small>JBossTools Rules!!!</small></p>

+ <p>According to our devs and our QE teams, IPv6 support for JBossTools is online and fully operational.
+ Loading local AS 7 servers with a hostname of "::1" will no longer result in a stuck process
+ and an unresponsive and recalcitrant server refusing repeated requests to shut down already!
+ Browser support in eclipse is also present, so Run-on-server actions should yield the expected result.
+ It's times like this you know JBossTools was the right choice, at the right time, and for the right reasons. </p>

+ <p><b>Stop polluting my deployments folder!</b></p>
+ </td>
+ <td valign="top" width="90%">
+ <p>Back during older versions of JBoss AS, all deployments went into a deploy folder.
+ This included deployments JBoss itself provided. Well, users didn't like having to dig
+ through this mess to remember which deployments were theirs and which weren't. They demanded
+ the ability to segregate their deployments out, and we gave it to them!</p>
+ <p>While this isn't so much an issue now as it was then, there are still a significant number
+ of users, especially in dev mode, who prefer to keep their deployments somewhere other than
+ the app server's standard deployments folder. Well, Beta3 and CR1 have both enhanced this
+ support for JBoss AS 7 in a variety of ways. First, all three standard deployment options are now
+ enabled (server, metadata, and custom), as they are for previous versions. And second, the running server will receive
+ the list of folders that need to be added (or removed) from the server's deployment scanners. </p>
+ <p>No more will users have to suffer through widely differing levels of functionality depending on
+ their app server version. The infinite is unknown at JBossTools.</p>

+ </small></p>
+ <p> In a related issue, some early adopters were confused when a scanner they had added
+ had a 0-second interval, which basically meant inactive. We've added a popup dialog
+ to alert the user in this case. If your server has inactive scanners, you'll be provided a
+ chance to change it, or ignore that dialog forever. </p>

+ </td>
+ <td valign="top" width="90%">
+ <p>Some users who were running servers based on RSE were getting confused how, exactly,
+ to change their launch and stop arguments. By opening the server view, and double-clicking
+ your server, the server editor opens. If you then click "Open Launch Configuration", you
+ have a huge array of options available, but, perhaps, too many options. </p>
+ <p>To help clear up the confusion, if you're running an RSE server, opening the launch
+ configuration will now ONLY show you the remote launch args tab. If you're running
+ a local server, however, all options (minus the RSE tab) will show. </p>
+ <p>A small step every day, with JBossTools leading the way!</p>

+ <p><b>Default classpaths per server made more user friendly</b></p>
+ </td>
+ <td valign="top" width="90%">
+ <p>A while ago, users were asking for ways to customize their project classpaths
+ on a per-server basis. While developing it, we figured that most users wouldn't
+ want to customize each and every server they make. If they happened to make 2 or 3
+ servers with different launch args, for example, it would be tedious to try to
+ update the classpath for each one manually. </p>
+ <p>Instead we went with the ability to customize it on a per server-type basis, or,
+ to add some jars to a global list for all server types. This is accessible through
+ window -> preferences -> server -> runtime environment -> Default Classpaths.
+ Well, somehow during the
+ dev cycle, a lot of this proved to not work in all cases. It also was shown to need
+ a real cleanup to make it more user friendly. The area most confusing to users
+ was Adding a new fileset. And so we cleaned that up, added better defaults,
+ and removed fields that just didn't belong! </p>
+
+ <p>Remember, for all your development environment needs, JBossTools is
