[jbosstools-dev] Export/Import Runtime/Servers?

[Rob Stryker]

It seems this has been fixed in HEAD and will be out in M7.

Specifically, server id's are now equal to the server name!  (AWESOME!!)

In this way, importing a launch configuration *should* work... or at 
least is no longer as unfeasible. Obviously I'd have to do more tests to 
know for sure just how easy it is, and if an import / export server 
action might be appropriate, but, at the very least, the big hurdle I 
imagined is no longer there.

Both examples below were made with the generic jboss adapter:

Previous server example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<server hostname="localhost" *id="4_29_08_7_12_PM5" name="JBOSS 4.2" 
runtime-id="
JBoss v4.2"* server-type="org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss42" 
server-type-id=
"org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss42" timestamp="1">
  <map jndiPort="1099" key="generic_server_instance_properties" 
port="8080" serv
erAddress="127.0.0.1" serverConfig="default"/>
</server>


M7 example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<server hostname="localhost" *id="JBoss v4.2 at localhost" name="JBoss 
v4.2 at localhost" runtime-id="JBoss v4.2"* 
server-type="org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss42" server-type-
id="org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss42" start-timeout="50000" 
stop-timeout="15000" timestamp="3">
  <map jndiPort="1099" key="generic_server_instance_properties" 
port="8080" serverAddress="127.0.0.1" serverConfig="default"/>
</server>
