[Snjezana Peco]

Hi,

Currently, JBDS creates AS and Seam Runtime if EAP is included in JBDS.
No one runtime will be created if EAP and/or SOA-P is added by the user.
Taking this into consideration, I propose the following:
1) creating a new plugin (org.jboss.tools.runtime) that would start:
- JBoss AS
- Seam
- JBPM
no matter if they are added by the user or EAP  is included in JBDS.
The plugin would depend on jboss.as, seam, jbpm (and drools) and use the 
startup ext. point in a way similar to the the 
org.jboss.tools.jst.firstrun plugin. It would always be loaded, but the 
required plugins (jbpm, seam, as, drools) would be loaded only when 
creating a workspace (if their runtime exists). The code for 
initializing Seam Runtimes would be moved to this plugin.

We could also use the org.jboss.tools.jst.firstrun plugin if it is 
possible to add these dependencies to it.

Question :
If the user adds SOA-P, EAP and AS servers, do we need to create runtime 
for all of them?
