                 Key: JBIDE-699
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-699
             Project: JBoss Tools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JBossAS
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Beta2
         Environment: Redhat Linux, Eclipse and JBOSS AS package Downloaded as JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta2-Bundle-linux-gtk.tar

            Reporter: Gail Nagle

There is a fair amount of effort required to create a launch configuration. 
In particular, a long list of external jars often must be added.
The clear intention of the JBOSS AS IDE is to be able to save, share and generally re-use these configurations.
Sharing is further supported by the use of VARIABLE macros in the path of the jars.
The IDE adds a project to the Eclipse workspace and the launch configuration is also saved to a file
When attempting to re-use the configuration, the IDE detects the existence of these files since it will not allow the creation of a second configuration with the same name. BUT IT WILL NOT RUN THE EXISTING CONFIGURATION.
This issue was resolved previously in an earlier version of Eclipse:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=12898
I recently reported it on http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.newcomer/msg17939.html and worked with IBM engineers in Canada to determine that the issue exists in the JBOSS IDE plugin, not in Eclipse itself.
