Gabriele Garuglieri commented on JBIDE-2627:
--------------------------------------------

Actually you have a couple of ways to use different deployment dirs without copying around installation dirs.

1- use the mbean "jboss.deployment:type=DeploymentScanner,flavor=URL" method addURL() via jmx after server startup to dynamically add a deployment directory. This must be done each time the server is restarted and you are still using the working dirs set of the installation.

2- use the ${jboss.server.base.dir}, ${jboss.server.base.url} and ${jboss.server.name} configuration properties to setup different server instances for each server definition in eclipse. 
In this way you need to twiddle a bit the jboss-service.xml (into ${jboss.server.base.dir}/${jboss.server.name}/conf) to include ${jboss.home.dir}/server/default/deploy into the directories scanned for deployment. 
This is what i use, in combination with service-bindings.xml, so that i can have multiple instances active at the same time(ref http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=143827). Respect to the former, this way gives the option to use, with a single installation, completely different set of working dirs (deploy, data, log, tmp, etc.) for each instance, avoiding possibility of any contamination and even build clustered configurations (if the pc processor and memory can cope with it).

It would be great if the server component of JBoss Tools could add support these configuration options.

> When doing development of several independent applications over the  JBoss AS, that JBoss AS installation get contaminated by those applications 
> If I create  workspaces1, and inside it I create dynamic webproject 1, and run it on JBoss, then I switch to workspace2, and create dynamic webproject 2, and run it on JBoss, since it is the same JBoss instance, both dynamic webproject 1 and dynamic webproject 2 will start (and there is no way, from inside eclipse to undeploy dynamic webproject 1 unless I go back to workspaces1 and  undeploy it.
> But, if one is working with Tomcat, there is no problem, applications do not "contaminate" the shared Tomcat, why is that? well  the Tomcat WTP Adapter has a configuration option enabled by default under "Server Location",  that reads: "Use workspace metadata (does not modify Tomcat installation)". I would like to have an option like that for JBoss AS.
