Jim Tyrrell commented on JBDS-831:
----------------------------------

I think you got it, the problem as I saw this was if I have an existing workspace say against the JBDS 2.0 and targeting EAP 4.3.  If I am not careful when I run and install JBDS 2.1 against EAP 5.0 I might have some big problems in my project.  There were some very odd behavior, and it is not exactly clear to me how I would import/modify the old workspace to work in the new JBDS 2.1 with EAP 5.0.

> A couple of users had the problem they could not understand why the servers configured in the installer were not available to them 
> after installing JBDS 2.
> The problem was they selected an existing workspace which we don't mess with by default.
> I see two solutions/fixes for this:
> 1) Have a different default workspace name per major release (i.e. jbds2-ws)
> Problem: users will bump into the same issue when they then install JBDS 2.0.1
> 2) Have the runtime configuration some how mark the workspace with that it have been executed or not and then have some
> ui in case there can be some conflicts between server names etc ?
