Rob Stryker updated JBIDE-7920:
-------------------------------

        Fix Version/s: 3.2.0.CR1
    Affects Version/s: 3.2.0.Beta2
          Component/s: JBossAS


As per discussion with max, if moving the deployment settings to page1 is impossible (it really seems like it is), then at least a hyperlink and text should be added to page1 to give users a clue that they should go to page 2.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate an API to allow me to do this. MultiPageEditorPart does have a method setActivePage(int), however this method is protected. The ServerEditor makes use of it only in one line, but does not expose it via any API.

My ServerModeSection *can* get a reference to the ServerEditor, however since ServerEditor does not expose any way for me to make use of the setActivePage(int) api, I am not sure I am even able to create a hyperlink here. It seems only the editor, and not it's delegates, can make use of this API. It's possible a patch to wtp server tools would allow a fix but I really doubt servertools would move on this issue and would probably express hesitance to add new API that they'd need to support later. 

Without an API I can use to change the page, a hyperlink cannot be added and the best I could do is a label instructing users to the second page for deployment preferences.

> Using a deploy-only server in Local mode, no deployment preferences are shown on page1. This seems strange considering it's all the deploy-only server actually needs to do.
