Burr, I tried again to reproduce your weirdness, but failed to do so.

The difference on my end is that in my case "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java" is Java 7, not Java 6. Why haven't you upgraded your system java to java 7 yet anyway? Apple has disabled the Java plugin in Safari for everybody who still has Java 6. I believe OS X should have offered you the upgrade long time ago.

But anyway, I am still unable to make the server fail to start.

I was using JBDS 7.0.0.Alpha1 B124, EAP 6.1.0.ER3, "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java" for JBDS installation: java version "1.7.0_17".
And then I added the EAP server using the default Java 1.7 on my mac - again 1.7.0_17.

> My Mac has both the Apple Java 6 and Oracle Java 7 installed.  
> If I take the defaults from the JBDS Installer, allowing it to pick a Java 6 JRE, but then manually adding a server with Java 7 - the IDE fails to see that the server started.
> Installation1.png - a screenshot of the defaults selected by the installer.
> This places the following in my jbdevstudio.ini
> -vm
> /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java
> and in About - Installation Details - Configuration:
> -vm
> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework
> Adding a New Server (EAP 6 or 6.1) - but selecting Java 7 for the Runtime - is where the IDE fails to see that the server has started (runtime_JDK_7_selection.png)
> The result is a failed start (failed_start.png)
