[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13902) Externally managed server status not recognized - user instructed to start an already started server

[John Graham (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13902?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12767799#comment-12767799 ] 

John Graham commented on JBIDE-13902:
-------------------------------------

"do not actually alter the server's running status" - not sure what you mean by this. The "start" menu item does start a server instance, hence changing its state, and the server can be stopped too. If you mean that the "start" item doesn't change the state of an already running server, then I'd say that is a poor name for the menu item (I'd call it "connect" in this case).

> Create a EAP 6.1 server connection (see attached, wizard-page1.png), checking off the option that the server is externally managed (assumed it is running; see attached wizard-page2.png). Although the server is running, the server definition in the server view does not recognize the server status (see attached server-view.png) .
