    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12788722#comment-12788722 ] 

Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-15162:
-----------------------------------------

This is documented in the User Guide, Server Tools chapter, as follows:

A complete server definition requires a server runtime environment and a server adapter. Ideally the server runtime environment would be created by specifying the remote application server and remote Java developer kit but server runtime environments can only be created using local components. To work around this issue, you must have a version of the remote application server and remote Java developer kit installed locally and create a server runtime environment based on these.

See http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/7.0/html/User_Guide/ch02s02s05.html

> See the attached screenshots - it seems counter-intuitive for a user to have to reference an installed local EAP instance to too create a remote server definition
> -  open the "Servers" tab (where servers are stopped/started)
> -  click in the area
> -  now right mouse click and select "New->Server"
> -  select JBoss Middleware  EAP 6.1, click next
> -  this next panel requires you to enter a directory to a local EAP install
