_It should be noted that this is not a NEW thing - only that we just now noticed it :-)

The end-user could add an EAP that is on a shared file system and technically not on local disk.
We do offer deployment/undeployment to a remote EAP but I am not sure how to add it to the IDE for usage.

In any case, if we can figure out the various use case scenarios and their relatively priorities then we can work on that for 7.1.
We have had other customers interested in remote server management/deployment, etc 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14073
In this particular case, I believe the customer would be best served by OpenShift Enterprise which is all "remote" by default._

> 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
