[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-14728) Distinguish between started and not started servers in MBean Explorer

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14728?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12782418#comment-12782418 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-14728:
-------------------------------------

Currently started servers are expandable and ones that are stopped are not expandable. What would you suggest as further enhancements?

You must remember, the MBean explorer is technically part of a standalone component "JMX", so they don't have any notion in the API at all for 'started' or 'stopped',  only 'connected' or 'disconnected'. 

Once you start a server in the servers view, and it completes startup, it should immediately become expandable in the MBeanExplorer.  Also, users have an action available to them in the servers view:  right-click your server, select "Show In" -> "MBean Explorer".

> Lets imagine these steps:
> STEP: define a lot of servers in servers view
> STEP: run one of them
> STEP: open MBean Explorer view
> STEP: in opened view (MBean) try to connect to started server
> last step is very difficult for user if there are many similar server names or he doesn't remember exactly which server he started before. 
> It would be useful if user has possibility to somehow recognize started and not started servers.
