Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-15185:
---------------------------------------------

[~ghjboss] I'm finding it really hard to see how it brings a lot of flexibility.

The only flexibility I can see is that the user can go and add in jbds.ini/eclipse.ini 
-Dmyjboss.home=<serverlocation> and then have the server in the workspace use
that location instead.

That means the user now can define a server adapter in his workspace with ${system_property:jboss.home}
as the path and he can now change it in jbds.ini/eclipse.ini instead of editing the runtime/server adapter.

He can't share it with anyone.
He has to set this up in each workspace he uses.

Is that the "lot of flexibility" you mean ?

> The current jbds version only allow users to specify an absolute path for "Home Directory" when creating JBoss Runtime Server. Is it possible to use a user defined variable here?
