Horst Duchene commented on JBIDE-15185:
---------------------------------------

I am not sure, if I understand correctly, what the proposed solution is. Therefor I repeat the requirement from [1]:

bq. Instead it should be possibly to use variables similar to launch configurations. Rational: We want to share the runtime definition across workspaces the same way we use the "Shared file" option in launch configurations.

Our need for flexibility would be satisfied if we could use a variable in the field "Home Directory" in the Dialog "Edit Server Runtime Environment" like this:

   ${workspace_loc:JBoss Server/target}

or a system_property as you proposed above.

> 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?
