Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-13208:
---------------------------------------------

I does not make sense to have UI for every element that is correct - that is not what I asked. I saw we multiple places have the same string hardcoded instead of using an api that matches what the server does (like having getBase, getConfiguration). These would all simply just be based of on base.

About UI - be friendly to QE and Doc and attach a screenshot :)

> As with JBoss EAP5.x, I have the habit of working in a copy of a 'profile' directory. With JBoss AS7/EAP6 I therefore work in copies of 'standalone' and 'domain' (depending on the operational mode). When I start AS/EAP, I reference the correct server directory with the 'jboss.server.base.dir' or 'jboss.domain.base.dir' system property. This allows me, among other things, to run multiple AS/EAP instances from a single JBoss AS/EAP installation.
> It seems that the JBDS AS7 plugin only allows me to reference the default 'standalone' directory. I'm not able to select a different directory in the 'JBoss Runtime' configuration screen. I would propose to add the possibility to start a JBoss AS7/EAP6 instance from a different directory than 'standalone'.
