-------------------------------------

> This issue was set to be fixed in 4.2.0.Alpha1 which was released a month ago - so that seems wrong.

I am 99% sure that 4.2.0.Alpha1 is unreleased. I do not recall us branching master at all, as the focus has mostly been on maintenance. Also the team calendar indicates that 4.1.1.Final will be in December, and 4.2.0.Alpha1 has no date attached to it, so I assume that is for next year.

> 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'.
