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

my bad - read it as 4.1.1.Alpha1 - sorry for that.

And I don't understand why you find it ok to have "configuration" and "logs" etc. hardcoded as strings since these are obviously possible to change via AS's own API of property settings.

nothing to do about others using the api but about what the api need to be flexible to actually support jboss it self.

Heck - could even not have this as hardcoded methods but just have a map where those values gets defined so you can add as needed.

> 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'.
