[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13208) Allow custom 'standalone' mode directory in AS7 server plugin

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12822812#comment-12822812 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-13208:
-------------------------------------

These hard-coded values are used in a class named blahblahDefaultLaunchArguments.  They are hard-coded because those are the default launch arguments. 

The user always has the ability to modify these in the launch configuration at their leisure. 

As for some of the details being not hard-coded even as methods, that wouldn't work, because we still need to access this data for things like xpaths, string replacement, and others. We definitely need an API to access these, and simply storing them in a map for use in launch args is not enough.

> 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'.
