[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17698) Server view could show all deployed modules, obtained from the server

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-17698:
-------------------------------------

There does exist an API for displaying modules that are external to the workspace, though I've never had a chance to investigate its limitations or how it's intended to be used or what functionality such modules could provide. 

Once concern I have (but again, haven't verified) is that the server may respond with a list of all of its deployments. This may sound great to you, but, it could turn out that we end up with 100 results (if, for example, all the different parts of the server itself count as a deployment, and we end up with a list of all jboss modules that have been deployed (of which our servers tend to have hundreds))  This would utterly clog the view if it were to happen, and would make the tools very difficult to use. 

And then depending on the jboss / wf API, we'd need to decide whether or how to filter such a list, which module types are acceptable (web? ejb? ear? osgi? jboss-modules?)

> Pavol Srna pointed out to me that when he deletes a project in workspace while it's deployed on a running AS7, it disappears from the server view and he can't undeploy it from Eclipse.
> I understand that this is somewhat expected, but we have a suggestion: Could the server view get its deployed modules from the server via the management api and use that to show the modules? Similar to what the web console of AS7/WildFly/EAP6 shows.
