Rob Stryker resolved JBIDE-7515.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


As shown above, this patch has fixed several things. First, the deploy-only server previously was not able to be created in rse mode. You had to create it in local mode, and then switch to rse in the editor. This was bad workflow. 

Second, the enhancement of allowing launch scripts has been added. The launch tabs, however, will be inactive if your server is set to ignore launches in the server editor. If, however, that setting is not checked, then the launch tabs will be active and you can set startup or shutdown commands. 

In the event of a shutdown, the shutdown script will be called. In the event the shutdown script fails, the initial launch process will be terminated. 

If your initial launch leaves background processes running, and we force-kill the launched process, the deploy-only server will NOT terminate all of them!  This is because java cannot send specific termination signals to a process. The java implementation of process.destroy() may kill, for example, a wildfly's standalone.sh, but will not kill the java process that standalone.sh has launched. 

Users should take care when using this feature.

> Currently the "Deploy only" server can just "deploy" - I suggest we add support for running a start (and optional) a stop script to let users start/stop what they want.
> This would be  a nice stop-gap feature for things like AS 7 or other runtimes out in the world until "native" integration is possible.
