Barry LaFond commented on JBIDE-15162:
--------------------------------------

Any chance this can be pulled back to 7.x JBDS?

The Data Virtualization use-case and other use-cases that only need to connect to a remote server would benefit greatly from this.

> See the attached screenshots - it seems counter-intuitive for a user to have to reference an installed local EAP instance to too create a remote server definition
> -  open the "Servers" tab (where servers are stopped/started)
> -  click in the area
> -  now right mouse click and select "New->Server"
> -  select JBoss Middleware  EAP 6.1, click next
> -  this next panel requires you to enter a directory to a local EAP install
