> This really should have been done several years ago :) But it should be trivial, so why not do it now.
> When you start an older server, such as JBoss AS 4 or EAP 5.2, on Mac, once the server is started, a new icon will be added to Dock and it will gain focus and in the menu bar, it will say org.jboss.Main.
> The solution is to add -Djava.awt.headless=true to the VM arguments in the launch config.
> I noticed that we already do this for EAP 6.1, so can we do similarly for older servers?
> I checked this works with JBoss AS 4.0, 4.2.3 and EAP 5.2. 
> Also, this only happens with JDK 1.6. When I started AS 4.0 with JDK 1.8, the process didn't have an icon in the dock. But it shouldn't break to add the headless parameter everywhere (I checked for this case).
> The reason we came across this now is that it breaks our tests - Eclipse loses focus once the server starts on Mac. Surely we can work around that (and we will for now), but I thought we could fix this in the tools directly.
