Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-23409:
-------------------------------------

Few problems here:
  1) Runtimes do not need credentials
  2) Servers do have management credentials, but it currently doesn't use the credentials API. 

So far the only server type that actually stores credentials in the foundation credentials API is CDK. EAP / WF server adapters just have text fields. 

I've debated migrating the as/wf/eap server adapters, but so far haven't seen the benefit to doing it. The only reason CDK does it is bc it uses official Red Hat credentials, associated with a Red Hat domain. WF/EAP would use a localhost set of credentials, arbitrary user/pass combination not associated with any real world domain.

> Today while creating a cdk server adapter, I noticed there is a new Edit button when selecting credentials for the adapter. This was recently added here: JBIDE-23382
> I would like to propose a change to make it consistent with other things like JREs when creating a server adapter.
> So in the server editor, we used to have just Add.. and now we also have Edit...:
> !credentials.png!
> Similar thing in the New Server adapter.
> Now look at the New Runtime dialog:
> !runtimes.png!
> I think it would be nice to do it similarly, wdyt?
> Meaning, instead of Edit.. and Add.., we would simply have a button for "Credentials..." which would open the appropriate Preference page (and upon closing, you would need to update the content on the page to show any added credentials).
