> It would be desirable to have this field present in the New Server dialog.

I disagree with this statement. Widgets in the wizard are restricted to basically things that we require or that we expect a large number of people will be changing. This is to make sure we don't overload users just trying to get set up with too many options. 

Niche cases (such as changing minishift-home) are not important enough to be a front-facing control in the new server wizard. If this logic was followed for the EAP or AS app servers, we'd have to include multiple wizard pages full of port settings, restart behavior, timeouts, credentials, etc etc etc.   The simple fact that someone MAY change it is not enough to shove it in their face during the new server wizard.

> Somewhat related to JBIDE-24447 which is about allowing different minishift home set via MINISHIFT_HOME.
> When you create your cdk runtime manually, you should have a way of setting a custom Minishift home. Currently the dialog only contains the Minishift Binary field.
> So if you're using a directory other than ~/.minishift, you will have to create the cdk server first and then change this in the server editor. It would be desirable to have this field present in the New Server dialog.
