Description Isaac Shabtay

2007-07-19 22:30:26 EDT

Build ID: I20070621-1340

Steps To Reproduce:
Currently, the platform only allows the user to specify a specific JRE as the JRE for a newly created server runtime.

When working in a team environment, it is possible that not all members will have the same JRE installed, which creates a problem (because the JRE information is recorded with the project definition). It would be much more convenient if the runtime configuration could refer to an execution environment instead, and have the user "tie the knots" behind the scenes himself.

You should already be able to do this by having each user create their own server with the same name but pointing to a different installed location. Doing this specific request will involve a fair bit of new code to implement something similar to execution environments for servers.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your reply. However, I think there *may* be a little misunderstanding here. I was not looking for an "execution-environment" equivalent for servers (which may be a good idea, but lets work together here). All I wanted is that, in the "New Server Runtime" dialog, I will be able to specify an "Execution Environment" instead of a specific JRE.

Just wanted to make sure we're on the same page...

Old bug, no plan to fix. Please reopen if this is still a problem.
