Description Raymond Lai CLA 2011-04-01 14:38:09 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

Say we have a new server type that doesn't have launch configuration defined, i.e. no support for start and stop etc. Then we do a Run On Server and create a new server in the dialog, then we will get the following NPE:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-03-29 10:49:32.819
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Starting Workload Deployer at 10.102.151.56".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server.startImpl2(Server.java:3216)
at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server.startImpl(Server.java:3163)
at org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Server$StartJob.run(Server.java:359)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a new Server Type extension that doesn't have launch configuration
2. Run on Server with a resource
3. Create a new server in the Run On Server dialog, and run.
