This sounds like an application server issue. Should not this be filed against the appserver plugin category? Petr
The plugin should return false when j2eeserver call StartServer.supportsStartDeploymentManager(). User will be notify that the server is remote and could not be started. We can improve the start/stop dialog by disable the start button and show some text let user know its unstartable due possibly a remote server.
Now when server is remote, start button is disable, message display server running status and a red text warning about remote server not startable.
