When you start IDE with appserver plugin, but without appserver, there is a problem that appserver is default server, but it's not working till J2EE platform manager is used. It can be solved by several ways: 1. Display J2EE platform manager dialog automatically for the first time after installing appserver plugin. 2. Move J2EE platform manager menu item from Tools menu to popup menu of Appserver node under Runtime. This is the place where most users looking at. 3. Let Tomcat server as default after installing plugin and change it to appserver just after setting path in J2EE platform manager. Only one, two or even all three ways can be implemented.
Almost done...Working on it.
3/ is implemented now: if the location is bas, no default instance is created for app server, so that tomcat stays the default.
