Currently the InstanceProperties.createInstanceProperties() methods is used to register new server in the add new server wizard. After the new instance is registered all the interested ServerInstance listeners are notified that the new server instance was added. These listeners, however, might want to create for example a J2eePlatform instance for the given server, which might not be possible unless some additional instance properties are provided. (This is currenlty a problem in the jboss plugin). One possible solution might be to change semantics of the createInstanceProperties() method, so that it will return a not yet registered IP instance and to add a registeredInstanceProperties() method which would perform the actual registration.
IMO this is not needed, 61981 was fixed w/o needing this (see comment in issue 61981). Changing to ENH, if there is not other usecase then 61981 feel free to close this as wontfix.
OK, closing as WONTFIX.
