   Figure 1.3. Add New Server Runtime Environment

   Note

   Some quickstarts require that you run the server with a different profile or additional arguments. To deploy a quickstart that requires the full profile, you must define a new server and add a Server Runtime Environment that specifies standalone-full.xml for the Configuration file. Be sure to give the new server a descriptive name.
5. On this screen you define the server behavior. You can start the server manually or let Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio manage it for you. You can also define a remote server for deployment and determine if you want to expose the management port for that server, for example, if you need connect to it using JMX. In this example, we assume the server is local and you want Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio to manage your server so you do not need to check anything. Click Next.

6. This screen allows you to configure existing projects for the new server. Because you do not have any projects at this point, click Finish.
