5. On this screen you define the server behavior. You can start the server manually or let 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 JBoss Developer Studio to manage your server so you do not need to check anything. Click Next.
