[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-1355) Geronimo Server Plug-in Needs User Documentation

Arthur Ryman commented on GERONIMO-1355:
----------------------------------------

To proceed with testing, I created a directory for the [Install Server] button. However, Eclipse seemed to hang at that point. I got an hourglass cursor and my window said "Not Responding".If this task takes a long time, it should be done in a background job. What is supposed to happen during install?

> I was trying to install the server adapter in WTP 1.0 RC4 but didn't get very far. I don't understand the expected behavior after download. What do I need to configure. 
> In the "New Server Runtime" dialog there are two buttons. [Browse] and [Install Server]. I believe the [Browse] button just want the location of the Geronimo runtime, i.e. where I unzipped the download (I am trying to install manually since the Update Manager approach failed). What does [Install Server] do? It also prompts for a directory. What is that used for? I'd appreciate some online Help. How about adding some Dynamic Help to explain the buttons, or maybe a new article or tutorial. The old Tim Francis article skips over the install details. Thx.
