Hi EDH,
seems to me like you've got a usability issue with Eclipse as a development environment, this thread is actually about an entirely different problem. We use Eclipse as a rich client platform, the plugins we refer to are [b]not[/b] the web tools platform or the glassfish connectors but our own implementation of an application inside the RCP.
Now let me cut to the chase, here is a good description of how to use Eclipse in combination with glassfish
https://glassfishplugins.dev.java.net/eclipse34/index.html.
The glassfish plugin does not come with an application server as far as I know.
So in my opinion you're good. For any details see the link above.
Bye Stephan
