Because JBossAS Tools has found most people using EAP are using their own downloaded versions of EAP, these versions are secured. Therefore for out-of-the-box experience, users must switch the deployment location to server-based, or unsecure their EAP, etc.

ASTools has switched to defaulting EAP to server-based, and so a solution needs to be provided to allow JBDS to auto-configure the bundled EAP and created server to default to metadata deployment
