Explore the runtime environment using developer tools

We can use the Runtime Explorer view to browse the available servers. This view shows all of the available servers for the runtime environment as opposed to the Servers view, which shows only those servers configured in the workspace. In both the Runtime Explorer and Servers view, we can expand each server to show the configuration for that server.

The application server that the Runtime Explorer view supports is the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile.

We can use the Runtime Explorer view to complete the following tasks:

• View the servers defined in a runtime environment.

• View the shared configurations files defined in a runtime environment.

• Create a runtime environment and optionally install add-ons from the Liberty Repository on the Downloads page on WASdev.net.

• Create a server in a runtime environment.

To open the Runtime Explorer view:

1. In the toolbar of the workbench, select Window > Show View > Other.

2. In the Show View window, expand Server and select Runtime Explorer. Click OK.
