The button is not greyed out with Europa (3.3.2).  We removed the
server/runtime features from GEP 2.1.2.  But, they still exist for
previous versions of GEP.  I view the issue you raise as a separate
question, and it is tricky.  The older versions have the "Download and
Install" button on them, and will expect to download the servers from
these runtime features.   So, if we remove the server runtimes, that
button will not work.  Should we discuss which versions of GEP and
server runtimes we want to leave out on our eclipse update site
http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates/ ?

In any case, I don't think this discussion should affect our vote on
and release of GEP 2.1.2.
