Yes it is supported. I think your confusion lies in the WTP concept
of runtimes and servers. The same concepts are applicable across all
servers, and this concept is nothing new Geronimo is introducing.
Runtimes are applied to projects which apply a JRE and a Classpath
Container that is targeted for a specific type and version of a
server. Servers are what a given project containing a given runtime
deploy to. For most, if not all server types, defining a server
requires you to define a runtime as well, regardless if your server
is a local or remote server. A remote server cannot be started from
within the adapter, but its state is automatically monitored and
synchronized (STOPPED, STARTING, STARTED), and in order to accomplish
this a local runtime is needed.
So if you want to deploy to a remote server, simply open the server
editor and modify the hostname. If the server is already started,
wait a few seconds and the server state will update and you will be
ready to deploy as normal. If stopped, then manually the start the
server and the server state in the servers view will update accordingly.

Hi there,
I have tried the remote deployment via deploy.bat and it worked
very well.
Now I am interested in remotely deploying my application within
eclipse. Is this
supported? It is not obvious to me how to do it. I tried to
define a new server, then
typed my remote geronimo server's host name as server host name,
selected geronimo as the
server type and hit next. However, the next screen asked me for
application server
install directory which I don't know what to enter for a remote
server. I don't think
I can finish defining a new server if the plugin cannot find the bin
\server.jar file
(finish button is greyed out).
Thanks, Lin
