<alt>This is a screen capture of the Server view.</alt></image> </p><p id="rwrcview_p2">Use
the Servers view to perform the following tasks:</p><ul>
<li id="rwrcview_li1">Create a server</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li2">Edit a server</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li3">Delete a server</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li4">Start a server in debug mode</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li5">Start a server </li>
<li id="rwrcview_li6">Restart a server in debug mode</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li7">Restart a server</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li8">Stop a server</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li10">Publish your application</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li11">Monitor server ports</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li11b">Displaying or hiding the metadata of the server from
the workbench</li>
<li id="rwrcview_li12">Add and remove projects from a server</li>
</ul><p id="rwrcview_p3">The Servers view displays the current status of all
the servers. The <b>Status</b> column indicates whether or not a server has
been started. The following lists the possible server status:</p><ul>
<li id="rwrcview_ul2li1">Starting</li>
<li id="rwrcview_ul2li2">Started</li>
<li id="rwrcview_ul2li3">Debugging</li>
<li id="rwrcview_ul2li4">Stopping</li>
<li id="rwrcview_ul2li5">Stopped</li>
</ul><p id="rwrcview_p4">The Servers view also displays the current state
of all the servers. Depending on the status of the server and the preference
options that are selected for that particular server, the workbench determines
the server actions that may be taken. Use the <b>State</b> column as an indicator
for possible actions that you may want to take. For example, if the workbench
detects that a file defined to run on a particular server has changed, and
the  <uicontrol>Automatically restart servers when necessary</uicontrol> check
box has been selected on the Server preferences page ( <uicontrol>Window >
Preferences > Server > Launching</uicontrol>), the server tools
automatically restart that server. The  <uicontrol>Status</uicontrol> column
in the Servers view changes from  <varname>Started</varname> to  <varname>Stopped</varname> to
 <varname>Started</varname>. However, if this check box is not selected, the
 <uicontrol>State</uicontrol> column in the Servers view changes to  <varname>Republish</varname>.</p><p
