We end up efaulting the product type to "AS", and then the default Resource name, description, and version erroneously contain "AS", rather than "BRMS".
Fixed in master: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=commitdiff;h=cb31626 Name, description, and version now get discovered as follows for BRMS 5.3.0 ER8: Name: BRMS jetengine:1099 default Description: JBoss Business Rules Management System 5 Version: BRMS 5.3.0.BRMS-ER8
Created attachment 601985 [details] brms reopened. clean rhq-server.4.5 (last build) server was installed with only BRMS plugin. BRMS server started. Inventored as EWP server, while in description it is said that it should be BRMS.

This is a problem but it seems to be specific to the version of BRMS being tested. Discovered type is correct for BRMS 5.3.0 but not for 5.1.0 where EWS is instead being detected instead. Probably need to tweak the type lookup code a bit here.
With a little bit more research it looks like both BRMS 5.1.0, 5.2.0 and earlier were actually based on JBoss EWS implementations to the version lookup code is working but discovering that it's a customized EWS instance used for BRMS < 5.3. We need to figure out what the earliest BRMS version that we support is to determine if this is because of an unsupported version? Or we need to update the discovery code to figure out when we've discovered BRMS+EWS instead of just EWS?
The plug-in must support BRMS 5.2.x and later.
So if they run with 5.1.x then it's an unsupported configuration. If they run with 5.3.x then the plugin discovery works correctly. If they run with BRMS server 5.2.x then we're going to be confused as to which server we should be listing: a) EWS 5.2.x or BRMS 5.2.x. We currently look up the JBoss release id from the jboss instance being run to determine EWS, BRMS, etc. 11:48:55,104 INFO [ServerImpl] Starting JBoss (Microcontainer)... 11:48:55,104 INFO [ServerImpl] Release ID: JBoss [BRMS] 5.3.0.GA (build: SVNTag=5.3.0.GA date=201206201517) ... Release ID: JBoss [EWP] 5.1.0 (build: SVNTag=JBPAPP_5_1_0 date=201009150134) BRMS is correctly relabelling for 5.3.x but not for earlier releases. So we're going to have to try to try to figure out how the BRMS instance is different from EWS alone by some other means. Such an approach could be brittle. Can you weigh in on this issue charles? This could be a bigger problems for SOA, JDG, etc if they're doing the same thing with their earlier releases.

Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.
