Starting wso2 enterprise integrator server from EI Tool - eclipse

Question

I'm starting a new project with Enterprise Integrator 6.0 and so far I'm unable to start a server from within the eclipse distribution that comes with the EI Tool.
When I was working with ESB, I used to create a server and create a Runtime environment pointing the CARBON_HOME variable to <ESB_INTALLATION_DIR>/bin, but if I do the same with Enterprise Integrator I get the following error:
Configuration error

I'm able to start the EI server from the console, but in the long run it would be way easier to work directly from eclipse. Can anyone shed a light on how to do this configuration?
I'm running on java jdk 1.8.0_25, windows 10.

So apparently the default arguments used by eclipse in the launch configuration was all wrong.It was using the file structure for ESB projects, and that's what caused the FileNotFoundException.For example, the default server configuration would have something like
-Dconf.location="<CARBON_HOME>/repository/conf"
When it should be:
-Dconf.location="<CARBON_HOME>\conf"
I found this after some digging with the integrator.bat script. Information about the configuration differences between ESB and EI can be found here.
-EDIT-
It seems these problems are going o be fixed in the next release
