Hi Rob,
using the /jdf links is the right way to do on your side. However I do not understand the
requiresCredentials issue is. Is it a problem on your side or does the service return you
something unexcpected? If so, have you checked you saved the changes?
David
Stacks.yaml has various labels we can add to their list of runtimes. One
of the labels we added was 'requiresCredentials". Past (and current)
versions of jbosstools interpret this flag to mean 'go through the jboss
download-manager workflow', where we set the custom request headers.
Otherwise, if requiresCredentials is set to false, we basically do a
generic wget / curl request with no xml headers at all. We treat it the
same way as we would a zip file on sourceforge or any web server.
So if we set that to false, we would do a generic request to the jdf url
with no request headers at all, and this in turn downloads what is an
html page.
Does that make sense?

Subject: Anonymous Downloads for Alpha release, JBT, and Stacks
Hey all:
I've made a comment over on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18709
investigating the issue of anonymous downloads as it pertains to alpha
releases, stacks, and JBT as a group.
It'd be good if those addressed directly above (david, rafael) had a
look just so that everyone's aware of the issues of adding any Alpha
release to JBoss Stacks.
The tl;dr of it is: if we do add alpha releases to stacks, we must
still use the jdf URL, and we must still set requiresCredentials=true,
even though it's not accurate. Otherwise we risk breaking older releases
of JBT.
Any questions or comments are welcome and encouraged on the jira issue
directly.
Thanks in advance.
