[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3087) Consider new installer packages

Mickael Istria commented on JBDS-3087:
--------------------------------------
It reminds me of the talk from mentor graphics at EclipseCon US. They have developed an
RCP application installer that looks quite good and that natively understands Eclipse and
p2 concepts. It would IMO be much better to try using it than to keep on maintaining the
IzPack based installer.

Consider new installer packages
-------------------------------
Key: JBDS-3087
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3087
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta2
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Today we have two installers:
* Stand-alone Installer (504M)
* Installer with EAP (642M)
Both can be used for offline install, but both are large downloads.
When installing JBDS IS offline, a user must download several archives:
* JBDS installer jar (or update site zip)
* JBDS target platform zip
* JBDS IS zip
And, there's no "stub installer for online" which would simply fetch the
content needed to do the install from the update site, making the installer a much smaller
(initial) download footprint.
Therefore Max has suggested that we might want to add two new installers, resulting in
this list:
* Stand-alone Installer (504M)
* Installer with EAP (642M)
* Installer with Integration Stack (~750M)
* Stub Installer (~10M)
