--------------------------------------
In general, I'm not sure it's a good idea to use installMode="root" for
JBDS. We'd rather have users updating the whole JBDS than just the included feature.
I'd hope that Check for Update would update product, or that partial updates would
show a remediation page suggesting to update the whole product.
use installMode="root" for top-level JBDS "Core
Features" feature

Key: JBDS-3073
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3073
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta2
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 8.0.0.Beta3
To better support the BYOE scenario and be more easily able to update pieces of JBDS w/o
having to update the product, we could consider adding `installMode="root"` to
the JBDS "Core Features" feature so it can be installed in parallel to the JBDS
"Branded Product" feature, rather than as its child [1].

We could further do this with other JBDS/JBT child features, but I suspect we *don't
want to do that* as it would allow users to update *individual parts piecemeal*, rather
than as one big update.
