[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6116) Would be very nice if JBoss Tools would download and install JBoss AS into a local directory so that manual configuration can be avoided.

-------------------------------------------
Yeah, I think 5 and 6 would both be needed.
The installation directory should provide a sensible default inside the eclipse workspace,
but also allow the user to select a custom directory if that's not good enough for
them.
So start with ./currentworkspace/jbossas/{5 or 6.M2}/ ...
Then let them type and or browse to a directory if they want to change that.
As far as the stable downloads directory-- I guess the best place to ask that would be the
AS group themselves. I'm not sure where the stable downloads come from. SF.net might
be good enough, but I don't know for sure. Who would know?
Would be very nice if JBoss Tools would download and install JBoss AS
into a local directory so that manual configuration can be avoided.

Key: JBIDE-6116
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-6116
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: JBossAS
Affects Versions: 3.1.0.GA
Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III
Fix For: 3.2.next
When using the GlassFish eclipse plug-in, if the Server Runtime is not currently
installed or configured, the plug-in will give you a chance to configure the Runtime, or
click a button/link to have the plugin go out to the internet, download, and configure the
application server for you.
I think it would be great for new users/usability if JBoss Tools could provide a similar
convenience.
The latest plugin-compatible version of the AS should probably be the target of the
download.
