Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-6116:
------------------------------------
It seems what happens is you must make use of the org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery plugin.
This plugin has a file (discovery.xml) which has "sites", and those sites (such
as
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/wasce/updates/) seem to be an eclipse
update site.
The entry point for this wizard is in the New Runtime wizard. At the top is a hyperlink
that reads "Download other adapters" (or something similar). It then queries
these sites, and allows you to select one of those available.
It seems the objects are then downloaded as IInstallableUnit's, which is in the
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata package.
I kinda lose track of it here, but, I suspect that after this it is downloaded as an
actual eclipse bundle and added into the eclipse installation. But I guess I could trace
through further
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://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6116
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: JBossAS
Affects Versions: 3.1.0.GA
Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Fix For: 3.2.x
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.
