You have to be more clear here - what do you think the early access feature in new JBoss
Central is for if not for installing early access components the user haven't
installed yet ? (With clear warnings of course)
{quote}
Perhaps my understanding is not clear, but, installing early access components is fine,
but that shouldn't change the version of JBDS. Install all the early access components
you want, none of them are supported etc.

so you are fine to install addons that makes the product unsupported and cannot be undone

They make the components unsupported, not the product. If customer installs an early
access version of "angularjs tooling" but then has an issue with his workspace
for example, if he's running an Alpha release of JBDS it's not supported. If
he's running JBDS GA with a early access of "angularjs tools", he's
still supported with any issue not related to angularjs tooling.
If you want to upgrade the user to a non supported version, we have to have a way customer
can go back to a supported version easily without it affecting their workspace/projects
and existing tools. At the moment, I believe this is not possible or as [~nickboldt] says,
is "problematic at best". I'm starting to think even with warnings and pop
ups, this isn't a good idea.

Should we be able to update JBDS 8.0.0.GA -> 8.1.0.Alpha1 via
Early Access?

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3085
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: updatesite
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
Attachments: 128_jbds_icon_beta.png, splash_beta.png
Max brought up a question on a call today:
*Should we be able to update JBDS 8.0.0.GA -> 8.1.0.Alpha1 via Early Access?*
This was supposedly in the original scope for the creation of a Early Access site, but I
never saw that. So, in order to get some eyeballs on this idea, and to get buy-in from
QE/doc/dev/PM/PgM/PL, I'm cc:'ing some people here so we can discuss the cons and
cons of this idea.

(Aside: has anyone noticed that there's an plethora of people with "M"
names on this team?)
Things to consider:
a) what happens if an 8.0.0.GA user suddenly finds they've updated to an Alpha or
Beta release? Can they uninstall? (Probably not, if they started with the installer;
probably yes if they started from BYOE / Marketplace.)
b) how will GSS support these "I was on GA but not I'm on Beta" users?
c) What about project examples that might / might not be compatible between 8.0 and 8.x,
eg., because of changes in Eclipse Luna or a new default runtime (EAP 6.3, 6.4) ?
d) what could possibly go wrong?
