---------------------------------------------
It is clearly neither i'm suggesting. See my first comment:
"The idea was that we don't need the entries for jboss tools based plugins in the
actual central TP."
That means that the content coming from JBT is *NOT* to be in central TP but into the main
JBDS TP (the one used for creating the main updatesite).
A talks about *all* JBT and putting in central - so that is not it.
B talks about an additional updatesite - that is not what i'm suggesting either.
And no, early access and central updatesites CANNOT be in the same updatesite - that have
been discussed ad libitum before how that is not okey since:
A) Earlyaccess IS NOT central
B) if you add earlyaccess into central then users running Help > Check for updates (or
install) will get earlyaccess content even though they have not enabled it.
I would really appreciate if we stop having to return to that item again - central IS NOT
earlyaccess and vice versa thus they cannot be intermingled.
i suggest we park this and go through this during f2f or at least after CR2 since now is
really not the time to such revamps that needs testing.
Create new update site zip(s) (rather than target platform zip) for
JBT content needed for Central/EA site

Key: JBIDE-18239
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18239
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build, central, discovery, updatesite
Affects Versions: 4.2.0.CR1
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Labels: f2f2014
Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1
Attachments: JBIDE18239-proposed.png
In order to simplify the process for getting JBT features into Central (for JBDS) and EA
(for both JBT/JBDS), it's been suggested (by [~maxandersen], who doesn't like
opening JIRAs :D) that instead of a target platform which needs to be updated every time
we spin or respin a build, we could instead just produce an update site containing the
handful of IUs (cordovasim, arquillian, etc.).
We could further extend this idea to include all the things that currently are in BOTH
JBT or JBDS and in Central, such as TestNG.
These would be produced as new zips using the JBT aggregate builder:

Need to decide what to call this... "Extras" "JBT-not-in-JBDS"
"Shared" ...?
