-------------------------------
Summary: CLI-only installation is available but does not provide necessary
info
Key: JBDS-4201
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4201
Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Affects Versions: 10.2.0.GA
Reporter: Misha Ali
I had some feedback from another writer testing a procedure with devstudio. He was using a
CLI-only VM and was confused because the installer worked but offered little information,
as would be expected.
Essentially, the non-GUI installation worked (java -jar devstudio_version.jar) but did not
ask where to install devstudio, nor did it provide the default target folder it used. The
GUI version asks if the user wants to deploy devstudio after the installation, but the
non-GUI version does nothing. The resulting user experience was confusion, not knowing
where devstudio was installed or how to start it.
My questions here are:
- is the non-GUI way a valid installation path? If yes, we should document it, and if not,
we should mention it, either in the docs or when installation happens.
- If the non-GUI installation is a valid path, it should replicate the questions in the
wizard, such as where to install devstudio and which jdk to use, etc. The difference
between the two installation paths causes confusion.
Any thoughts?
