Filter runtime downloads to hide unsupported runtime types ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-17523 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17523 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: runtime-detection, server Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta2 Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Rob Stryker Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta3 This concern arose while testing the new WildFly 8.1 runtime added to stacks.yaml (JDF-727). This itself is ok, but Rob pointed out another concern: If a new runtime requires a new runtime type in the future and we add this to stacks.yaml, older versions of JBDS/JBT will not recognize this runtime type, but will still gladly offer it to you for download through Preferences -> Runtime Detection -> Download. When you choose the path of Server -> New, the runtimes offered for download are restricted to the given server type, so we're safe there. So this is what we should do: The list of runtimes offered for download should always be restricted to only those runtimes that are defined in the given JBDS/JBT. E.g. if EAP 7 needs an eap7 runtime type in stacks.yaml, but this type is not available in JBDS 8, JBDS 8 should not offer EAP 7 for download.
