use installMode="root" for top-level JBDS "Core Features" feature ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-3073 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3073 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: installer Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta2 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt To better support the BYOE scenario and be more easily able to update pieces of JBDS w/o having to update the product, we could consider adding installMode="root" to the JBDS "Core Features" feature so it can be installed in parallel to the JBDS "Branded Product" feature, rather than as its child [1]. [1] http://codeandme.blogspot.fr/2014/06/tycho-11-install-root-level-features... We could further do this with other parts of JBDS, but I suspect we don't want to do that as it would allow users to update individual parts of the JBT underlayers piecemeal, rather than as one big update.
