How about instead of
https://github.com/Teiid-Designer/teiid-designer/pull/231/files
adding two sites, we just add the JBTIS TP site [1]?
[1]
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbtistarget/4.1.2.Fi...
That way you could resolve the upstream deps at install time, know for sure you're
adding the same URL you'd see if you installed Teiid from JBTIS itself, and ... ok,
the only problem here is that the Teiid release can't have a different
<reference> if you install it into JBDS.
Because in theory, if you're starting from JBDS, you don't want to end up with
download.jboss.org URLs appearing in your JBDS. Still, it's better than the current
instructions and multitude of steps. I suppose we could say:
{quote}
* Select the Help > Install New Software... action from the main menu.
* In the *Work With* location, enter this URL, and hit enter:
**
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbtistarget/4.1.2.Fi...
* In the *Work With* location, enter this URL, and hit enter:
**
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/integration-st...
* OPTIONAL: If you prefer to install from the archive file, download the archive from
http://download.jboss.org/teiid/designer/8.2/teiid-designer-8.2.0.Final-v...
After downloading, click the Archive... button - then select the *.zip file that you just
downloaded. Click OK.
* In the update site tree view, select the Data Services node and all its children.
** Select Next > Accept any additional dependencies and license agreements, then
click Finish to complete.
** When installation is complete you will be prompted to re-launch Eclipse to insure
the new features are fully operational.
{quote}
Then:
{quote}
* If installing into JBoss Developer Studio, the instructions are the same, but you can
use this URL instead of the *jbtistarget* URL:
** httpd://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0.0/7.0.0.GA.jbds-is-target-platform/

could installation of Teiid Designer be made simpler via p2 metadata
<references> to upstream sites?

Key: TEIIDDES-1843
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1843
Project: Teiid Designer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build, Documentation, Usability
Affects Versions: 8.2
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Paul Richardson
Fix For: 8.3
Attachments: TEIIDDES1843.png, TEIIDDES1843_2.png
Current instructions for installing Teiid Designer 8.2 [1] involve multiple steps,
installs, and restarts of Eclipse. This is more complex than it needs to be.
[1]
https://www.jboss.org/teiiddesigner/downloads
Instead, the Teiid Designer update site could simply reference the upstream URLs that it
needs to perform the installation, and as long as all of Teiid Designer's features
& plugins properly define dependencies on the required upstream features and plugins
on these update sites, installation should be able to proceed from a single URL, rather
than a handful. It would allow installation via a single step, rather than several
iterative steps.
I'll attach a PR to demonstrate this.
