URL for Eclipse plugin outdated in install doc
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-1527
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1527
             Project: JBoss Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Manual
    Affects Versions: 4.0.5
            Reporter: David Croft
         Assigned To: Mark Proctor

Section "3.1.3.3. Installing from the update site" of the documentation gives this URL as Eclipse plugin update website:
http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/updatesite/

When you enter that URL in the latest version of Eclipse, however, you get an inexplicable error message.  After searching the Drools website for awhile, you finally figure out that the URL should be:
http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/updatesite3.3/

Please update the documentation to tell the users that they can get the proper URL from the "Drools IDE Update Site" of the Drools Downloads webpage:
http://labs.jboss.com/drools/downloads.html

Otherwise their first experience with Drools could be frustrating.

Speaking of frustrating, to report this bug I had to sign up for a JBoss user account.  The new user form requires too many mandatory marketing questions which you are not allowed to skip.  Please make those questions optional.
