Ok.

I thought about this and i think most of my comments on it went lost in  
the skype echo, so here is what I suggested:

Keep the same downloads as we have now under the JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1  
category.

add a new category called JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps (or something) that  
simply is the exact same plugins but *without*
any external plugins.

...and may I suggest to move all the MD5 files to a seperate category ?  
They are the main reason for all the clutter imo (and it is downloaded by  
*very* few people)
..and even move the test builds out of the way too.

The result would be something like:

  JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1
  	HibernateTools-3.2.0.beta7.zip 	
  	HibernateTools-Tests-2.0.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-ALL.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-Bundle-linux-gtk.tar.gz 	
  	JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-Bundle-win32.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-AOP-Developer-1.2.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-Core-2.0.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-Drools-3.0.4.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-EJB3-Tools-1.1.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-FreeMarker-1.0.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-JBossAS-Tools-1.0.0.Beta1.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-JBossCacheIDE-2.0.0.Beta1.zip
  	JBossIDE-JBossWS-0.3.2.zip
  	jBPM-Designer-3.0.11.zip 	
  JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps
  	HibernateTools-3.2.0.beta7-nodeps.zip 	
  	HibernateTools-Tests-2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps.zip 	
  	JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-ALL-nodeps.zip 	
  	...
  JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-aux
         <all of the above>.MD5
         <the tests plugins>.zip

That makes it alot simpler IMO.

Thing to consider is:

a) what about source builds ?
b) should we provide a jbosside-alldeps.zip as a download under the  
-nodeps?

does the feature.xml in any way control what gets into the .zip file ?
or is that controlled by something else ?

The next step after is to consider simply depending on features instead of  
individual plugins..

If i understood correctly here is what we are planning to submit  
indivdually:

Koen: Hands-on JBPM which uses the desginer

Olav: 2(?) talks about soapui and the jbosside plugin

Max: Hibernate Tools

(...and someone (Thomas Heute) might also do things in context of Seam)

What I suggest is that we can do a jbosside-BOF or something where we walk
through some of the features of the authors who will be at JBW and then let
people ask questions/suggestions etc. I'll find out who I should contact  
inside
JBoss to email them directly instead of a "normal" submission.
