[jbosstools-dev] FYI: Kepler JEE bundle has been discontinued after M7

[Nick Boldt]

For the last few years, we've told JBoss Tools users to install into the 
Indigo JEE or Juno JEE bundle, as it includes most of what you need to 
get started w/ JBoss Tools or JBoss Developer Studio - namely Eclipse 
and WTP (JST & WST), and all the dependencies therein.

However, it appears that there is no longer a JEE bundle available after 
Kepler M7 [1]. This might be an oversight, but it looks more like 
there's been some refactoring done to the collection of packages 
available to better meet the community's needs.

Therefore, if you're using JBoss Tools Beta1, you can use Kepler JEE M7 
[1], but for Beta2 and beyond, you'll want to use one of these instead:

Java & Report: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/node/997 (like 
the old JEE one but also includes BIRT)

There are also these options, but they do not include JST:

Java:

Java & DSL:
