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

[Nick Boldt]

Beta1:

Recommend using Kepler M7 JEE:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerm7

Beta2:

My personal recommendation is to suggest one of these:

1. Java & Report: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/node/997 
(like the old JEE one but ALSO includes BIRT so you end up with a 
somewhat larger on-disk footprint)

or

2. Java: 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/keplerrc1 
(users will have to pull JST from Kepler update site when installing 
JBT, which is fine - this simply shifts the amount of download from [in 
the tar.gz] to [on the update site]; either way you'll end up with the 
same installed content)

FWIW, I've frequently tested installation of JBT using both Classic and 
Java bundles, despite the fact that we recommend using the JEE bundle.
