[jbosstools-dev] integration stack component installation

Mon Nov 17 10:59:14 EST 2014

Will this help: 

(Max) Can we start by putting existing devstudio installer there now ? (last time I looked it was not even mentioning it) 

I thought that the problem was that after users had installed JBDS, they could not locate the appropriate tooling?
