[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6116) Would be very nice if JBoss Tools would download and install JBoss AS into a local directory so that manual configuration can be avoided.

Lincoln Baxter III commented on JBIDE-6116:
-------------------------------------------

Yeah, I think 5 and 6 would both be needed.

The installation directory should provide a sensible default inside the eclipse workspace, but also allow the user to select a custom directory if that's not good enough for them.

So start with ./currentworkspace/jbossas/{5 or 6.M2}/ ...

Then let them type and or browse to a directory if they want to change that.

As far as the stable downloads directory-- I guess the best place to ask that would be the AS group themselves. I'm not sure where the stable downloads come from. SF.net might be good enough, but I don't know for sure. Who would know?

> When using the GlassFish eclipse plug-in, if the Server Runtime is not currently installed or configured, the plug-in will give you a chance to configure the Runtime, or click a button/link to have the plugin go out to the internet, download, and configure the application server for you.
> I think it would be great for new users/usability if JBoss Tools could provide a similar convenience.
> The latest plugin-compatible version of the AS should probably be the target of the download.
