                 Key: JBDS-1351
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1351
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Denis Golovin
            Assignee: Denis Golovin
             Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta2


That might be implemented using tycho application packaging or PDE build features.

It would let us:
- have any number of JBDS distribution we want (for WEB, SOA and etc development);
- simplified installer build, because build script would just create installer from JBDS distribution and EAP;
- no meta info generation during installation required;
- have only one way to launch JBDS using jbds.exe/jbds/jbds.app platform dependent launcher.
- change root feature from Eclipse Platform to JBDS and make JBDS real eclipse based product;
- trigger update for jbds by updating JBDS feature version;
- control list of available update sites in preferences.
