[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-1574) What's up with the "ISO downloads" of JBDS PE 2.x and 3.x?

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12583348#comment-12583348 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-1574:
----------------------------------

BTW, the "now sure what an ISO is?" link, which goes here (http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html), explains to people they have to burn JBDS onto a CD, then reboot to that CD. This is accurate for ISO images of operating systems (like RHEL 6), but entirely misleading for JBDS users wanting to install the software INTO their OS of choice.

> 6. Have a WTF moment as you consider how a jarred installer can be classified as an ISO image.
