Rob Stryker updated JBIDE-8460:

Found a method to replicate at least a little cleaner:

 1) Make a new clean installation
 2) thunar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery_1.0.200.v20110518.jar
 3) Open serverAdapterSites.xml in vim  (from the thunar'd jar file)
 4) Set the contents of the file to:
     <extensions>
        <site url="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/webtools/trunk/"/>
     </extensions>
 5) Save the file (and rollover it into the zip)

There! You now have a testing environment! YAY!  In good news, selecting JUST the as.feature seems to have worked great. I'm still not sure what will happen if you remove the 'category' tag from the non-relevant dependencies... if they still get brought in. Let's hope they do.

> It seems what happens is you must make use of the org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery plugin. This plugin has a file (discovery.xml) which has "sites", and those sites (such as http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/wasce/updates/) seem to be an eclipse update site.
> The entry point for this wizard is in the New Runtime wizard. At the top is a hyperlink that reads "Download other adapters" (or something similar). It then queries these sites, and allows you to select one of those available.
> It seems the objects are then downloaded as IInstallableUnit's, which is in the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata package.
> I kinda lose track of it here, but, I suspect that after this it is downloaded as an actual eclipse bundle and added into the eclipse installation. But I guess I could trace through further
> Changes to our site would require adding the category and adding it to certain features in our site.xml.
