--------------------------------------------

>> "download jboss runtimes" - why not have it be about runtimes in general ?

>Will I add the download button to the Runtime Detection preferences page?

Not necessarily, but central isn't the right place to have this - jboss central aggregates from various places - runtime download/detection etc. is better combined.

>> Why isn't this part of the runtime detection instead of in central ?

>I think we could add the Download button to the runtime detection page. 

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a download button in central - but the core extension point feels more sane to have in runtime detection.

>However, we can't know what >runtimes/plugins a user needs when running project examples/tutorials. We >could add all available >runtimes (those that have an ext. point).

yes.

> When a user chooses a project example, we know what runtimes/plugins he needs (based on the requirements >within the project example file). That's why I have added the Download button to the Project Example >wizard where the user can download or install only required runtimes/plugins.

Yes, makes sense.

>> Why are we using mixed cases in the xml ? thats not the convention of eclipse

>That change would require changes in all the project examples files.

We can't do that - its api now and need to work with JBDS 4/JBT 3.2 too.

But for new extension points like the runtime download stuff better to follow eclipse conventions.
