[Snjezana Peco (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6369?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12635121#comment-12635121 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-6369:
--------------------------------------

Downloading runtimes has been implemented using the org.jboss.tools.runtime.core.downloadJBossRuntimes ext. point.
It is defined in the org.jboss.tools.runtime.core plugin. This plugin depends on the org.jboss.tools.runtime plugin.

The UI is placed in the org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui plugin and depends on the project-examples plugin (it uses the download method from this plugin). 
The following is an example of the use of this ext. point:

<extension
         point="org.jboss.tools.runtime.core.downloadJBossRuntimes">
      <runtime
            id="org.jboss.tools.runtime.core.as.702" 
            name="JBoss AS 7.0.2 Everything (NOT Java EE6 Certified)"
            version="7.0.2.Final"
            size="75MB"
            url="http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.0/jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/jboss-as-7.0.2.Final.zip?use_mirror=autoselect"/>
</extension>

See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9368?focusedCommentId=12635034&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12635034.

We could easily move this ext. point, the UI code and the download method to the common or to any other component.

> This can be done using maven, but Tools needs some way to know which containers exists as they can be located in multiple repos and not necessarily a part of Arquillian project.
