[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12722695#comment-12722695 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-12508:
------------------------------------

[~mickael_istria]: if you installed from site http://foo.bar.baz/ then the correct URL to use to then reference that version of Central would be http://foo.bar.baz/*-directory.xml. 

---

For example:

JBoss Tools latest nightly from trunk update site:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/

JBoss Tools latest nightly from trunk directory.xml file:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/jbosstools-directory.xml

JBDS latest nightly from trunk update site:

http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/builds/staging/devstudio-6.0_trunk.updatesite/product/

JBDS latest nightly from trunk directory.xml file:

http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/builds/staging/devstudio-6.0_trunk.updatesite/product/devstudio-directory.xml

For reference, the directory.xml file is always linked near the bottom of the index page in each update site.

---

Having install the JBT or JBDS Central feature from the update, you would then launch Eclipse or JBDS to point at the matching version of the discovery plugin thus:

{code}
./eclipse -vmargs  -Djboss.discovery.directory.url=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/jbosstools-directory.xml
or
./jbdevstudio -vmargs  -Djboss.discovery.directory.url=http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/builds/staging/devstudio-6.0_trunk.updatesite/product/devstudio-directory.xml
{code}

> Additionally from installing using p2 UI, we should provide the ability to perform installation scenarios based on Central.
