Why not just have http://docs.jboss.org/tools/latest/ point to http://www.jboss.org/tools/docs/reference, since that's where the latest docs actually live?

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-documentation/pull/50

[~maxandersen] Please note that to create symlinks on download.jboss.org (and presumably docs.jboss.org too), you have to create one *locally* to a *local* folder, then push the symlink to the server w/ rsync:

{code}
mkdir -p some/folder/to/link
rm -f latest
ln -s some/folder/to/link latest # use relative path, not absolute
rsync -Pzrlt --rsh=ssh --protocol=28 latest ${SERVER}:/tools/
{code}

If you create them during an SFTP connection to the server, the links will be *absolute file paths* which won't resolve on the web, rather than *relative paths* which are the same in the file structure AND on the web. I can point you to the servicedesk/eng-ops tickets about this if you need proof.

> for some reason https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-documentation/pull/48 removed the latest link assuming latest is used to point to the nightly build.
> That is not what it is for.
> It is to point to the latest docs made available.
> This link (before: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/latest/) was used to point to the last latest documentation.
> I believe this should be put back since this is how other docs refer to the latest version.
> We could even go so ar to create a docs.jboss.org/tools/4.0, docs.jboss.org/tools/3.3 etc. folder each with their /latest link in them.
> Latest links are trivial to make with sftp as part of the release upload anyway thus should be all possible to script if it is too cumbersome to remember.
