             Summary: Consider removing update site zips from jboss.org/tools
                 Key: JBIDE-15335
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15335
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: updatesite
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final, 4.0.1.Final
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen


Based on anecdotal evidence, it would appear that JBT 4.x is downloaded MANY MORE TIMES from Eclipse Marketplace than from jboss.org/tools:

As of 2013-08-12 12:48pm:
* Download stats from jboss.org/tools/stable/4_1: 378 + 140 zip downloads [Core + Hibernate Tools zips] = 518
* Install stats from Eclipse Marketplace for 2013/08: 3678 installs (7.1x as many)
* Download stats from jboss.org/tools/stable/4_0: 2441 + 899 zip downloads [Core + Hibernate Tools zips] = 3340
* Install stats from Eclipse Marketplace for 2013/04 - 2013/08: 11280 + 10421 + 9552 + 6246 + 1635 installs = 39134 (11.7x as many)

So, is it time to stop providing a zip of the JBT update site? Seems like very few users want JBT delivered that way.
