[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2456) JBDS should be buildable from source zip (or at least document the limitations)

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2456?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12753333#comment-12753333 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-2456:
----------------------------------

IzPack is no longer included in SVN, and can be fetched from http://dist.codehaus.org/izpack/releases/

p2-director.zip should also be replaced by remote fetch but need to find where the zip lives. 

Closest thing I've found is:

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/eclipse/tycho/tycho-standalone-p2-director/0.16.0/tycho-standalone-p2-director-0.16.0.zip

which is sourced from:

https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/tree/master/tycho-bundles/tycho-standalone-p2-director

However, it does NOT include an executable so would need to be run from <java> instead of <exec> in product/installer/src/config/install-pack-universal.xml

> As reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12807472/how-build-jboss-developer-studio-from-source/ it would be nice if one could build JBDS from the sources zip. [~mmurray] reports that it sort of works but izPack is missing:
> {quote}it failed to find the devstudio/product/installer/IzPack-4.3.4.zip{quote}
> It should be noted that JBT can be built from github sources (but I don't think we've ever tried to build it from the source zip either).
