...but I have to reopen this anyway because it does not work very well.
When you try to download e.g. EAP 6.1, you get the the last page of the dialog:
!eap-download.png!

Why are the Install and Download folders even there when you have to download it manually via browser? It's confusing. And also, with other servers you expect the tooling to download it for you - this dialog looks no different - the user should be told that he needs to download manually by clicking the link, it's not obvious.

And if I actually click the link, I land on access.redhat.com login page, I log in and am told that I don't have permission to download that software.
But if I go to http://www.jboss.org/jbossas and click the right-hand side banner, EAP 6.1 starts downloading immediately.

This last thing may actually deserve its own JIRA since this JIRA is about supporting such downloads at all. If you feel that way, feel free to ask for another JIRA. But the other points are relevant here I believe.

> EAP runtimes defined in stacks don't show up as download runtimes. They don't have a download url but have a human readable url. As in JBDS 6 (in central), they should appear as a valid choice and display the human url so the user can manually go and install the runtime.
> I also noticed that if the download url is missing the download runtime wizard refuses to finish (url not valid error). It should close without any error.
