Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-15053:
-------------------------------------

Why exactly is this a blocker, Fred? Can you please provide a use case?

Currently the point of a download runtime is to represent a runtime that the tooling can download. It is not intended to display runtimes that cannot be downloaded, as that completely violates the point. 

This would require additional UI, possibly additional API, and other unknown enhancements. So a usecase for why this is a blocker is definitely required this close to GA.

> 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.
