             Summary: NeedInfo: Offline availability
                 Key: TOOLSDOC-335
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-335
             Project: Documentation for JBoss Tools and Developer Studio
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: User Guide - JBoss Central & JBoss Perspective
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0
            Reporter: Michelle Murray
            Assignee: Michelle Murray
             Fix For: 4.1.0


The ERD has items about making projects and archetypes (are they the same thing?) available offline.

This is what I understand so far ...

At the moment:
* If offline then 'start from sample' quickstarts give 'no internet connectivity' warning so need to be online to use them (JBIDE-13987)
* If offline then 'start from scratch' wizards give maven repo error and just fail 
* User doesn't need to be online to install JBDS

In the future:
* Going to store project wizards offline in some way so user can still use when offline (JBDS-2556, JBDS-2535, JBDS-2543)
* Eventually will be a 'make central available offline' button to allow users to cache the wizards/quickstarts they need (JBDS-2552)
* If user doesn't have a plug-in installed, such as OpenShift Tools, wizard will still show in central but on clicking wizard user will be prompted to install necessary plug-in (JBIDE-13987) which will be available offline

Okay - so what have I got wrong? what further developments have there been? I want to get the progress so far documented in the user guide.
