[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15788) Download runtime wizard shouldn't complain if install folder doesn't exist

[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15788?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12926664#comment-12926664 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-15788:
---------------------------------------

OK. One more comment: I'm not particularly happy with the approach here. The usual workflow is that you enter a path and when you proceed (press next or finish or whatever) and the path does not exist, you are asked if you want to create it. For example the JBDS installer works this way and many other applications. I think it's better than to show this warning that we have now, especially when the information that the directory will be created for you is somewhat hidden. But this is just my opinion :) WDYT?

> If the install folder is missing, the download runtime wizard should cope with it, instead of displaying an error (i.e. create the missing folders when necessary)
> - assert no EAP/AS7 are installed
> - create a new html5 project from central
> - click download and install for the server requirement
> - enter a non-existing location for the install folder
