--------------------------------------

> We could release an installer for JBDS 7.0.1... would that solve this problem?

It wouldn't be enough. Problem seems to happen when the update is performed. Releasing an installer wouldn't prevent people from updating.
It seems to me that the "laucher" part is not specific to JBDS. Can someone using Mac OS try the following:
# get Kepler SR0
# see content of launcher in eclipse.ini
# Run "Check for update" (ensure it installs Kepler SR1)
# Restart and check value of "launcher" in eclipse.ini.
Those values must be different. If they're not, it means that update mechanism is the culprit, if not, it means that it's specific to JBDS.

For the discovery site, I tend to think it's a JBDS bug, which might be independent of the OS.

> User noticed issues with 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 updates at https://community.jboss.org/message/841477#841477 that needs investigation.
> The post is about osx but I don't think this is limited to this OS, just that OSX has a different java behavior.
> Worrisome issues are:
> development url used in GA update:
> -Djboss.discovery.directory.url=https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0-development/devstudio-directory.xml
> startup/launcher directories are hardcoded in the .ini file:
> -startup
> ../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
> --launcher.library
> ../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
> Have these been forgotten/set wrong in the update or is this some specific update path that is failing ?
