Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-2797:
-------------------------------------------

had chat with [~dgolovin] on this and it seems to boil down to use trying to have a OSX friendly name in the dock - no other reason for it and a symbolic link is not sufficient since the app generated will still say jbdevstudio.

Thus there are two options afaics:

1) go back to only use jbdevstudio 

2) make separate build for osx where this is fixed.

#2 is definitely not for 7.1, #1 is a better option here.

This would mean the installer should stop doing all this magic and the next installer simply won't generate this "JBoss Developer Studio.app" but only have jbdevstudio.app

If we don't do that osx users will not actually get the proper full updates which is bad.

That just leaves the central url pointing to development site, are we saying this happend just because the user installed an even earlier version of devstudio and thus got the default before GA ? that would need to get release noted to then that they need to stop using this broken launcher if they installed older versions.

> 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 ?
