[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2768?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12823634#comment-12823634 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-2768:
----------------------------------

Issues w/ current HTML pages and scripts, from @maxandersen 's POV:
{quote}hardcoded paths, manual tweaking needed and too many options and no simply walkthrough{quote}

So, which of the various install paths would make the most sense as the single approach?

* install from JBDS installer.jar to default location like ~/jbdevstudio-name-of-the-jar
* install from JBDS installer.jar or JBDS update site zip into existing Eclipse 4.3 Kepler using "BYOE" (JBoss Developer Studio Core Features) feature
* install from installer jar + some other site(s) to create a single Eclipse instance containing JBDS + additional tooling?

[~mmusaji], WDYT? What do users need most? A single solution (if so, which one?), or a pair of tools & a collection of examples showcasing the various ways to perform a headless JBDS install?

Is it just "how do I install from the installer.jar w/o having to click through the UI?" ?

> Currently availability of scripts is listed on community site:
> https://www.jboss.org/tools/download/installation/update_4_1#fromscript
> And that links to instructions on community site:
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/scripted-installation/JBDS/
> Given that the instructions are for JBDS, the sites should be devstudio sites. For example, availability stated here:
> https://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/7.0.0.GA.html
> And linking to scripts on same base URL.
> If we want to have scripts on community site then they should only be for headless JBT install.
