[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17002) Add Java 8 connector (JDT/WTP/M2E) in Central for JBT 4.1.2

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17002?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12961015#comment-12961015 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-17002:
----------------------------------------

* As URL for component overview, I'd recommend: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/java8/
* I believe the PDE feature should NOT be there, unless we encourage users of JBT or JBDS to create OSGi bundles, but I don't think that's the case. In some "light" installation that don't contain PDE, adding this feature will install PDE and pollute the UI.
* The category name "Patches" doesn't seem fun. What about having a category "Java 8" with the various features listed separately (JDT, WTP, m2e) ?

Adding [~mmurray], to get her more user-oriented feedback and because this is something that will probably require some documentation.

> We decided to provide an easy way for JBT users to install Java 8 support in Eclipse Kepler SR2 in 1 click, instead of have to chase the update sites for JDT, M2e and WTP.
> * JDT Feature patch : http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
> * M2E 1.4.1 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature) http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.4/1.4.1.20140328-1905
> * WTP Feature Patch : http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/patches/drops/R3.5.2/P-3.5.2-20140329045715/repository
> All 3 features should be available via a unique connector in JBoss Central > Software Updates
