Radim Hopp commented on JBIDE-18819:
------------------------------------

I'm ok with this solution for 8.0.1, but for other versions (8.1, 9.0) wouldn't be better to leave the null check in place and when getJBossDiscoveryDirectory() returns null prompt some other error message?
Now, the error message suggests user to check internet connection, but as I understand this, getJBossDiscoveryDirectory() could only return null when jboss.discovery.directory.url property is not set (meaning ide-config.properties was loaded, but does not contain jboss.discovery.directory.url for given version of JBT/JBDS). Thus internet is working but something wrong happened on ide-config.propertis side (our side).
