Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-18921:
------------------------------------

Actually we do, because it's embedded in org.eclipse.webtools code. Ok, sure, I could clone it, fork it, patch it, and then play with it, but why? Why not just push the one-line change upstream, let them built it into Mars M4, and THEN I can play with the contents of http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/webtools/

As to the fact that we're putting "completely untested" code into the stable URL, this is what we've done now for, oh, what, 4 years [1]? 

[1] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/webtools/ (note the sites for indigo, juno, kepler, & luna)

Possible other solutions:

a) ask WTP to change the URL closer to Mars GA (and have them forget like last year)
b) have a stable URL with no contents until we go GA, which means NO ONE using WTP 3.7 will see our server adapters until ~ October 2015
c) put the old 4.2.0.Final bits in there; replace them later as we release each 4.3.x milestone 
d) remove the word "stable" from the URL, which breaks with the conventions set forth in JBDS-3208, reverting to the old convention in [1]

> Need a semi-working placeholder (even if it's a weak first alpha or copy of JBT 4.2.0's site) so that WTP can resolve a valid site for server adapters.
> Content that needs to be copied is here:
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/static/updates/JBossTools-4.2.0.Final.webtools/ (or something newer?)
> Destination folder (new folder hierarchy as of JBDS-3208 reorg):
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/webtools/
> Upstream issue:
> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=454810
