Mickael Istria commented on JBDS-3085:
--------------------------------------
Do we already allow to update between 8.0.0.GA and 8.1.0 in any way? if so, I think we already have answers for b and c.
Some thoughts that make that thing complicated from a Central POV:
* We'd need 2 different entries for in the catalog: 1 for installer and one for BYOB, as installer containes 1 extra-IU (the branded product) that we don't want in BYOE. Then we'd need to filter out one or the other depending on the target application (JBDS or Eclipse)
* Since we'd still want the original feature, we'd need a "Downgrade" or "Restore" operation, as we don't want to uninstall JBDS.
So this request would introduce new concepts that are not already available, it's not just a matter of adding a new JBDS to catalog.

> This was supposedly in the original scope for the creation of a Early Access site, but I never saw that. So, in order to get some eyeballs on this idea, and to get buy-in from QE/doc/dev/PM/PgM/PL, I'm cc:'ing some people here so we can discuss the cons and cons of this idea.

> (Aside: has anyone noticed that there's an plethora of people with "M" names on this team?)
> Things to consider:
> a) what happens if an 8.0.0.GA user suddenly finds they've updated to an Alpha or Beta release? Can they uninstall? (Probably not, if they started with the installer; probably yes if they started from BYOE / Marketplace.)
> b) how will GSS support these "I was on GA but not I'm on Beta" users?
> c) What about project examples that might / might not be compatible between 8.0 and 8.x, eg., because of changes in Eclipse Luna or a new default runtime (EAP 6.3, 6.4) ?
> d) what could possibly go wrong?
