--------------------------------

             Summary: Consider new installer packages
                 Key: JBDS-3087
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3087
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: installer
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Nick Boldt


Today we have two installers:

* Stand-alone Installer (504M)
* Installer with EAP (642M)

Both can be used for offline install, but both are large downloads.

When installing JBDS IS offline, a user must download several archives:
* JBDS installer jar (or update site zip)
* JBDS target platform zip
* JBDS IS zip

And, there's no "stub installer for online" which would simply fetch the content needed to do the install from the update site, making the installer a much smaller (initial) download footprint. 

Therefore Max has suggested that we might want to add two new installers, resulting in this list:

* Stand-alone Installer (504M)
* Installer with EAP (642M)
* Installer with Integration Stack (~750M)
* Stub Installer (~10M)
