-------------------------------------
[~nickboldt], yeah, you're right, I guess it's only logical to change those, too. This is getting complicated ;)

> Now that Nick changed the installer filenames to jboss-devstudio in JBIDE-16871 (was jbdevstudio), shouldn't the default install path be changed similarly? Because it just went out of sync.
> This question is open for discussion. Nick pointed out some reasons against this suggestion:

> Martin Malina Re: changing the installation folder, I'll hold off on that change for the moment for a few reasons:
> a) Max is AFK, and will want to vet/veto this idea
> b) long paths for Windows users (80% of our user base) = bad news, especially considering how long some file paths can get already within Eclipse workspaces
> c) short paths for Windows (c:\jbdevstudio) & long paths for everyone else ~/jboss-devstudio) would be ill-advised from a documentation and cross-platform user experience
> So, either we stick w/ jbdevstudio, or we shorten to devstudio (losing the "jb" branding fragment). If we move to "jboss-devstudio" we increase the path by only 4 characters.
> Max Rydahl Andersen WDYT?
