This got me confused until I realized what you meant. So let me rephrase that ;)
This bug is not likely to affect anybody right now, but it's still quite easy to replicate ;)

> I was playing around JBIDE-17601 - that JIRA is about the bug that JBoss.org credentials were not validated when you went through new archetype from central -> Download & Install. So you could enter anything and it would let you carry on. But once the real download is about to start, you will get a popup to enter the credentials again (since the downloader needs the correct password). Even if you now enter the correct credentials, it will ask you 2 more times and then fail on Incorrect password.
> Yes, this will be less likely to happen once JBIDE-17601 is fixed. But I suppose that the popup is in place exactly for the situation when the password needs to be corrected, so it should work, right?
> There may still be a valid use case to hit this issue (although a very rare case):
> 1. User starts the runtime download dialog, enters correct credentials, moves to license
> 2. User changes his password on jboss.org
> 3. User carries on in the dialog to actually start the download - now he will probably be asked to correct his credentials
> So in my opinion, if we already have a mechanism to ask for credentials again, then it should work. If you say this is not needed, then why even allow the popup?
