             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: installer
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta2

To better support the BYOE scenario and be more easily able to update pieces of JBDS w/o having to update the product, we could consider adding installMode="root" to the JBDS "Core Features" feature so it can be installed in parallel to the JBDS "Branded Product" feature, rather than as its child [1].

We could further do this with other parts of JBDS, but I suspect we don't want to do that as it would allow users to update individual parts of the JBT underlayers piecemeal, rather than as one big update.
