[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3077) Update early access site for JBDS 8 changes

[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12978628#comment-12978628 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBDS-3077:
-------------------------------------

https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/overview/ doesn't have any statements about any java versions AFAICS.
The Getting Started page only talks about JBDS 7.1.1.
One thing that we could add though is release notes here:
https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/
EAP has it:  http://www.jboss.org/products/eap/download/
Want another JIRA for that?

Looking at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/red-hat-jboss-developer-studio-luna/, there seems to be a typo:
Includes the majority of JBoss Tools 4.2.0.Beta21

I can see that both the Marketplace entries say this:
JBoss Tools can run on Java 8.

Some could argue that we haven't really committed to that yet, but personally I'm fine with that. It's still a beta release.

> This page still needs some improvements:
> https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/8.0-development/
> Namely the column on the left.
> {quote}
> 1. If not already installed, download and install Oracle JDK or OpenJDK 7 (or 6).
> {quote}
> This is not true for JBDS 8. Probably should be just 7 for now?
> {quote}
> 3. To start the installer, double-click the installer file or open a command line and enter /path/to/java -jar jbdevstudio-*.jar
> {quote}
> We should change this to jboss-devstudio-*.jar
> Then we link to the script. Please check if it's still relevant.
> And finally this: Supported OS + JVM Combinations

>  - apparently this needs to be updated. As the Beta2 blog says [1] we now use HTML Preview for HTML5 which should work on most platforms. I'm not completely sure about this, it needs to be checked. 
> Also, there is now no 32-bit java on the mac anyway.
> Oh and I almost forgot: At the bottom of the page, there is this:
> Note: If you install JBoss Developer Studio updates into an existing Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) installation...
>  - needs to be updated to say "Eclipse 4.4 (Luna)"
