[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17002) Add Java 8 connector (JDT/WTP/M2E) in Central for JBT 4.1.2

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17002?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nick Boldt resolved JBIDE-17002.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Because it was determined that having to rebuild the whole Central target platform for this tiny add-on was a bit of overhead we didn't want to incur. Also, it would have potentially exposed these features to JBDS users, and this patch was deemed to be required for JBT users ONLY.

So the options at the time were:

a) spawn a different Central TP for JBT vs. for JBDS (today they're the same)
b) keep the new connector's update site separate from the JBT/JBDS Central TP site

> We decided to provide an easy way for JBT users to install Java 8 support in Eclipse Kepler SR2 in 1 click, instead of have to chase the update sites for JDT, M2e and WTP.
