> Currently, discovery urls are defined at build time and require modifying eclipse.ini or jbdevstudio.ini for each release. This is often error prone / annoying.
> [~maxandersen] came up with the following idea :
> make all these URLs (and others if applicable) defined in one place, that we can update remotely.
> So a remote properties file would contain the urls per project/product and per version. 
> If we have foo|devstudio|8.0.0.Beta2=bar then : 
> * devstudio 8.0.0.Beta2-123456-65432 will get bar. 
> * If no matching key/version is defined, then we'd look for foo|devstudio|8.0.0
> * then foo|devstudio|8.0
> * then foo|devstudio|8 
> * then foo|devstudio 
> * then foo
> That solution allows us to fine tune discovery urls per version if needed and doesn't require users/QE to mess with *.ini to test each milestone.
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/configuration/ide-config.properties would be the bundle resource master of all properties.
