More refactorings I missed on Sunday night:

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-devdoc/pull/82
https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-website/pull/99
https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-website/pull/100

[~mmalina] Re: changing the installation folder,  I'll hold off on that change for the moment for a few reasons:

a) Max is AFK, and will want to vet/veto this idea

b) long paths for Windows users (80% of our user base) = bad news, especially considering how long some file paths can get already within Eclipse workspaces

c) short paths for Windows (c:\jbdevstudio) & long paths for everyone else ~/jboss-devstudio) would be ill-advised from a documentation and cross-platform user experience

So, either we stick w/ jbdevstudio, or we shorten to devstudio (losing the "jb" branding fragment). If we move to "jboss-devstudio" we increase the path by only 4 characters.

 [~maxandersen] WDYT?

>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.2.Final
>            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
>            Assignee: Nick Boldt
>            Priority: Blocker
>             Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta2

>
> URLs should avoid any uppercasing if possible, but since our most recent release versions are 7.1.1.GA and 4.1.2.Final (notice the uppercases) that part should stay.
> But rest of our updatesite urls and zips should start aligning to use same naming convention.
> Not "JBossTools-Updatesite" when it should be "jbosstools-updatesite"
> or "jbosstools-Sources.zip" when it should be "jbosstools-sources.zip".
