    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18806?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13022013#comment-13022013 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-18806:
---------------------------------------------

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-download.jboss.org/pull/461/files mentions that there seem to be an assumption that 8.0.1.CR1 would fall back on 8.0.0 it won't. The lookup sequence is as follows:

8.0.1.CR1
8.0.1
8.0
8

So two things are discovered in this:

1) that central is not failing gracefully when can't find a match - that should be fixed.
2) that it might make sense to have 8.0 (and 4.2) defined in the properties for development settings instead of 8.0.0 (and 4.2.0) then only for actual releases you go and set the values.

But #2 does really seem tedious. [~fbricon] is there a way to avoid these constant updates to ide.properties, it kinda defeats the purpose if we keep having to do this at *every* milestone.
