             Summary: Add API so that downloaded runtimes can be installed via java -jar command
                 Key: JBIDE-19574
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19574
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: runtime-detection, server
    Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Alpha1
            Reporter: Rob Stryker


Runtime detection currently supports only 'extraction' as a method of installation. It was recently expanded to include not just unzipping of jars, but also extracting .tar.gz files / .tar files / etc.   But there's still no API for completely alternate methods of installation. 

This JIRA should add an extension point for (basically the plumbing) to allow for alternate installation types in general, as well as add a default java -jar installation method as well. 

It will be up to other runtimes (ie teiid etc) to USE this functionality in their own products, but it is up to jbt-base to make sure it is feasible at the API level.
