[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20453) Instead of 4 zips, merge Central+TP and EA+TP into combined repos for easier offline use

[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20453?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13098155#comment-13098155 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-20453:
---------------------------------------

Why it is suddenly a blocker? It was this way for a while and I don't remember any complaint about downloading offline zips. 
It looks rather a New Feature to me and something we should not add in CR1 release.
Also it raises several questions about affected dependencies:
What documentation is affected and should be updated?
What QA tests are affected?
What about jbdevstudio-product/results changes?

Isn't it too many changes for CR1?

For me it is
-1

> Today the offline solution [1], [2] for installing stuff from Central or Early Access requires a pair of zips: the 3rd party content (target platform), and the stuff from JBoss Tools.
> [1] http://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/ (Central Zip doesn't include the JBT stuff, just the 3rd party / TP content)
> [2] https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/staging/updates/ (both zips shown)
> We should combine these into a single, larger zip, such that the offline solution requires only a single zip and there's no confusion about what a Central Zip is.
