(2015-08-13 16:42:39) akazakov: nickboldt, you want to have the same zips (Central zip in jboss.org and Central ZIP + EA zip in https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/staging/updates/) and we had for JBDS 8. The content will be the same. But you changed the way update sites and zips are built. You had to do it to fix JBIDE-19336. Central update sites does not include staff included in JBT/JBDS update sites. But you merge everything you need when building zips. Not update sites.
(2015-08-13 16:42:56) akazakov: nickboldt, correct?
(2015-08-13 16:44:30) nickboldt: akazakov: correct, the only thing affected here are the ZIPs of the update sites, which are then used to produce JBDS (need TestNG in the installer, pulled from Central zip). the raw update sites (not zipped) arent' changed here
(2015-08-13 16:44:58) nickboldt: we could do that as well - would make the composite sites slightly simpler
(2015-08-13 16:45:25) nickboldt: but that's a change I'd prefer to do in 9.1 since it doesn't impact performance or offline experience. it's not a regression
(2015-08-13 16:45:38) akazakov: nickboldt, then I +1 to fix it in CR1{quote}

> 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.
