[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20453) Instead of 4 zips, merge Central+TP and EA+TP into 2 composite repos for easier offline use (similar to what we had for JBDS 8)

Thus:

https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/snapshots/updates/
https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/staging/updates/
https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/ (TODO left for when we're releasing CR1)

which I assume implies this is where I should go look and see the result of this now resolved jira but I still see 4 different zips here so not sure what the actual suggested result is ?

Should it not just be main tools updatesite.zip (which is our components + Central + TP) and then *one* zip download for Earlyaccess (which you probably view as EA+ additional TP) ? 

Or do you really imply that we will duplicate the same TP into both Earlyaccess and Central ? 

Is that really necessary ?

> 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.
