[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3502) Instead of 4 zips, merge Central+TP and EA+TP into 2 zips for easier offline use (similar to what we had for JBDS 8)

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-3502:
-------------------------------------------

okey so i'm now less worried about the change but seems like we are mixing some concerns here.

One part of this is how the build works and its simpler to have a composite for central that composite both central content and whatever "TP" it needs.

The other is how the offline installs works and how many "zips" we give users.

Seems like we solved both now without changing how we aggregate so thats good; meaning we can update without having to rebuild the full thing.

> 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.
