[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)

Nick Boldt resolved JBDS-3502.
------------------------------
    Resolution: Done


Changes to 3rd party stuff (eg., the version of SpringIDE in Central) will require TWO builds to get a new zip for offline use:

https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-centraltarget_master/ [Central and EA TP builds]
http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-build-sites.aggregate.child-sites_master/ [Central and EA update site builds]

But if we're doing an "update only" change to Central's 3rd party stuff, then we need only rebuild the centraltarget job. This matches the policy of NOT rebuilding the installers for "update only" releases -- the live update sites may change, but the offline stuff is NOT rebuilt. And of course for releases where we DO have new installers, we would rebuild everything (JBT/JBDS targetplatforms, centraltarget, JBT aggregates (2), child-sites, discovery, installer), as we already do today.

> 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.
