             Summary: Allign bits offered in JBoss Central with installed version of JBDS
                 Key: JBDS-3360
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3360
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: central, updatesite
    Affects Versions: 8.0.2.GA
            Reporter: Martin Malina


The problem in JBDS-3359 shows a broader issue.
(That one is about issues when clicking on an example in Central in JBDS 8.0.0 when 8.0.2 has already been released and central points to it.)

Currently when you install JBDS 8.0.0, it will contain this update site in Preferences -> Available Software Sites:
https://devstudio.redhat.com/updates/8.0/

Initially this update site contained JBDS 8.0.0 core + 8.0.0 central.
But once we released JBDS 8.0.1, the update site was updated with 8.0.1 and this update was offered to users in Eclipse. And we started to have two groups of users:
1. Those who stayed on JBDS 8.0.0, but their Central already pointed to 8.0.1 bits
2. Those who update to JBDS 8.0.1 (and their Central also pointed to 8.0.1 bits)

Wouldn't it make more sense if central used the same version that is currently installed? I.e. if a user stays with JBDS 8.0.0, the bits offered in Central are 8.0.0 also.

I'm not sure if this is doable or makes sense at all, so I'm looking forward to feedback :)
