Michelle Murray commented on TOOLSDOC-594:
------------------------------------------

[~nickboldt] - thanks for raising this, looking to fix the 8.0 and 8.1 Install doc.

1) If users are installing JBDS 8.1 (Beta) offline and using the 8.1 update.zip from the customer portal, will they need the 8.0.0 tp.zip or a new 8.1.0 tp.zip?
2) I can add the links you've provided in the workaround field to the doc for now but I consider it a hack because it includes the filename and has to be updated for each release. Adding the tp.zip to the customer portal would resolve the hack. Is that going to happen?

> Title: Install JBoss Developer Studio BYOE when Offline
> Describe the issue:
> See JBDS-3361. User cannot install from JBDS zip alone because some eclipse dependencies are unavailable in that zip. 
>  
> Suggestions for improvement:
> TP zip should be linked from CSP, jboss.org, and devstudio.redhat.com.
> Doc (in CSP and on access.redhat.com) should tell users about the target platform zip, too.
