Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-20024:
------------------------------------

Renaming is definitely better since old links to the ID will still work and it means less work for whoever gets saddled with the manual copy-and-paste keywhackery. #wishThereWasAnAPI

That said, the links for the marketplace entries for this last Beta use the content/name instead of node/ID:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-website/blob/master/_config/products.yml#L526

So, here's a PR to fix that: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-website/pull/431

[~maxandersen] when you said "But yes, lets create a new JBoss Tools and Developer Studio entry and get them under one."

Do you mean you want TWO new entries (or ideally, just two renamed ones), or that we should COMBINE the existing JBoss Tools and Developer Studio entries into a SINGLE one? 

I'm going to assume you meant "But yes, [let's] create a *[pair of]* new JBoss Tools and Developer Studio *[entries]* and get [all the old versions merged] under one [connector for JBT and one for JBDS]."

Do you agree that renaming is better and that you want TWO merged entries [JBoss Tools, Devstudio], not just ONE [JBoss Tools + Devstudio] ?
