[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3360) Align bits offered in JBoss Central with installed version of JBDS

[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3360?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13045184#comment-13045184 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBDS-3360:
-------------------------------------

My idea was that until you move from JBDS 8.0.0 to 8.0.2 (for example), you should be able to stay in the past with all the functionality - including installation of extra features from Central.
But Max is right that this probably doesn't work like that in RHEL either - yum always offers the latest in the stream.
So I suppose this will be rejected.
Unless somebody wants to push the other thing:

Something that could be considered though is that we don't remove 8.0.0 content from the updatesites, but instead put both 8.0.0, 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 content so users at least manually can do updates.

> 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 :)
