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

At this point I would probably vote for rejecting this. The time penalty is very big and if we only included 2 versions, then it would be hard to justify exactly which 2. Also, even with this the remediation page is shown which we hoped to avoid.

> 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 :)
