Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3525:
----------------------------------

OK so I've found a workflow that seems to work.

1. Install JBDS 9.0.0.CR1 (from http://www.jboss.org/download-manager/file/jboss-devstudio-9.0.0.CR1-standalone_jar.jar as seen on http://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/ )
2. Install Arquillian 1.2.0.CR1 from https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/9.0.0.CR1/
3. After install & restart of JBDS, go to Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites and delete or disable the above CR1 site. Leave only the https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/stable/updates/ site enabled.
(this synthesizes having 9.0.0.CR1 and installing it from the older Central from CR1. There's another way to achieve this using -D flags but it requires more cold starts of JBDS.)

4. Now fire up Central and look for Arquillian. Yep, it's unavailable. 
5. So, check the box for *Enable Early Access*. Still unavailable? 
6. Now, check the box for *Show installed*. Voila! It's available and installable.

Alternate method (didn't try this but it should work if you don't like the above method):

1. Install JBDS 9.0.0.CR1 (from http://www.jboss.org/download-manager/file/jboss-devstudio-9.0.0.CR1-standalone_jar.jar as seen on http://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/ )
2. Add these to your jbdevstudio.ini or use them on the commandline when launching JBDS:
{code}
-Djboss.discovery.directory.url=https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/9.0.0.CR1/devstudio-directory.xml
-Djboss.discovery.site.url=https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/9.0.0.CR1/
-Djboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.url=https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/9.0.0.CR1/{code}
3. Install Arquillian 1.2.0.CR1 from Central using the -D flag settings above. 
4. Instead of restarting when prompted, shut down JBDS and remove the above -D flags to revert to normal /stable/ settings and to see the latest updates from JBDS 9.0.0.CR1 -> GA.
5. Now fire up Central and look for Arquillian. Yep, it's unavailable. 
6. So, check the box for *Enable Early Access*. Still unavailable? 
7. Now, check the box for *Show installed*. Voila! It's available and installable.

This feels like a workflow bug since you shouldn't be notified of available updates, but then have Central hide those updates from you until you explicitly *Show installed*. 

[~mickael_istria] [~fbricon] [~akazakov] WDYT? Something we should change in JBDS 9.x?
