Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-20993:
---------------------------------------------

I saw it before but thought it was a failed cross publish since some jira mentioned that had occurred.

Didn't connect the dots before talking with [~dgolovin] which was mentioning how confusing download.jboss.org
continues to be, even after we cleaned up for this latest GA.

Thus it is not under the covers, it is misleading.

I thus suggest to please remove it asap since nothing in our system should rely on v9 or v10 for tools.jboss.org - that is simply just wrong.

About having ability to share scripts - I don't follow why it is a problem that you just have one property/variable that is called "stream" (for example) which on jbds is set to <something>/9.0 and <something>/10.0 then in scripts the *only* think you worry about is what the value of "stream" is. Nothing should have to care about it being either neon, mars, 9.0 or 10.0 - no meaning should be giving to this besides "stream".

If such things exist today, please point to it to explain, otherwise please remove it on download.jboss.org.

About having neon/mars on devstudio.redhat.com - that is definitely much better since it is not conflicting terms; but why create this redundancy of urls when (at least from my POV) there should never be anything that need to know what specific stream we are referring to outside a "stream" variable ?

> while discussing download.jboss.org with [~dgolovin] we found 
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/9.0/
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/10.0/
> These look to be links to mars and neon.
> This is mixing in devstudio versioning with jbosstools which is just really confusing. 
> No idea what they are for and I haven't seen/noticed any mails or jiras about introducing a new versioning scheme.
> I suggest we delete these ASAP since download.jboss.org is already utterly overloaded with different schemes.
