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

I did not answer anything about ant or maven scripting. I gave examples of variable declaration in general - this issue applies to both maven, shell and ant etc.  

And no, the same issue apply to devstudio.redhat.com.

Reasons why having 10.0 on devstudio and neon on download.jboss.org is a Good Thing:

#1 It is very clear if some publishing went wrong. If 10.0 shows up on download.jboss.org or neon on devstudio.redhat.com we know something got messed up.

#2 You do not need to have the full hostname to know what kind of deployment we are looking at.

#3 10.0 is the actual version of the product so it has a much clearer meaning to users than Neon. Yes, you could argue then
we should use version numbers on jboss tools community - but then see reason #1

And no matter if we use maven, ant or shell - none of this matters if the abstraction in property names are which release stream are being referenced, as opposed to devstudioVersion or eclipseBase.

So in short - no advantages to having the exact same for this base path (I 100% agree the further sub paths which we constantly publish/update are good to have aligned), but at lest 3 advantages to have a different base path.

> 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.
