[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3517) Need better doc on using Central zip (online/offline modes) [was: Early access zip not working offline]

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3517?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13109436#comment-13109436 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3517:
----------------------------------

Currently there is some doc for using the Central zip, but it's not very formal. There is *no* mention of the EA zip because it's not in CSP and is therefore not previously been a "fully-supported" archive. 

Do we want it to be supported?

1. doc on the 9.0 update site pages, such as https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/snapshots/updates/ (see right-hand column):

{code}
Offline Install
Looking for an offline solution? You can perform an update using these zips:
*    Update Site Zip
*    Target Platform Zip (dependencies)

For offline installs from Central:
*    Central Update Site Zip
*    Early Access Update Site Zip
{code}

To install from Central in a completely offline mode, you need 3 zips. To install from EA, you need 4 zips.

2. There's also doc in the CSP for the Central zip. 

https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/softwareDetail.html?softwareId=38863&product=jbossdeveloperstudio&version=9.0.0+Beta2&downloadType=distributions

If there is additional doc needed, let me know what you need and I can write something. Also need to know WHERE you want it documented. tools.jboss.org? devdoc? devstudio.redhat.com? access.redhat.com?

Note: there are no mentions of the Central zip here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/9.0/html/Install_Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/index.html
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/9.0/html/Update_Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/index.html
