[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3567) Offline install instructions are very unclear

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13145840#comment-13145840 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3567:
----------------------------------

The groovy/maven stuff is to support using the JBoss Central Project Wizards when offline, as per the section title "1. Prepare for Using JBoss Central Project Wizards when Offline". These wizards require either the internet, or a local maven repo from which to install them.

As to where to get the Central zip, the instructions say, "The JBoss Central Site .zip file is available from the Red Hat Customer Portal and must be downloaded while you are online."

There is however a typo in the instructions:

"Click Add and click Archive to locate the JBoss Developer Studio .zip file." should be "Click Add and click Archive to locate the JBoss Central Site .zip file."

> I came across this - https://access.redhat.com/articles/1367643. I'm puzzled by the instructions on here and what this page is meant to do.
> Firstly there's no mention at all of downloading the ZIP from the CSP. https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?product=jbossdeveloperstudio&downloadType=distributions
> I don't know what the groovy stuff is meant to do, installing and setting up a local maven repo is not in the scope of a JBDS set up but I believe either way it's wrong for this page.
> Part 2 talks about "You can install the JBoss and third-party plug-ins listed in JBoss Central in offline mode using the JBoss Central Site .zip file" but then doesn't mention where to download these zips (CSP).
