----------------------------------------

[~supriya.bharadwaj], the beginning seems a bit repetitive:

This article provides details for new and existing JBoss Developer Studio users who need to configure a fresh install of JBoss Developer Studio or upgrade the versions of JBoss EAP or JBoss Web Framework Kit in use.

And a bit later:

A. Download, Install and Set Up JBoss Developer Studio and JBoss EAP using a Single Installer
Note: If you want to install a different JBoss EAP version, you must first install JBoss Developer Studio and then you can download, install, and set up JBoss EAP from within the IDE as detailed later.
 - this is not true. There is no such requirement that you must install JBDS first and only then you can get the EAP binary. Instead, I would put it this way:

Note: If you want to install a different JBoss EAP version, you can either download it from within the IDE (see B.) or install it separately and then follow the instructions in C.

And now we get to the subject of this JIRA - instructions about the online maven repo: I'm sorry, but I find it confusing. You have this:

Alternatively, you can use the online repository by selecting redhat-ga-repository in the drop down menu in the Add Maven Repository dialog, in the Profile ID field. This will add https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga to your settings.xml taking care of all the dependencies.

But this belongs to the instructions on how to configure offline maven repo, not to the previous paragraph - Specify Maven settings.xml File Location. So at least put this information in the correct place. But maybe it would be better start from the beginning saying that there are two options - either set up a downloaded maven repo, or set up the online repo.

> In TOOLSDOC-499 it was mentioned that we have a guide that explains how to add jboss enterprise maven repositories, but it would be nice to also mention the alternative of using the online repo.

> Alternatively, you can use the online repository: In the Add Maven Repository dialog, in the Profile ID field at the top, select "redhat-techpreview-all-repository" in the drop down menu. This will add http://maven.repository.redhat.com/techpreview/all/ to your settings.xml and that should satisfy the dependencies.
