Brian Fitzpatrick commented on JBTIS-654:
-----------------------------------------

Yes, that's kind of what we're going for I think. One installer is JBDS + JBDSIS to simplify that down to one step. And it would be great to have a second installer that includes JBDS + JBDSIS + a Fuse server as well. 

I understand Lars' concern that the second one will be huge - the installer without the runtime right now is already nearly 1 gig (972,159 KB). I'm sure it will be well over a gigabyte with the runtime included. 

But as you say - "Some users like it simply to work when installed." 

I think that as an evaluator, having the whole enchilada just download and install at once would be exactly what I'm looking for. That doesn't mean that EVERY user is going to want to go that route. And it doesn't mean that it's the only runtime we support. It just means they have a single point to download, install, and try our stuff out.

Space is fairly cheap I would hope. I do worry about testing time with QE, but if we can automate that as much as possible I'd hope that QE would see less impact with regular releases.

So Paul, would it be possible to have a tooling-only installer and a tooling-plus-runtime installer?

> Establish a stand-alone installer for JBDSIS that will contain JBDS and will enable easier installation of JBDSIS components - specifically Fuse Tooling.  This Jira is specifically related to the JBDSIS installer.  Other usability issues will be handled in other Jira.
> Installation scenario:
> {code}
> 1. If you don't already have one installed, you will need to download and install Oracle or Open JDK 8.  (make sure you have Java 1.8 installed)
> 2. Download the JBDSIS installer jar.  i.e. wget https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/snapshots/updates/integration-stack/9.0.0.Beta1/jboss-devstudio-is-installer-9.0.0.Beta1-proto.jar
> 3. Double-click the installer file to run it, or open a terminal and type `java -jar /path/to/installer-*.jar`
> 4. Select 'JBoss Fuse Development' from the 'Select Additional Features to Install' installer window.
> 5. Accept/ respond 'Yes' and restart
> 6. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Fuse Integration
