[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4411) DevSuite 1.4 installer display required disk space

[Robert Terzi (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4411?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13452624#comment-13452624 ] 

Robert Terzi commented on JBDS-4411:
------------------------------------

If  the installed size data isn't available to the installer, use a multiplier  (2x to 3x?) of the download size for the disk space estimate. An estimate is better than nothing, at least the user is given some clue.

I'd say probably closer to 3x, based on the assumptions
# space for both the download and the installed copy are needed at least temporarily.
# download packages are compressed and the on disk installed size will be larger than the download size.

> DevSuite 1.4 installer (online) should display the disk space requirements which should include the calculation for both the downloads and the unpacked/installed files. 
> As a user, 
> I would like to know the disk space required to complete the installation before starting
> so that I have an idea whether the installation can be completed successfully.
