             Summary: DevSuite 1.4 Installer indicate download size during choice selection
                 Key: JBDS-4410
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4410
             Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: installer
         Environment: DevSuite 1.4 installer, Windows 10 Pro/64
            Reporter: Robert Terzi
            Priority: Minor


During the software selection phase the DevSuite 1.4 installer should indicate the approximate size of the download.   The download size is shown during actual installation progress, but by that time it's too late.

The two use cases I see for this:
# A minishift/CDK user that is looking to try OpenShift might not want to download and install all of JBoss.  Seeing the size of it ahead of time, would avoid some shock later.
# When trying to decide between enabling Hyper-V or installing VirtualBox, knowing the size might influence the user to just enable Hyper-V.

Note: I think I filed a bug against a previous version that the installer provides No estimate of the required disk space in order to proceed.  Doesn't look like it is still open.
