...How to automatically install JBoss Developer Studio 8 + Integration Stack

As I usually install JBDS and the Integration Stack several times in my machine or in virtual environments, I ended up creating a script to automate the installation process. There are two variants of the scripts, one forJBDS 7 and another for JBDS 8.

This script only requires that you have JBoss Developer Studio downloaded (as it is a protected download) and in the same location as the script, and it will then:

• Install JBDS in the location you specify
• Configure Java Runtime to use
• Install JBoss Integration Stack (Full install of Integration tools)

To execute the script just run:

$ ./install.sh

These are the default values that will be used for the installation:

• JBDS_BINARY - Current value=jboss-devstudio-8.0.0.GA-v20141020-1042-B317-installer-standalone.jar
• INSTALL_PATH - Current value=/tmp/jbdevstudio
• JAVA_HOME - Current value=/usr/java/latest

And can be specified, either by modifying the script (not recommended) or by setting the values in the shell, either exporting them:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jvm/java7
$ export INSTALL_PATH=/home/jmorales/jbdevstudio8
$ ./intall.sh

Or in the same line:

$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/jvm/java7 INSTALL_PATH=/home/jmorales/jbdevstudio8 ./intall.sh

Now what is left is:

1. Update automatically from JBDS 8 to JBDS 8.0.1 (Only available as update site)
2. Update automatically the Integration Stack
3. Install only the IS parts you want (SwitchYard for example)
