Important
Steps to repro:
1. http://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/ -> click link for "Installer Jar (Stand-alone)" -> http://www.jboss.org/download-manager/file/jboss-devstudio-8.0.0.Beta1-standalone_universal-standalone_jar.jar
2. Download begins and I get this page:
Resulting file when downloaded is:
jbdevstudio-product-universal-8.0.0.Beta1-v20140408-2350-B93.jar (64 characters long)
But the link on the download page was for:
jboss-devstudio-8.0.0.Beta1-standalone_universal-standalone_jar.jar (67 characters long)
Why are we "shortening" these URLs? Why provide a different filename on one page vs. what the user actually gets? Feels like bait-and-switch. Mostly it's just confusing:
Did I get the right file?
Where did all that "v20140408-2350-B93" come from?
Why are they making me relive my Star Wars Episode I nightmares? (jar.jar)
Lulz aside, I would prefer to just see the full URL of the file on the download pages' links, since those are the same URLs that appear in the CSP. Consistency = win.
Note too that the file name convention has changed as of Beta2 - for details, see JBIDE-16871
