    Description

      1. Need to replace hardcoded variable

              private static final String JBOSS_DISCOVERY_DIRECTORY_3_3_0_XML = "http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/jbosstools-directory.xml"; // published URL

      with value in plugin.properties. This will allow the plugin to be "fixed" when releasing it to point at a different URL.

      2. Need to allow passing in the URL as a commandline variable at build-time so that we can have the same code overridden when built in stable branch for a milestone vs. in trunk.

      This could be done via Maven calling Ant in the pom.xml to do a simple XSLT on the build.properties file. (If you can't figure out another way, assign this part to me and I'll do this – already have 80% of the code for such a transform in place.) This would allow overrides to be set in the parent/pom.xml or via commandline -D flags.

      3. We could also set 4 variables in the plugin.properties file (for the 4 possible URLs) and have the -D flag be a simple switch between GA, milestone, nightly stable, and nightly trunk, without having to actually state the URL via the commandline.
