Provide a single downloadable install archive (without any repository references)

For environments where download access is managed more strictly, it could be helpful to provide Liberty Tools bundled along with its prerequisites in a single JAR archive.

Some questions:

UPDATES

Could this affect the visibility of the upstream dependencies with respect to updates? E.g. could it possibly be the case that by taking control of the content more directly via our feature installs the associated update sites are no longer visible within a "Check for Updates" operation?

If so, this would not necessarily cause any real world impact, the repository refs we have currently:

• <repository-reference location="https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones/1.5.0/repository" enabled="true" />
• <repository-reference location="https://download.eclipse.org/lsp4mp/releases/0.5.0/repository" enabled="true" />
• <repository-reference location="https://download.eclipse.org/lsp4jakarta/releases/0.1.0/repository" enabled="true" />

are not URLs likely to receive updates. They're not 'latest' type of release URLS. So maybe this doesn't matter but would be helpful to generally understand.

LEGAL/METADATA

Does this affect any legal/metadata description we need to provide?

Start by reviewing how the current feature installs package prerequisites and declare the listed repository-reference entries. Investigate whether a single JAR would preserve update visibility and what legal or metadata descriptions it would require. Done means the archive format, update behavior, and metadata requirements are defined clearly enough to implement.
