Alternately, if for whatever reason you'd prefer to stick with RHEL and
have a small amount of $$ to spend:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/developers/jboss_developer_studio.html
Is a good option. No support, but full access to updates.
You could also easily switch over to a full support entitlement if you
needed support on the system later.
Nothing wrong with the CentOS route of course. :)
