Reading this it is like 85% of a blog about this new feature.

Nick/Mickael - anyone of you up for writing a blog on this to come out 
in the days after beta2 announcement ?

> Some of you may have noticed we've been working to reorganize JBoss
> Central so as to be able to present Early Access features in Central,
> well before they're ready for GA.
>
> This is for two purposes:
>
> a) to allow us to include experimental third-party content in JBoss
> Developer Studio, like VJET or AngularJS, which would otherwise have 
> to
> wait a couple years incubating in JBoss Tools.
>
> b) to provide a way to include pre-release Integration Stack tooling 
> in
> a GA release of JBoss Tools or Developer Studio, rather than forcing
> those features to have to go GA before they can be accessed via 
> Central.
>
> The new UI provides a checkbox at the bottom of the connector list in
> Central, which when enabled will show you three (3) Early Access 
> connectors:
>
> * Eclipse VJET (the latest nightly build; formerly in Central as an
> "Experimental" connector)
> * JBoss Tools Arquillian (the latest milestone build; formerly only in
> JBoss Tools)
> * Angular JS for Eclipse Web Tools (the latest nightly/snapshot build; 
> new)
>
> If you have questions or concerns, here are some JIRAs on which you 
> can
