[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12663927#comment-12663927 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-10264:
---------------------------------------------


"The Project Example wizard - project example choice (1) - JBoss Central doesn't need this page because project examples are shown in the Project Examples section of the JBoss Central editor"

ok - yes this like a Page "0", only for project examples.

"JBoss Central - details about "missing requirements" (2)"

Page 2
The Project Example wizard - details about "missing requirements" (2)"
JBoss Central - nothing

Page 3, 4, ...
project examples contributions (currently, only mavenArchetype would have those pages)
the last page
"open quickfix dialog" (4) - this page wouldn't be accessible until the user downloads/builds a project example

Yes - thus this is *after* the download have completed.

""open the readme.*" (5) can't be added to the wizard because it is opened in a separate view/editor"

This page is to be the last page of the wizard.

It should state "<xyz> have now been downloaded and ready to use. When you press Finish <file> will be open with further instructions."
 

""wait for download (can be put in background)" (3) - would be executed when the user clicks Finish"

No - download will have to happen before the project dependent content.

It would mean download start on Page 3(?) and if you choose to go in background and the job finishes the wizard will open up again starting from what would have been Page 4.



Will I contribute wizard pages necessary for the mavenArchetype project example?

> In the wake of JBIDE-9776 and JBIDE-10140, it turns out that, in order for us to contribute 5 new wizards to the "New " menu under the Jboss perspective and in the "New project" section of JBoss central, "project examples" based projects should be created via a Wizard implementation from the get go. 
> Current project examples workflow involves :
> - displaying a form dialog : to display missing runtimes and let the user install/download the required runtimes
> - launching a workspace job, which in turn : 
>   * downloads the example
>   * does the actual project import (launches a wizard for maven archetypes)
>   * resolve quickfixes
> Ideally, all these steps would be part of a single wizard, spanning one to N pages (depending on the complexity/requirements of the examples). Everything contributed by the form dialog would be replaced by a wizard page, which would bring consistency to the UI.
> In other words, that means the project example dialog needs to be refactored into a Wizard, providing an API so that client plugins can contribute wizard pages. 
> I'm aware this is not a simple task to refactor the existing workflow to such an infrastructure but ultimately, that would allow us to easily contribute new project wizards to the IDE in a standard way.
> Current target is 3.3.0.Beta1. Snjeza, WDYT?
