Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-17808:
----------------------------------------
Upcoming implementation will rely on a file listing IUs that we know are Early Access
(ID/version-range list).
A default file will be bundled somewhere in one of our plugins and a URL will be provided
to get updated versions of that file.
Some code in central will check whether installation contains one of the listed IUs in one
of the specified versions, and in case it finds one, then we know installation contains
Early Access stuff and we'll warn user.
Identify which installed IUs are from Early Access vs.
supported/tested versions

Key: JBIDE-17808
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17808
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: central
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Mickael Istria
Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1
[~maxandersen] brought up a good point on a call today:
we have no way from within JBDS of identifying which installed IUs were installed from
Early Access vs. those what were installed from Central or another "supported"
location.
Thus we need some sort of UI to list installed IUs that are "Early Access".
This could be... (brainstorming now):
* a text file with the list of things installed from Early Access (features and plugins)
* a set of asterisks added to the Help > About dialogs when browsing for installed
features / plugins
* a way to filter the plugin view (Help > About) to show only EA content (or exclude
it)
* ... ?
