[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4339) DevSuite installer on Windows should ask for hostfolder details

DevSuite installer on Windows should ask for hostfolder details --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-4339 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4339 Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: platform-installer Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik Assignee: Denis Golovin Fix For: 11.0.0.AM1 Minishift/CDK allows to mount a Samba/CIFS share into the VM. This is a replacement for the current approach of using vagrant-sshfs as part of ADB/CDK 2.x. The vagrant-sshfs approach was password free, but for the CIFS approach we at the very least need the users Windows password. On top of this we can also allow the user to specify any share (opposed to just this home directory) as well as a custom mount point in the VM. The question is where and how the user specifies this information. In order to have a fully integrated solution where after the install DevStudio can be launched and the CDK adapter starting the CDK, the installer would need to ask the user for the required information and write some additional configuration data. Without this additional setup, the user would not have any host folders available. They can be added later by running a {code}minishift{code} command, but this would be a manual step and it might not be obvious to the user. Thoughts?
