Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-17808:
------------------------------------
Could this magic listing-file live in the EA discovery plugin itself, and be regenerated
every time we rebuild that plugin?
Then one of the base/common/examples/central plugins can simply grab that plugin, crack it
open, and pull down the file to drop it into the user's metadata install space.
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)
* ... ?
