[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17251) Server download error message not helpful: 'Unknown response code: 503'

Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-17251:
-----------------------------------------
[~rawb], agreed that making a message for every server response code would be time
consuming and potentially pointless from a user perspective. If the server returns a code
that the user can't do anything about (e.g., 503 service unavailable, or any of the
other relevant 70) then would a single message suffice? Like 'Your credentials cannot
be verified at this time. Try again later.' But for errors that the user can do
something about (e.g., no internet connection) the user gets an explicit message?

Key: JBIDE-17251
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17251
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: server
Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1
Environment: Fedora19, 64-bit, OpenJDK 1.7_55, GTK2
Reporter: Michelle Murray
Attachments: Server_downloaderror.png, Server_downloaderror2.png
1. From JBoss Central click HTML5 project.
2. In wizard, under Requirements, select 'This project example requires JBoss
Enterprise ...' and click 'Download and Install'.
3. From list, select JBoss EAP 6.2.0 and click Next.
4. In fields type username and password and click Validate.
>> window showed 'Unknown response code: 503'
Not sure what this error is for - server timeout? [I assume it wasn't for wrong
password or unknown username as these result in the 'Your credentials are
incorrect.' error message.] This 503 error message only happened once - on subsequent
try all worked fine. But the error message needs improving if it is going to be helpful to
users.
