[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-9368) Dashboard(s) for easy news aggregation, twitter and easy additional/3rd party plugin installation and project template/creation

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-9368: -------------------------------------- I have created the following features: 1) the JBoss Central editor and action (you can open it using Help>JBoss Central) 2) the Documentation and Create Projects section 3) the News section 4) the Software/Update page - uses the Mylyn Connector Discovery mechanism - the discovery directory file is located in https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/discovery/dir... - the discovery directory includes a plugin (https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/discovery/org...) and three features (m2e, eGit and testNG) 5) an extension point and engine to download and install a JBT runtime (Seam, AS, EAP ...). I have created the "Download and Install JBoss AS 7.0.1" action in the Getting started page as an example. The action downloads the JBoss AS archive from the sourceforge site (a mirror is automatically chosen) and installs the JBoss AS server using the Runtime detection plugin. We could add the Download button to the Runtime Detection preferences page. That would enable a user to easily install required plugins and runtimes when running tutorials/project examples. TODO - add tutorials (project examples). They could be based on the existing project examples having the welcome element or could be simple cheatsheets. - add the Search control - show JBoss Central when the user updates some plugin Your suggestions, design items (icons, images ...) are very welcome. The source code has been committed to the trunk/central. https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/org.jboss.too... is the update site. The changes introduced by JBIDE-9702 are required. The attached screenshots are showing the News section and the Software/Update page. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
