Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-10264:
---------------------------------------------
"The Project Example wizard - project example choice (1) - JBoss Central doesn't
need this page because project examples are shown in the Project Examples section of the
JBoss Central editor"
ok - yes this like a Page "0", only for project examples.
"JBoss Central - details about "missing requirements" (2)"
Page 2
The Project Example wizard - details about "missing requirements" (2)"
JBoss Central - nothing
Page 3, 4, ...
project examples contributions (currently, only mavenArchetype would have those pages)
the last page
"open quickfix dialog" (4) - this page wouldn't be accessible until the user
downloads/builds a project example
Yes - thus this is *after* the download have completed.
""open the readme.*" (5) can't be added to the wizard because it is
opened in a separate view/editor"
This page is to be the last page of the wizard.
It should state "<xyz> have now been downloaded and ready to use. When you
press Finish <file> will be open with further instructions."
""wait for download (can be put in background)" (3) - would be executed
when the user clicks Finish"
No - download will have to happen before the project dependent content.
Any issue concerning "having UI block while downloading"
can be solved by providing a "go to background" for >the wizard
and once it has finished donwloading showing a dialog reporting download
have completed and we are now going to import + open readme.whatever (unless user
cancles) is worthwhile to "guide" the user.
Does this mean we have to add the "go to background"
checkbox to the first page of the wizard. If the user >checks it, the wizard would be
closed when he clicks the Finish button and dialogs will be being opened as >before?
It would mean download start on Page 3(?) and if you choose to go in background and the
job finishes the wizard will open up again starting from what would have been Page 4.
Will I contribute wizard pages necessary for the mavenArchetype project example?
Wizard-ify the project examples
-------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-10264
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10264
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: project-examples
Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M4
Reporter: Fred Bricon
Assignee: Snjezana Peco
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta1
In the wake of JBIDE-9776 and JBIDE-10140, it turns out that, in order for us to
contribute 5 new wizards to the "New " menu under the Jboss perspective and in
the "New project" section of JBoss central, "project examples" based
projects should be created via a Wizard implementation from the get go.
Current project examples workflow involves :
- displaying a form dialog : to display missing runtimes and let the user
install/download the required runtimes
- launching a workspace job, which in turn :
* downloads the example
* does the actual project import (launches a wizard for maven archetypes)
* resolve quickfixes
Ideally, all these steps would be part of a single wizard, spanning one to N pages
(depending on the complexity/requirements of the examples). Everything contributed by the
form dialog would be replaced by a wizard page, which would bring consistency to the UI.
In other words, that means the project example dialog needs to be refactored into a
Wizard, providing an API so that client plugins can contribute wizard pages.
I'm aware this is not a simple task to refactor the existing workflow to such an
infrastructure but ultimately, that would allow us to easily contribute new project
wizards to the IDE in a standard way.
Current target is 3.3.0.Beta1. Snjeza, WDYT?
