[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6368) Should nest categories in update site

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-6368:
-----------------------------------
Rather than worrying about nesting, why don't we look at creating a discovery UI like
what Mylyn has to present users with a collection of useful "Bundles of
Functionality" with icons and descriptive text... and a cleaner/simpler install
experience.

Should nest categories in update site
-------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-6368
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6368
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Task
Components: updatesite
Affects Versions: 3.2.x
Reporter: John Verhaeg
Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: LATER
Attachments: nested-categories-p2-update-site.png
As discussed somewhat in JBIDE-4859, it seems like we should nest our categories in our
update site. So, instead of having lots of sibling categories for the various tools in
JBT alongside a sibling "All JBoss Tools" category, the latter should be
promoted to a parent category for the others (dropping the "All" prefix). For
example:
- JBoss Tools
- SOA Development
- JBoss ESB Tools
- Drools Core
...
- Data Services
- Hibernate
- ModeShape
- Smooks
- Teiid Data Tools Connectivity
- Teiid Designer Design-Time
- Teiid Designer Runtime
BTW, IMO having features in multiple categories blows. I don't like seeing this with
other Eclipse projects either. Just my 2 cents.
