[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2852) Database/source/connection Usability

Database/source/connection Usability ------------------------------------ Key: JBDS-2852 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2852 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Epic Components: integration, requirements Reporter: Burr Sutter Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen Labels: QE_JBDS80_needinfo Connecting to a database from within JBDS/Eclipse is a multi-step, multi-screen, potentially error-prone challenge. Forge is involved as it can generate entities from schema Datasources are needed in/on AS/Wildfly/EAP in order for the project deploy Persistence.xml may needed to be tweaked for the datasource End-user would like to navigate the schema in the DTP/Hibernate Tools, interactively review the data and there was once a feature for viewing an ORM diagram that I seem to have forgotten how it is displayed. What happens when a project that needs a database connection is imported into the IDE? This was partially addressed with https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15263 Let's see if we can continue to improve the workflow by reducing steps, making it more obvious what steps are required (e.g. hey developer, get the mysql driver .jar), auto generating the -ds.xml, with a decent explanation for the end-user to follow.
