[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13987) Improve project wizards in JBoss Central : Proxy Wizards

Improve project wizards in JBoss Central : Proxy Wizards -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-13987 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13987 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: central Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen Labels: new_and_noteworthy, respin-b Fix For: 4.1.0.Beta1 The "Start from scratch" section (formerly known as Project section) in JBoss Central needs to support the following requirements : - wizard list (label/order/description) must be updateable remotely - show wizards (including the proper icon) even if their contributing plugins are missing - when clicking on the wizard link in JBoss Central, if the wizard is available then open it, else, install the required plugins The general idea here is to use some kind of proxy wizard. A proxy wizard model should have the following attributes : - id : the proxy wizard id - label : the proxy wizard label shown in JBoss Central - wizardId : the real wizard id used by Central to open the wizard dialog - iconPath : the path to the wizard icon (independent of required connector) - description : the description shown in Central when hovering over the wizard link - requiredConnectorIds : the connector ids to install if the real wizard is not available - priority : order in which the wizard is displayed in JBoss Central The proxy wizards will be declared in the jboss-discovery.jar plugin.xml (to minimize build / maintenance overhead). The jar will also include the required icons. The jar will be fetched remotely by the discovery mechanism but a cached version must be kept for offline usage.
