[UI][Usability] Streamline UI for server editor and all possible options
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-10550
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10550
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Task
Components: JBossAS/Servers
Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M5
Reporter: Rob Stryker
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta1
The Server Editor has often been called "too busy" with unrelated settings
populating it in a rather disorganized fashion. Less-often used settings, such as which
pollers to use, or manually setting ports, have often been suggested that they be hidden a
bit so as not to distract users.
With several jiras open for adding additional settings (ex: expose management port? or,
for openshift, automatically git-add new files before commit?), simply throwing them into
the Server Editor would only serve to clutter it further. A uniform UI with a real design
and intuitive location for new settings should be created, with clear outlines for what
belongs in the server editor (very little) vs what is a more advanced setting and can be
hidden (though still not too far... user should not need to go 'DIG' to find it).
