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

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-6368:
--------------------------------------------
I don't really see any way of handling this well in eclipse p2.
Plugins need to be in several categories since there are plugins that falls into multiple
i.e. Hibernate Tools is both relevant for JEE and for Data Services but if we only put it
in Data Services then it becomes a maze to actually figure out what features to install
for our major use case (JEE/Web developement) since they would not need/want to install
i.e. all of Teiid....and vice versa.
I'm pushing is off for now unless someone got a great idea on how to fix it.
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.
