[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (JBDS-1673) Installer should align with runtime detection

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1673?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Denis Golovin edited comment on JBDS-1673 at 7/22/11 6:45 PM: -------------------------------------------------------------- I suggest we either: *A)* extract the detection code and uses that in both places OR *B)* change the installer to just ask for directories to scan on every startup which then needs somehow to be read by the runtime detection and then it takes over all this WDYT ? *Consequences of B:* The installer will not show or ask what servers will be setup - that will happen on every new workspace startup instead (or more specifically on every workspace that doesn't have been using runtime detection before). Runtime detection will ask for every server found that is not yet setup and you as a user can say yes/no to get it installed. One danger is users pointing to very large directories - not sure how we can avoid or reduce that problem. The advantages of this approach is the installer gets simpler, it is not out of sync and when there are updates to the detection plugins they will pick up new servers where is before it was just done by the installer which should optimally only be run *once* was (Author: maxandersen): Consequences of B: The installer will not show or ask what servers will be setup - that will happen on every new workspace startup instead (or more specifically on every workspace that doesn't have been using runtime detection before).
