----------------------------------
Summary: Remove Extras site from p2.inf so JBDS OOTB does not reference the
site (and therefore users only see Central for installing 3rd party extras)
Key: JBIDE-12590
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12590
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: central, updatesite
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
Discussion has started regarding the removal of the Extras site URL from JBDS OOTB, so as
to encourage users to get their 3rd party bits via Central instead of using the old p2 UI
approach.
This would ensure:
a) a cleaner UI experience
b) controlled access to specific groupings of functionality (Central connectors) instead
of users being able to pick&choose any feature they want (and therefore get an
incomplete experience)
Note that advanced users can still add the Central site or the Extras site once again be
able to cherry-pick what they want to install. This just obfuscates it a little.
