[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16592) Allow to update/remove software installed from Central

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16592: ---------------------------------------- With your suggested screenshot, I believe it's quite complex for the user to figure out the possible use-cases and to understand the sequence of actions to perform operations such as uninstall or install or update. Indeed, your proposal contains: * the "Show installed" checkbox on top-right * A checkbox for each catalog entry, independent of its status * 2 buttons install and uninstall, which doesn't make clear what is the process to update. Also, on what will this button apply? On everything that is checked? But some of the checked element won't apply. * Another checkbox (on the bottom-right this time) to show early access. So there are big difficulties in finding out hte combination of checkbox to perform an action. Let's show this to someone who doesn't know Central as much as we do, he'll probably be totally lost, not able to understand what's actually possible and where to click to enable the mode "replace release with early access". With my suggestion, there is no more filter (installed, early-access) so everything is shown and user doesn't have to care. The status shows whether the application is installed or not. The information is scoped and focused on the component, which IMO makes it way easier for user to understand what's actually going to happen. If you don't like the combo, then we can replace them with toggle buttons to choose the operation to perform, and replace the Install button by Apply. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
