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

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-6368:
-----------------------------------
Good point - I think you have to provide a plugin which exploits the discovery UI, install
that, THEN be able to "discover" more stuff to add to your Eclipse.
If we bundled the usage tracker w/ such a plugin and called it the JBoss Tools
"installer", we could then have everyone after that point installing using a
prettier UI.
Otherwise... I guess this isn't really doable unless this plugin gets bundled in with
Fedora 15's Eclipse 3.6.2 spin. It could also provide items on the Eclipse Help menu
for reporting issues in JIRA or opening support forums. *shrug*
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.
