Burr Sutter commented on JBDS-1941:
-----------------------------------
I have updated to a more recent version of JBDS5 (that was JBDS5 M4) so I have the more
attractive Welcome Screen now.
After talking to Max this morning, it seems the best course is to make the Welcome Screen
focused on getting the user to JBoss Central inside of the default JBoss Perspective as
quickly as possible.
I think the current answer is...
One Big Button that says Get Started - and it drops you into JBoss Central. We can add
some text about about the benefits of the new archetypes & quickstart examples on
JBoss Central.

JBDS5.M4's current Welcome Screen:
- the text at the top of the screen says
"tools that are pre-configured for JBoss Enterprise Middleware Platforms and Red Hat
Linux".
The tools are not pre-configured for Red Hat Linux, I am running them on Mac and Windows!
How about "..and certified on Red Hat Linux".
- includes two links to Getting Started and is out of alignment.
1 Getting Started with JBoss Developer Studio
2 Getting Started with JBoss Developer Studio
3 Getting Started
4 JBoss Seam Tutorial
5 WTP J2EE Tutorials
1 - The first item does not take you to the Getting Started element in the docset. I am
not sure if that specific book has a direct link, if possible link directly to the right
book.
2 - The 2nd item is simply the same text without a link - just remove the redundant
text.
3 - The 3rd item takes you to the workshops listing. Those are not updated to JBDS5.
This should not be a link
4 - Correctly linked - in the future I hope to have some EE6 Getting Started materials to
add here
5 - J2EE? Please kill this link - we must leverage our AS7 Getting Started materials,
videos, quickstarts, archetypes.
