[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18900) CordovaSim: Can't run default FeedHenry app locally

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Ilya Buziuk commented on JBIDE-18900: ------------------------------------- [~maxandersen], I get the point with parameters - that's fair, I haven't thought about it from that angle ;-). I have created a separate issue for that - JBIDE-19032 #1/2 Ok I got it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The proposal is the following: having 2 *different launch configurations* of the *same launch config type*. This approach would work and it's easy to do. But it seems to have 2 drawbacks: - no obvious UI for changing default server url - it's not clear how to switch between FH's remote and local server #3 well, IMO the original problem is *it's not clear from the user perspective how to force CordovaSim use local FH server*. And separate launch configuration seems to solve it. Now it's clear how to trigger between local and remote server. Also it's clear how to change server url (for instance to http://127.0.0.1:5543) cause we have a separate UI for that. Basically, I personally think that this approach is *not* ideal due to the fact that in order to use local server one needs to open launch config and do it manually. But at the same time it seems to be more straightforward. On balance, we have 2 alternatives now with the following +/-: *(1) leave old launch type:* +) simple +) do not require API breakage (if we not implementing JBIDE-19032 for 8.1.0) -) not obvious from the user perspective *(2) new launch type* +/-) not simple compared with (1), but not intricate either +) separate FH UI / more straightforward -) will probably require API breakage (ideally I want to refactor some stuff in CordovaSim) Third option is to implement (1) for 8.1.0 and (2) for master.
