Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-15499:
---------------------------------------
Since our and some other plugin (MPC) can't both register DND on the main Eclipse
shell (Eclipse instance), I propose the following:
- check for existence of the MPC plugin which can be done without introducing a dependency
on the MPC plugin and
a) if it doesn't exist, register our DND on the main Eclipse shell
b) if exists, register DND on the JBoss Central editor
The second solution would always register our DND on the JBoss Central editor.
This would provide that our DND doesn't break MPC's DND.
When DND accepts a valid URL, we would do the following:
- check if there is a connector(s)
a) if there isn't any connector, open a simple information dialog
b) if there is one or more connectors, show a wizard similar to the Software/Update page
with the following info:
- connectors that don't exist
- already installed connectors
- connectors that aren't installed (they would be checked)
The user would be able to install some or all non-installed connectors.
Max,
WDYT?

in addition - if this could also be used to trigger start of wizards/import of quickstarts
would be interesting too.

Could you propose how they would be triggered?

[~snjeza] be my guest to create a PR for this - use similar mechanisms as found in eclipse
marketplace but with less bugs

Could you point me to any of them? I would like to try to fix them.
Support drag'n'drop of links to "connectors"
similar to marketplace to central for auto install

Key: JBIDE-15499
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15499
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: central
Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
Assignee: Snjezana Peco
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 4.1.1.Beta1
usecase is that you can have a link to a connector, such as JBDS-IS could be installed by
drag'n'drop to jboss tools or jbds.
Similar to eclipse marketplace for marketplace urls something like:
*
https://devstudio.jboss.com/central/install?connector=com.jbds.integratio...
or
*
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/central/install?CID=com.jbds.integra...
would install the two connectors named "com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel" and
"org.eclipse.m2e"
This would allow drag'n'drop install from html docs.
Consider also supporting this from any clipboard object (eg., dragged from an Acrobat
Reader PDF or Microsoft Office doc). Would need to ensure we do lots of platform testing.
