[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16720?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mark Drilling edited comment on JBIDE-16720 at 3/10/14 3:27 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Heres explanation from Ben Parees (OpenShift) on the current state of cartridges v========================================v So essentially there are 3 types of cartridges now: 1) system cartridges (rpm based, maintained by openshift team) - appear on the web page and in rhc cartridge list 2) imported downloadable cartridges (downloadable cartridge, but imported so they show up in the same places as system cartridges) 3) non-imported downloadable cartridges - these do not explicitly show up anywhere. The historic way to promote a downloadable cartridge was to create a quickstart based on it, and promote the quickstart. Unfortunately there is currently no obvious distinction for a user between #1 and #2. Both the site and command line indicate cartridges which do not receive automatic security updates, which for now is effectively the same as being an imported downloadable cartridge, but it's not explicit that the cartridge is downloadable. ======================================== I think 2) is a new feature and seems to be the way they prefer to register the cartridges now. I'm not sure how the import works, but it will apparently then show up same as system cartridges. If that is the case, it will be available in the wizard's drop-down with everything else. And yes about the localhost issue. (Can't use the openshift hostname because of the port forwarding.) was (Author: mdrillin): Heres explanation from Ben Parees (OpenShift) on the current state of cartridges v========================================v So essentially there are 3 types of cartridges now: 1) system cartridges (rpm based, maintained by openshift team) - appear on the web page and in rhc cartridge list 2) imported downloadable cartridges (downloadable cartridge, but imported so they show up in the same places as system cartridges) 3) non-imported downloadable cartridges - these do not explicitly show up anywhere.
