[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16592: ---------------------------------------- Yes, that's what should happen. The update mechanism is not yet ready, but when it is, I thought about making status orange with label "Update Available". Also, keep in mind that with JBIDE-16375, new status will be introduced. I've given a try to this, and the issue with "Show installed" and grey items is that it makes users first believe that the grey item is somehow disabled and that they can't perform an action on it -such as uninstall-. Also, the "Show installed" is not enough for filtering: we might also want to Show/Hide available updates. Later, with JBIDE-16375, we might want to show/hide stuff that is early-access... Same here, anticipating JBIDE-16375, the possible set of actions for let's say a given installed connector could be Update, Install Early-Access or Uninstall. This multiplicity of action makes that buttons won't really scale. Also, depending on the status of the unit, different actions will be available, and even different number of actions. That's why I believe a selection widget (such as a combo) is more relevent here. What if I make the default text on combo "Select action...". Would it be better? I'm not against usage of buttons, but I don't see how they can play well with the variety of actions available. Maybe you could draft some (either on a paper, or Eclipse WindowBuilder or wireframe sketcher), so I'd understand better what you have in mind. I'll give it a try As far as I know, there is nothing like this (notifications on available updates) currently available in JBT/JBDS. This is for sure a good idea, can you please create another Jira for that? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
