Mickael Istria commented on JBDS-3285:
--------------------------------------
There is no clear priorities between frameworks/technologies/languages/buildtools....
Examples: Why would Gradle have priority over Maven, or vice-versa? And if a Maven project
doesn't define a JavaScript plugin, does that make that we shouldn't enable JSDT
on a given webapp which includes many JavaScript files? If we have Bower and Maven, which
one should have priority? Should we also define some "work together" rules?
Where would they be defined?
Dealing with priorities require every configurator to be aware of all other configurators
in order to define priorities/compatibilities...
I've thought about it while designing the API, and I came to the conclusion that
priorities are a quite complex and weak workaround for things don't work together.
It's IMO more scalable to just assume that things have to work together.
About giving choice to the user about which configurator to use, this is already what the
"legacy" import wizard has done for so many years. The less choice we give to
user, the more useful is this tool.

Key: JBDS-3285
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3285
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: requirements, upstream
Affects Versions: 8.0.0.GA
Reporter: Burr Sutter
Assignee: Mickael Istria
Labels: usability
Fix For: 9.0.0.Alpha2
Attachments: import-me.zip
As a Java EE developer, in some cases using Git for the first time (or only familiar with
command line git), I find it very difficult to clone and import a project correctly into
JBDS, having the appropriate facets configured, if it has a maven pom.xml, correctly
setting the build path, where it is easily deployable to a localhost EAP instance.
The mission here is to make the Git experience much more user friendly.
