Marián Labuda commented on JBIDE-21886:
---------------------------------------
To make it more clear. Issue is that we are not letting user know about connection status.
On other places in tooling (as far as I checked) are indicators of status or at least tree
items displaying categories/groups/whatever with no tree items. But once there is an
OpenShift connection with no project and user try to expand it, the down arrow disappears
and there is only connection item. If user does not have deeper knowledge of our
OpenShift tooling he/she could perceive it as not working (we in QE had OpenShift tooling
testing session yesterday to have fresh eyes look on tooling and more people were noticing
this issue).
Have a label for when there is no project in your openshift
connection

Key: JBIDE-21886
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21886
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: openshift
Affects Versions: 4.3.1.CR1
Reporter: Martin Malina
Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha1
Marian and I were discussing the issue that it's not clear whether or not a
connection to OpenShift 3 is established or not - in the OpenShift Explorer view.
So here's a suggestion:
When you expand your OpenShift connection and there is no project yet, we could display
an item like this:
No projects are available. Click this link to create a new project...
This would be similar to what Server view display if there are no servers yet.
This is related to JBIDE-21871 where we discussed how to make it clearer that an
OpenShift connection is active and working.
For CDK, we will hopefully have a default project via
https://github.com/projectatomic/adb-utils/pull/78 so this won't be an issue, but you
cannot guarantee that there will always be a project on all OpenShift 3 instances, so it
would still be a good idea to have what we suggest above.
