[~nickboldt] You told me Central already allows multiple catalogs. This plugin should also
look for metadata in catalog to decide whether to mark a feature as experiment or not.
Part of the scenario is decrease from Early Access to last release.
From a UI POV, it would make sense to have a single entry (for example
JBTIS), and 2 install buttons: "install release" and "install early
access" (if available).
Some metadata would be copied on user machine to know
which part he installed are Early Access or Release. This could be a dedicated file on
discovery site copied into user space. This metadata file would be mandatory so we would
warn/fail when loading a catalog that doesn't have it (most likely a mistake on
provider side)

Allow to extend Central extensions catalog with "Beta"
stuff

Key: JBIDE-16375
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16375
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: central, discovery
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta1
In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from
JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it
would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as
"Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or
it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry
("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
