[jbosstools-dev] New JBoss Central "Early Access"

[Nick Boldt]

Since Mickael's at EclipseCon this week, I can write something up. We 
need N&N for the three new features in Central / Early Access anyway:

1.    New functionality/categorization: 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2745, 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16375

2.    New/moved content: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17318, 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17559, 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17506

3.     AngularJS: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17278
