[jbosstools-dev] Docker connections in Docker Tooling - request for feedback

[Martin Malina]

Thanks for the suggestions. I added it to the bugzilla [1]. If you had more suggestions, you may add it directly there (or I will do it if you just reply here) so that whoever starts working on that BZ has all the suggestions handy.

Thanks,
Martin

If the user expand and connection is in failed state, then we should reset the timer and try to fetch data.

I do understand why they came up with the disabled state - when you have Docker images view open, the view will keep being refreshed periodically, so disabling the connection when the docker daemon is down makes some sense. But yes, perhaps it could still be expandable in the Docker Explorer and expanding would enable the connection. I will suggest this in the BZ.
