[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4859) Create new categories for JBT/JBDS update sites

[John Verhaeg (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4859?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12508526#action_12508526 ] 

John Verhaeg commented on JBIDE-4859:
-------------------------------------

Not sure if I understand the current rationale behind these categories.  I guess, as a new user, I would have expected something more like:

1) JBoss Tools to be a parent category to all of the listed categories in lieu of the sibling "All JBoss Tools" category.

2) The Web/XML category to be separate from the Java EE category.

3) Hibernate and Drools to appear under a more general category.  I wouldn't think to look for either under the current categories unless my goal *happens* to be Java EE or SOA development, respectively.

4) Smooks to appear under the Web/XML category (for same reasons as above)

Part of my rationale is looking forward to a post-3.1 release, where I'd suggest having yet another category something like "Data Services Tools" that would include:

- Hibernate
- ModeShape Publishing
- Teiid Designer
- Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP)

> Renamed to capture current thrust of issue: should we have more categories than we currently do on the update site? Expose more/less features? This is a branding/marketing/ease of use question, so for now I'm bouncing it over to Max for comments.
