Max Andersen commented on JBIDE-7524:
-------------------------------------

> 2) The import/export buttons does not seem to do anything beyound calling import/export dialog. 

By this I mean the buttons simply does not seem to do anything that isn't already available from the normal import/export wizards.
I was not talking about the import/export not actually working. I assumed they work within the limits discussed elsewhere.
I was just suggesting that since this search are not working well from within the preferences pane no reason to have import/export
button just start the general import/export wizard when users can just use the normal import/export.

> 3) Search has a cancel button but it doesn't do anything 

Here is a screencast showing me scanning my home folder and root:
http://screencast.com/t/mRwL0QcY

The search does stop, but it is not a very instant stop - it takes a few seconds,
and sometimes many seconds.

> Seam, AS, jBPM and Drools are part of EAP/SOA-P and aren't shown in the list that the user can see, but they are recognized and configured if they exist.

Ok - didn't notice that but that does seem to be what happens. Might been the "preferences doesn't refresh" issue ?

> Do you think we need to show AS/Seam/Drools/jBPM runtimes when the engine recognizes EAP/SOA-P ?

Wouldn't that be the most consistent ?

> After the discussion on mailing list we need to fix the current jboss tools runtime page/functionallity.
> I've found the following issues in my current testing:
> 1) The list of links to "JBoss Runtimes" is bad ui - fills up the screen with alot of whitespace (and its Runtimes not runtime)
> 2) The import/export buttons does not seem to do anything beyound calling import/export dialog.
> 3) Search has a cancel button but it doesn't do anything
> 4) Seam webapps seem to be picked up as seam runtimes - is that intended ?
> 5) Seam inside EAP is not detected
> 6) Drools inside SOA-P is not detected
> 7) The import/export of WTP servers seem to be a very bad hack...we probably have to live with it but at least we should try and make our import/export simply wrap the relevant runtimes
> Furthermore these settings seem to not persist between workspaces and does not handle the original usecase of having runtimes configured when starting up a new workspace (requiring users to import/export is not the solution)
> I'm creating a few subtasks for this to outline the ideas.
