[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBIDE-6368) Should nest categories in update site

[Max Andersen (JIRA)]

     [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Max Andersen updated JBIDE-6368:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 3.2.0.Beta2
                       (was: 3.2.0.Beta1)
         Priority: Critical  (was: Optional)


should be looked at before CR/GA.

Could be done with different catgories/uncategorized items or by creating proper "uber" features. Find advantages/disadvantages of the two.

i.e. Uber Features apparently forces upgrades to only be done via the uber feature not subfeature - true/false ?

> As discussed somewhat in JBIDE-4859, it seems like we should nest our categories in our update site.  So, instead of having lots of sibling categories for the various tools in JBT alongside a sibling "All JBoss Tools" category, the latter should be promoted to a parent category for the others (dropping the "All" prefix).  For example:
> - JBoss Tools
>     - SOA Development
>         - JBoss ESB Tools
>         - Drools Core
>         ...
>     - Data Services
>         - Hibernate
>         - ModeShape
>         - Smooks
>         - Teiid Data Tools Connectivity
>         - Teiid Designer Design-Time
>         - Teiid Designer Runtime
> BTW, IMO having features in multiple categories blows.  I don't like seeing this with other Eclipse projects either.  Just my 2 cents.
