[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10048) Reorganize JBoss Tools features into new categories (was All JBoss Tools is very confusing)

[Burr Sutter (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10048?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12647143#comment-12647143 ] 

Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-10048:
-------------------------------------

So this all started with an end-user, asked to install JBoss Tools, went to the update site and selected only "All JBoss Tools" and then discovered, much to his surprise that several things were missing.

Now, I have another end-user, who when asked to install JBoss Tools, went to the update site and selected everything but "Abridged" because he wanted everything, just the subset.  Therefore, he checked all the other boxes and found, much to his surprise that several things were missing.

So, does Abridged now include "Everything you really need minus the experimental stuff"?  Then it is back to being "All".

In general, competing Eclipse tool distributions do not have this many categories and the confusion.  You either want the bundle (e.g. JBoss Tools) or not.

> All JBoss Tools is very confusing.
> it is unclear to the novice user what checkboxes should be checked.  
> I believe the right "subset" is 
> - All JBoss Tools
> - Application Development
> - Maven Support
> - Web and Java EE Development
> Those 4 should be "All JBoss Tools" or "the Right Set of JBoss Tools" for the average user.
