[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=12640802#comment-12640802 ] 

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

max, are you saying the majority of our JBoss Tools "installations" are coming from Eclipse Marketplace instead of our updatesite? If so, then the complexity and confusion caused by having to pick up to 4 overlapping categories is likely OK-as nobody actually sees these URLs/uses these update sites.

If in fact a large number of people use this updatesite then it should be much easier to determine what needs to be installed. I suggest that most people want most features/plugins - they want "JBoss Tools" without having to spend too much time thinking about what pieces are vital.

> 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.
