[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=12641185#comment-12641185 ] 

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

For the Maven features that are not due to "GA" with JBoss Tools 3.3.Final then I think those can stay in another category - or just move to the proposed "incubating".  However, there are some aspects of Maven that are mission critical to JBoss Central, Forge, etc.  Those need to be easily selectable with a general JBoss Tools installation.

My primary goal is to make it dead simple for the average user to say "Give me everything I need" for:
- EE6 & AS7
- JBoss Central 
- Archetypes
- Quickstarts

Abridged JBoss Tools does not properly capture this idea, but only having two categories does ("real stuff" vs "experimental stuff").

> 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.
