Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-9368:
-----------------------------------

so... where would this go? Something like http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/discovery/ ? http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/indigo/ ? Or are we versioning these files so that there'll be a 3.3.0, 3.3.1, etc? How will users discover the newer versions? Will we replace older (3.3.0) with newer (3.3.1) when the update's available?

Does the plugin have to be on its own update site somewhere, or does it just sit next to the directory.xml file, which points at it so that Mylyn/p2 can install it?

> We should look into either using the welcome screen, a single "dashboard" editor or possibly multiple views to provide a "single place to start" for JBT/JBDS users.
> This work have separate parts (might consider splitting this out in separate jiras):
> A. Create (or reuse) a feed agregator to show
>     Make that feed customizable from plugin customization to allow JBDS to control it.
> B. Setup and workout best way to use p2 discovery API and what it means for our 3rd party updatesites?
> C. Integrate important File > New Wizards and/or project examples to provide front and center.
