Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-9368:
--------------------------------------

> ive just updated and now we have a hardcoded string in our plugin to nightly trunk + the discovery plugin is again added to the feature...why is that ? This won't work across any milestones/trunk/release builds. 

If you are talking about  the mylyn discovery file (https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/discovery/directory-3.3.0.xml), we could add an Eclipse or a system preference. Mylyn uses the mylyn.discovery.directory system preference (http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/discovery/directory-3.6.xml by default).
I don't know why Nick has added the org.jboss.tools.central.discovery plugin to o.j.t.central.feature feature. I have removed it.

I have understood that we, for now, have to remove/comment the Software/Update page.

> [10:38:41 PM] Max Rydahl Andersen says: remove the extension updates stuff for M4 release since it contains bogus data and we won't have the infrastructure in place - we should though find out with nick/denis how that discovery site gets created/maintained.

> If having the plugin in the same feature is BAD, I can produce a new feature to wrap it so it can be published but NOT installed at the same time.

Nick,
We don't need any feature for this plugin. It needs to be built and placed to some location (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/examples/org.jboss.tools.central.discovery_3.3.0.jar, for instance)

> 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.
