             Summary: Make it easy to try out a url on a physical mobile device
                 Key: JBIDE-13984
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13984
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen


It is tedious to type in url's, especially ones with just ip numbers on mobile devices thus we should provide a way to make this easy.

Usecases:
  * You are developing on your machine and want to test on your own physical phone
  * You are presenting at a conference and want your audience to visit your website running in cloud or on the local network

Suggestions:
  Provide a way to show the QR code for a URL in the following locations:
    * Browser and CordovaSim
    * Provide "Show In > QR Coded URL" for an app/module 
    * Command that will take what is in clipboard/typed in and show the QR code   
 
In some cases there might be more than multiple possible urls to use - i.e. you are setup to use http://localhost:8080 but that is not going to help anyone trying to connect thus should make it easy to adjust the host part so you can type in the real host.
