---------------------------------------

Radim, Rastislav,

I suppose you have tried to drop the URL into an empty editor area.
The editor area has its drop target that opens an editor.
There is no easy way to add our target to the editor area. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248462

The issue happens on Linux and Windows. The difference is that Windows doesn't throw an exception.

If you drop the URL to the toolbar area, menu area, JBoss Central editor, it will work correctly.

Max, Nick,
Do you mean I need to make a fix/workaround for this issue?

> usecase is that you can have a link to a connector, such as JBDS-IS could be installed by drag'n'drop to jboss tools or jbds.
> Similar to eclipse marketplace for marketplace urls something like:
> * https://devstudio.jboss.com/central/install?connector=com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel,org.eclipse.m2e or 
> * http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/central/install?CID=com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel,org.eclipse.m2e
> would install the two connectors named "com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel" and "org.eclipse.m2e"
> This would allow drag'n'drop install from html docs.
> Consider also supporting this from any clipboard object (eg., dragged from an Acrobat Reader PDF or Microsoft Office doc). Would need to ensure we do lots of platform testing.
