Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-15499:
------------------------------------

[~snjeza] I would argue that this issue *IS* fixed and works.

Drag and drop works *if you drop on the correct target location*. 

We just need to be sure that when we document this in JBDS documentation & quickstarts and blogs, we tell people to WHERE to drag the link, not simply "drag to JBDS" or "drag to Eclipse" but "drag into the JBoss Central view"*. Added bonus is that it's clear that you have to have Central installed (doesn't work in vanilla Eclipse, like a Marketplace link does) *and open* for this to work.

* - _Aside: I'm calling it a view even if technically it's an editor because other that picking 3rd party connectors to install, it's not really an "editor" in the "allows me to edit things" sense._

> 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.
