Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-16876:
-----------------------------------------

I original proposed the split in the description section but can see Max's point that users shouldn't have to make a connection etc. and know about OpenShift Explorer view to be able to import an OpenShift app.

So how about the following:
* Under Start from scratch, click OpenShift Application - see wizard first page with choice to import or create new OpenShift app [1]
* In OpenShift Explorer view, right-click app and click Import Application - see wizard second page [2]
* In Servers view, right-click server adapter for app and click OpenShift > Import Application - see wizard second page
 
[1] Text shown on mouse hover over OpenShift Application needs changing to mention that can use to import OpenShift app to workspace and not just create a new OpenShift application.
[2] Import Application menu items currently open wizard on first page

> In the New OpenShift Application wizard, user has two choices 1) use existing app or 2) create new app.
> * If user clicks 'Use my existing OpenShift application', then list of cartridges should be disabled. I was able to give name of app to import and then select cartridge which was meaningless as app was imported with original cartridge (as expected) and not the new one I had selected.
> *  If user clicks 'Create a new OpenShift application', the field for app name and browse button should be disabled.
> But this also raises the question for me as to why these two choices are shared on the same wizard page. I wonder if it would be cleaner to separate them.
> * So when in OpenShift Explorer view a user right-clicks an application and clicks 'Import Application' they would just see the wizard starting from the page 'Set up project for new OpenShift Application'. They've already decided they want to import so offering fields about creating a new OpenShift app isn't useful.
> * Similarly, when a user selects 'New > Application' then they don't need to be offered the information about using an existing OpenShift application. To me as a user, the action 'New > Application' makes me thing that I am creating a new OpenShift Application so having fields about using an existing OpenShift app is confusing.
