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

[~mmurray] Only short out of topic notice - user has to make connection, but he does not have to know about explorer - in Under Start from scratch without connection there is at first connection set up in wizard (think about it as page 0) and after that there is a first wizard page Also from Servers view in case of no connection user have to click on new connection in new server shell to establish new connection and then continue with importing OpenShift application. I just wanted to point that it is necessary establish connection but it is not required to do it from OpenShift Explorer.

Server adapter cannot be created without existing imported application in workspace. Server adapter is between existing application in workspace and deployed application on OpenShift. So have Server adapter without imported application would be just in case of previous deletion of application in workspace, but I dont see reason, why would user delete application in workspace and then would want to import it in workspace (again). But if you thought while creation process of server adapter, then there is a combo box to choose existing app and after preselecting desired application it could continue on second wizard 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.
