> [~maxandersen] brought up a good point on a call today:
> we have no way from within JBDS of identifying which installed IUs were installed from Early Access vs. those what were installed from Central or another "supported" location.
> Thus we need some sort of UI to list installed IUs that are "Early Access".
> This could be... (brainstorming now):
> * a text file with the list of things installed from Early Access (features and plugins)
> * a set of asterisks added to the Help > About dialogs when browsing for installed features / plugins
> * a way to filter the plugin view (Help > About) to show only EA content (or exclude it)
> * ... ?
