About UI, it seems like the catalog viewer will need some changes.
Indeed for a given module, here are the possible action
* For a module that is not installed
** Install latest release
** If available, Install milestone of future release (should show a warning with description on hover telling what it means)
* For a module that is installed
** Uninstall module
** Update (if available): update release to newer release or early-access to newer early-access
** Switch to stable release (if is early access installed and a release is available) *or* Switch to early-access (if stable release and early access available)

Currently, we only have a checkbox to select whether to install something or not a module. Instead, we'll need to find something else. it can be either a list, or a radio, or a combo, or another custom widget.
I'd like to suggest usage of radio buttons. What do you think?

> In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as "Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
> Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
> The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry ("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
