[Michelle Murray (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12945414#comment-12945414 ] 

Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-16592:
-----------------------------------------

Interesting implementation but I think it is too complex and duplicates existing functionality:
* There's already a 'show installed' check box so installed/not installed are differentiated by bold and grey text so don't need explicit text 'Not Installed'
* To install user can already check the tick boxes of items they want to install and then click one install button (vs click drop down list, select install, click install button)

What I found interesting when playing around in JBoss Central Update tab is that if you click the check box for an already installed item you get a pop-up window saying item is already installed. Could we use this in some way to instead ask the user 'selecting the check box means this item will be uninstalled, are you sure you want to unistall?' We could either require users to uninstall items one at a time or, like for installing, allow users to select a number of check boxes some to be installed and some to be uninstalled and then click the install/uninstall button.

Alternatively, when user clicks 'show installed' check box - the already installed items could each have their own uninstall button like in eclipse marketplace lists.

As for how to alert users to updates, perhaps nothing needs to happen - see JBDS-2842 discussion.
