Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-2838:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for the list of concerns [~burrsutter], just giving a quick context on each item since some I believe are already handled - but maybe not known.

* screen prompts that don't make sense

For these we should simply just gather/open jiras and get them prioritized.

* cluttered screens in the wizard

If you mean the New App wizard - then that is/should be covered in the work around quickstarts/instantapp - see JBIDE-14744 for the current mockups for this work.

* how to find the wizard if JBoss Central is closed (which it is for most users)

Is there a specific concern you have here ? The wizard is currently available where all other wizards are available from: File > New > OpenShift.

We got JBIDE-10546 to also make it available where other non-standard/defaults features gets enabled in eclipse (via the Configure menu in project context menu)
 
* what if I have forgotten my password or not yet even registered

The wizard has a "Please sign up here" with link to "https://openshift.redhat.com/app/account/new"

Not sure what more we can/should provide ? 

* what if I wish to debug (we did not document it yet, I am not sure how the average joe would have figured that out)

[~mmurray] is in progress of documenting this (see TOOLSDOC-446). We could probably make some of these steps simpler to do though.
We have a prototype for this that is a bit old we can revive.

* I did not properly setup my SSH keys, how do I get started or recover from errors in this area?

This is a documentation issue I believe. In past there have been lots of issues here on openshift and tooling side but I believe we should be pretty good here - the only concern is for users to remember to add the key to eclipse if they are NOT using the default ssh key.
Does OpenShift docs cover this issue ?

* I wish to push to both my enterprise git repo AND openshift simultaneously

My answer depends on *why* you want this. What usecase?

but basically you would do this by using just normal git operations. Right click project and do git Push > enterprise git repo and git push > openshift repo. 

I would find it unnatural/too complex to add this kind of feature into the openshift server adapter. WDYT ?

* I wish to only push to openshift initially and when I feel the code is "solid" then push to my enterprise git repo

Same answer as above since you literally cannot push to two repos at the same time you have to do it in two operations.

The area not covered in your items above is that we have two "entry" points to openshift - openshift explorer and the server adapter and both does not have same actions availlable causing confusion and unnecessary need to switch between the two. 
This is covered in JBIDE-15897 and IMO one of the things we need to fix first.
