    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12947321#comment-12947321 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16375:
----------------------------------------

According to current discovery API, the easiest way to implement that will be to have this in the *same catalog* as all modules (code can currently handle a single catalog). At the same discovery URL, there could be a file describing the list of supported or not supported *versions*. This file could only contain the list of supported stuff, with on each line the id and version of a supported item. Everything that is not in that file could be considered as "not supported".

> 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 ...).
