[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2745) Support installation of Early Access / Experimental / Incubating plugins

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12939317#comment-12939317 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-2745:
----------------------------------

* Controlling what gets in is a human thing (ie., PRD/ERD/Requirements JIRAs w/ ACKs). That won't change.

* Being able to provide updates from [EA/Exp/Inc] to [Final/GA] has always been possible, though we never included the EA/Exp/Inc content before. Ability to update won't change.

* Labelling how pre-GA content appears is simply a user interface thing (aka *eye candy*). That WILL change.

* Providing automation & testing to verify content is properly labelled / versioned is new. 

Does that make it clear what we need to do?

> It's been suggested that it would be nice to have Central available to install non-GA content. How might this appear?
>  [~burrsutter], [~maxandersen], are we talking about:
> * an additional dialog warning users about untested content? (that might be ignored / blindclicked)
> * an additional tab in Central for this type of content (what label would you use?)
> * relabelling the content's feature descriptions / titles / copyright / license terms to be clear it's unstable content? (might be ignored)
> * some other workflow?
> See also JBDS-2068.
