[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17808) Identify which installed IUs are from Early Access vs. supported/tested versions

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-17808:
----------------------------------------

Once installed, there is no way to know where an IU is coming from, so it means we'd need to keep that separated. Also, it's not because an IU comes from Early Access that it's not supported,
What is the use-case for this feature? We could just compare the content of an installation to what's available on a reference p2 repo and say that everything that isn't on the reference p2 repo is not supported.

> [~maxandersen] brought up a good point on a call today:
> we have no way from within JBDS of identifying which installed IUs were installed from Early Access vs. those what were installed from Central or another "supported" location.
> Thus we need some sort of UI to list installed IUs that are "Early Access".
> This could be... (brainstorming now):
> * a text file with the list of things installed from Early Access (features and plugins)
> * a set of asterisks added to the Help > About dialogs when browsing for installed features / plugins
> * a way to filter the plugin view (Help > About) to show only EA content (or exclude it)
> * ... ?
