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

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12989138#comment-12989138 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-17808:
------------------------------------

Could this magic listing-file live in the EA discovery plugin itself, and be regenerated every time we rebuild that plugin? 

Then one of the base/common/examples/central plugins can simply grab that plugin, crack it open, and pull down the file to drop it into the user's metadata install space.

> [~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)
> * ... ?
