[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16876) New OpenShift Application wizard pg#1 needs fields disabled based on user actions

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16876?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12956439#comment-12956439 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16876:
---------------------------------------------

Just to summarize from chat on this:

This is breaking all normal user UI expectations - it is showing two active fields, one which will always be ignored.
All other UI in eclipse (and other desktop apps) will disable components that are not relevant for current user
input.

Thus I agree with [~mmurray] that this behavior should be reverted.

I agree though that it would be handy to be able to toggle easier but that is not worth the loss of visual 
guidance of which fields are relelvant to the user.

One improvement you can make is that this dialog will remember which radio button was used last.

> In the New OpenShift Application wizard, user has two choices 1) use existing app or 2) create new app.
> * If user clicks 'Use my existing OpenShift application', then list of cartridges should be disabled. I was able to give name of app to import and then select cartridge which was meaningless as app was imported with original cartridge (as expected) and not the new one I had selected.
> *  If user clicks 'Create a new OpenShift application', the field for app name and browse button should be disabled.
> But this also raises the question for me as to why these two choices are shared on the same wizard page. I wonder if it would be cleaner to separate them.
> * So when in OpenShift Explorer view a user right-clicks an application and clicks 'Import Application' they would just see the wizard starting from the page 'Set up project for new OpenShift Application'. They've already decided they want to import so offering fields about creating a new OpenShift app isn't useful.
> * Similarly, when a user selects 'New > Application' then they don't need to be offered the information about using an existing OpenShift application. To me as a user, the action 'New > Application' makes me thing that I am creating a new OpenShift Application so having fields about using an existing OpenShift app is confusing.
