[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16896) download runtime UI wizards has some weird workflow

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16896?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12956810#comment-12956810 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16896:
---------------------------------------------

C) then at least make the dialog show "Credentials verified - click Next to continue" or similar. 

D) Yeah, I realized that  see JBIDE-16897 for more on this though.

F) Look at the flow - it is completely illogical. Why would I want to start download of a server and then not be able to configure it ? Why do I get one created behind my back ? why not block the UI and let me cancel the download if I dont want to wait for it ?

> using download runtime the dialogs gets maxed out dependent on the lenght of the URL it looks like.
> Making the wizard very clumsy to look and work with.
> - the table is just taking up all space - and the url is not useful (can't copy/paste/link it)
> - the table is in a dailog and there is 90% whitespace
> How about 
> A) show the name and description in table
> B) Show the *info* url and if authorization is required enable username/password on the first page instead of requiring a second page for just that ?
> C) why can't we do authentication in a progress when clicking next instead of requiring users to manually click validate ?
> or at least tell the user to validate instead of just blanking out Next and *once* the credentials are valid actually show that isntead of just enabling Next.
> D) the license text shown is LGPL license - not $0 subscription (opening separate bug for this)
> E) the info url for the server is never actually shown in the workflow
> F) when clicking finish the dialog returns instantly to JBoss Runtime creation and  it tells me the home dir does not exist...why did it not fill it in and let me wait ?
> G) It actually creates the server for me in the background *while* im in the server wizard flow....thats just weird.
