[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16375) Allow to extend Central extensions catalog with "Early Access" stuff

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12969353#comment-12969353 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16375:
----------------------------------------

The "refresh" button doesn't work with my suggested patch. However, it seems to me that this button is pretty useless (additionally to being confusing and bugged), so I'm in favor of removing it to get rid of a bug and to remove a UI entry that is not helpful for user.
[~snjeza] [~dgolovin] [~maxandersen] Any objection?

> In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as "Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
> Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
> The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry ("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
