Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-16375:
---------------------------------------

What is going to happen in case UI and central remote content is out of sync? especially if I am not lucky and have central open for a while. Then  selected something for installation that is still in my central UI but not on server.

> 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 ...).
