Catherine Robson commented on JBIDE-19838:
------------------------------------------

This might be long in a different JIRA, but here's some things we know based on some limited user testing and UX expert reviews:

As a first time user of Eclipse, I don't realize that Software/Update is a separate tab that I am brought to in the JBoss Central perspective.  I'd like to better understand the relationship of the software/update page with the Central homepage so that I can easily navigate between them as needed.

As a first time user of Software/Update who needs Integration tooling, it isn't clear to me that I need to click "Enable Early Access" to see the main tooling I need, and the checkbox isn't in a location I easily see.  It would be nice if there was an easier way to filter the list to find the add ons I need through early access, who they are created by, whether they are installed, and other factors at a glance.

As a user who has installed some additional features, I'd like to be able to see a list of all the features I have installed. Even though it says Installed for each feature that is installed, that’s not something that is included in filterable information. Searching for Installed returns no results.  I'd like to easily see what has been installed so I can quickly verify whether I have the tooling I need or not.

As a user with limited screen real estate, it is very difficult to scroll and navigate the available features table as it is currently designed.  Only one row typically shows at a time, and I find it hard to locate and select the items I need.

>          Components: central
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Beta1
>         Environment: JBT 4.3.0.Nightly, central feature version 2.0.0.Beta1-v20150520-1916-B702

> Now in new Central, there is big Add Tools button which switches central to Software/Update page. 
> Now, I can imagine some people struggling with switching back to Central form Software/Update page. The tabs on bottom are easy to overlook (when it's ones first encountering with central). It would be good IMHO to have some "back" button on Software/Update page.
> With old central it was OK, because switching to Software/Update page required user to notice those tabs on the bottom. No one can be completely unaware of those.
> What do you think?
