[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20100) how to make users aware of fuse and other tooling only being available from earlyaccess?

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13102388#comment-13102388 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-20100:
----------------------------------------

A-B) So far, it doesn't tell user when no connector exists. As reading the initial comment from [~jtyrrell], both story of Early-Access visibility and unexisting connector seem not so correlated. The proposal I made earlier (for which I have a first iteration almost ready) only address the 1st part.
B) I don't understand the user story here. We should always recommend people to use the newest JBDS, and if we have a version of Fuse supported against a lower version of JBDS, isn't it expected to work on the newer one too? Not doing that is IMO a big risk of confusing users, or blocking them to old release and making the amount of maintained/tested combinations grow too much for no real benefit.

C) I'll attach a screenshot when I make the PR.

> [~jtyrrell] find it confusing when he cannot see Fuse and other earlyaccess features immediately on the install page.
> Some comments:
> "I install JBDS 8.1 and click on the JBoss Integration and SOA Development, but where is the Fuse tooling in that list."
> "<without earlyaccess> why doesn’t my screen shot tell me to use an older version of JBDS or something."
> Suggestion:
> "when I picked the Integration Stack a greyed out Fuse IDE thingy in the list of choices, and something like (Select early Access) to enable this feature."
> I'm fine exploring options to show early access features more prominently but would prefer we would not need to treat Fuse "special" so maybe we should have a "Early Access" section at the bottom instead of filtered in between everything else ? 
> and for any connectors that has additional/different features just add a "Extra features available in Early access " comment ? 
> But what to do when Fuse or others dont even have an earlyaccess out yet ? (like is currently the state for devstudio 9)
> [~crobson], [~aileenc] and [~lhein] got any suggestions ?
