[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18813) Convert JBoss Central to an HTML5 page

[Burr Sutter (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18813?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13038115#comment-13038115 ] 

Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-18813:
-------------------------------------

I am really hoping that we can have at least one of every key project type and that will pop-up the wizard that will ask the end-user to install the appropriate plugins.  I believe most people sitting down in front of Eclipse+Tools (aka JBDS) basically know what technologies they wish to work with - in other words, they know they want to craft a Hybrid Mobile App vs Camel Project. 

Projects like (note: I think the naming of these will be critical)
Java EE Web Project
HTML5 + Java EE (Angular vs Backbone+jQuery)
HTML5 Hybrid + Cordova 
AngularJS via Forge
Camel (Fuse) Project
Swithyard Project
Drools Project
jBPM Project
Data Virtualization Project
Spring for JBoss Project
OpenShift Project

For the end-user that does not know "where to start"...then...we would likely need a short video walk-through of each project type that explained what jBPM was for and provide an introduction to business process management.

> Central Page requires new capabilities :
> - needs more customization (display content depending on user preferences)
> - needs to scale with JBDS-IS, Fuse content
> - access to more examples, with filtering capabilities
> Given that the existing page is pretty hard to maintain and suffers from scalability/UI bugs, we're heading towards an HTML5 approach : 
> - use an embedded SWT Browser widget (or Java FX), depending on the platform compatibility
> - webpage and its content could be served remotely (as zip), and downloaded locally for offline use. this would give us more flexibility to update the content.
