    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13085692#comment-13085692 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-20100:
---------------------------------------------

okey, so you are stating the same as the comments. 

Show earlyaccess content more prominently. 

We agree on this. 

Now can we go over the issues that are beyond this ? 

1)  just showing all by default does not handle the case when earlyaccess is adding/changing an existing connector - so how do we handle these if EA are shown by default ?
2) Fuse and others will not have an earlyaccess build before later how do we handle this (suggestion: add a way for these to tell user need to use devstudio 7 and/or 8 instead, i.e. "advertise-connector")
3) How do we handle installs from project examples - will we just keep that as is so it will install whatever is configured and only get earlyaccess when installed ? 
4) How about the proxy wizards - these also are on/off based on earlyaccess.

I think 3 and 4 is just handled by keeping as is, thus main issue for this is still 1 and 2.

> [~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 ?
