[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20001) Confusing New->Connection dialog that tells v3 and Enterprise users to create an Online account

[Fred Bricon (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20001?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13094791#comment-13094791 ] 

Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-20001:
-------------------------------------

can't we just do something as simple as :
if (url == publicUrl) {
  display "If you do not have an account on OpenShift, please sign up"
}

for v2 : publicUrl="https://openshift.redhat.com"
for v3 : publicUrl="" -> no public url yet, no sign up message

openshift.v2.publicUrl and openshift.v3.publicUrl could be keys defined, with their values, in http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/configuration/ide-config.properties. You retrieve the value with `PropertiesHelper.getPropertiesProvider().getValue(key)`

The day v3 online goes live, we update openshift.v3.publicUrl. Next time the user restarts JBT/JBDS, ide-config.properties is reloaded, new publicUrl value read, message is displayed.

> The Eclipse tooling is intended to be used with V2 Online (for now)  and V3 when it is available.  Also it is intended to be used with on-premise Enterprise instances, which do not require an Online account.  This instruction may be confusing to these customers.
> Along these lines, the V3 Server is prefilled with the URL for the online service which may not work for some time.  I propose selecting a different default value for V3
> An alternative could be that after they enter the URL they could attempt to "valid it" or "open in browser".
