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

[Steve Speicher (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20001?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13076943#comment-13076943 ] 

Steve Speicher commented on JBIDE-20001:
----------------------------------------

I wonder why it needs to be shown at all.  

What happens if an unregistered user attempts to connect? It would be good if the flow would just allow for the user to be prompted to login/register as needed.

I guess it also depends in V2 is how many Online users do you have or expect to have versus Enterprise? If one sticks out as the primary case, then I'd say it should lean that way. Otherwise it may introduce some confusion

> 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".
