Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-20100:
----------------------------------------
The PR was update to take into account comments from [~maxandersen].
I also investigated a way to have non-installable items in the Software page. It seems like the easiest but good enough way is to use a specific certification, and to disable the button when connector is from the specified certification. Here is concretely the code I have tried, which works.
In ConnectorDescriptorItemUi (responsible for creating UI for a given connector):
{code}
if (connector.getCertificationId() != null && connector.getCertificationId().toLowerCase().contains("notavailable")) {
selectionButton.setVisible(false);
selectionButton.setEnabled(false);
}
{code}
Then creating a dummy entry in the Software page is only about creating a connector, and using a certificationId which contains "notavailble".
Any objection to this suggestion.

> [~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 ?
