On startup:

[^20100_JBDS_CR1_fuse_unavail.png]

Here's the tooltip for the "Not Available" (NA) certificationID:

[^20100_JBDS_CR1_fuse_unavail_popup.png]

And when we enable Early Access (EA), we see this instead:

[^20100_JBDS_CR1_fuse_ea_popup.png]

So, I'd say this is working. Didn't attempt to do an actual INSTALL because the whole point here is markup & putting news in front of the user that Fuse exists, but isn't available to install. 

Once we move something from NA to EA, the NA connector can be simply removed. But this proves that if they're BOTH available at the same time, at least the EA one will be available and replace the NA one

> [~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 ?
