[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20100) how to make users aware of fuse and other tooling only being available from earlyaccess?

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13108750#comment-13108750 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-20100:
------------------------------------

Missing icon is fixed in CI via this commit:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/commit/9ad468118db4aaef784b9ed4aaaa57094154a99a

If you test the JBDS version you'll see the JBDS redball instead.

Reason your eclipse.ini linked to Alpha2 was because Mickael told you to do so in his comments above, instead of just following my instructions re: using the latest CI build.

Do you really need the word "Yet" added to the certID label? Asking because you say the text itself is "not a good way to show in the UI" so I don't grok how adding another word to make the label larger will make it somehow a better UX. 

Please clarify.

> [~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 ?
