[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-22734) Please clarify CDK usage

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-22734?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13265324#comment-13265324 ] 

Rick Wagner commented on JBIDE-22734:
-------------------------------------

When I started the CDK from a command line and 'vagrant up', the Docker components did not autopopulate.  (I had to try to answer the question "which socket should be used for connection?")

The documentation did not provide a specific value.  It suggested ""Add the relevant socket information for your host. If you are unsure about this step, use the default Unix socket Location value."  Unfortunately, the documentation did not suggest the useful command "vagrant service-manager env docker" which would have given useful clues.

So I was stuck.  I had to ask for help, which led me to find that starting via 'Servers view' allowed the Docker viewer to become automatically configured.

>             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>          Components: cdk, docker
>         Environment: CDK, as used in DevStudio and installed via Development Suite.

> * * This use case may be attributable to user error.  Please weigh implementation cost accordingly. * * 
> After using the Development Suite installer, the user arrives in a newly installed DevStudio instance but without clear instructions on how to use the CDK.  In my first attempt, I relied upon previous CDK experience and went to a command-line to start the CDK with 'vagrant up'.  This resulted in a failure of later DevStudio components.
> The proper trail is to go to the 'Servers' tab in DevStudio to bring up the environment.  (Then DevStudio components like the Docker explorer will properly self-configure.  This does *not* happen when the CDK is brought up manually as I had done.)
> Please consider, look for ways to prevent other users from taking a similar path.  Thanks!
