Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-22734:
---------------------------------------

[~rob.stryker], maybe you missed that cdk was not started from the servers view at all. In that case neither OpenShift connection, nor Docker connection will be created.

[~rick_wagner], I would like to note that even if you start cdk from command line (and wait for it to start), you can then press the Run button in Servers view and the tools will detect it running already, will just mark it as Started and create the connections for you. Just in case you didn't know this.

I wonder how we can improve this. Perhaps at the end of the devsuite installer, just before devstudio is launched, we could briefly note that to start using CDK, you can start it from the Server view, once devstudio is launched?

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

> * * 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!
