Todd Mancini commented on JBDS-3872:
------------------------------------

Red Hat Developer Studio is a product which captures all current and many future development scenarios. That does not mean that everything suddenly has to be renamed. For example, if the user elects to include the JBoss tools in their installation (they really don't have a choice today anyway), then it's fine for them to get a perspective with 'JBoss' in the name. If the user installs our container tooling, then, sure, they may also get a 'Red Hat Container Tools' perspective (I'm just making up names). Later, if we had .NET tools, maybe their would be a '.NET' perspective. But no perspective needs to be named "Red Hat Developer Studio" or anything along those lines; as long as the perspective name makes it reasonably easy for someone to know what it is, that's good. [Short answer: no need to rename the current JBoss perspective. It's name seems appropriate to me.]

Nick says that whatever perspective is installed last becomes the default. Okay, I guess that's fine for now. Note that if we have an installer which gives the user fine-grained choices, it's entirely possible that a user will install DS without JBoss tools. Or without container tools. Or without [pick your favorite tool here]. Similarly, they could choose any combination of the available tools and capabilities. So it might be nice to think about a saner approach to the 'default perspective', but 'last installed wins' works for me, for now.

> Should we rename the default perspective that opens OOTB in devstudio so it's not the "JBoss Perspective? Reason I ask is that it's the first word you see in the titlebar when you fire up DS for the first time:
> !icon-titlebar-jbds10.png!
> We're rebranding Central, the product, and everything in Devstudio. Should we also rename the JBoss perspective?
