[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3872) rename JBoss perspective?

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13199911#comment-13199911 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3872:
----------------------------------

Four things to clarify:

a) we only have the one JBoss perspective right now; the notion of adding more was a hypothetical. "Last installed wins" only applies if we start adding more perspectives.

b) as in this screenshot [ [^icon-titlebar-jbds10.png] ] the perspective name is shown in the title bar BEFORE the open view/editor, and BEFORE the product name. That's just the way Eclipse works. But the result is that on startup, it could appear to the untrained eye like you're running something called "JBoss - Red Hat Central - Red Hat Developer Studio." So I opened this JIRA to ask the question if we need to avoid that because... Branding Rules.

c) .Net/C# development in Eclipse? Possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6444625/c-sharp-plugin-for-eclipse but some investment would be needed as it appears that project hasn't been touched in a couple years, based on its tracker, and hasn't had a new release since 2010.

d) "it's entirely possible that a user will install DS without JBoss tools." I presume by this you mean some *subset* of JBoss Tools, not the whole thing; if you omit all of JBT from a DS install, you get a branded product build on top of Eclipse, and *very* little else. 

Which pieces of JBT would you see as something a user might want to omit from a default DS install? Over the years we've moved things out of the default install and into Central so they'd still be available but not installed OOTB. Should we move more things for DS 10?

> 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?
