Thomas Mäder commented on JBDS-3903:
------------------------------------

Honestly, I assumed that the docker tooling was installed by the all-in-one (didn't remember installing it), but I guess I was wrong there, sorry about that. In this case, may I suggest we improve the error message? The error message I get when I press "search" in the new connection dialog is something like "a connection was detected but is not active". When I google for this, I get nothing useful. If we are trying to use an env-var an it is not set, mentioning it would help more with finding out what the problem is.

> I have installed CDK, etc. from the "all in one" installer. Later, I tried to use Docker tooling. I opened the view "Docker Explorer". There was no connection shown. I tried to add a new one, but the system did not detect my default connection.
> Later, I ran "Docker Quickstart Terminal" from the start menu. Now the "New Connection" dialog in docker explorer picked up the default connection.
> As a user, I have no indication that I have to run the docker terminal in order to use the docker tooling in eclipse. If there are environment variables to be set up, the installer should do so. It is the reasonable expectation on Windows.
