Toni Menzel commented on ACE-48:
--------------------------------
This is also something where we could show flawless user experience like that:
Make a generic Eclipse RCP App.
This enables us to easily distribute gateways in an OS specific format (on mac
native .app folder), so it feels like a native app.
Upon first start, you get a dialog with some easy settings (also good
defaults), and click *ok*.
Then the software is fully managed and can be moved/stopped/start like a native
app but with really instant updates (ace part).
And because you have a (minimal) UI anyway, adding a "reset" button that
incorporates ACE-51
Of cause Swing UI would make it too.. but point is: that does not make it much
better. People who start .sh files are usually the ones who also can edit
.config files themselves and hook into telnet to execute resets.
So this is more about a high fidelity gateway.

> I just set up some more gateways on different machines in my appartment and
> wondered if it wouldn't be cool if upon first start, a UI dialog would pop up
> asking for Server URL (maybe discovering some suggestions in background
> already) and Gateway ID (suggesting to use hostname).
> This "UI" can be a single Swing Dialog.
