Description of core feature confusing
-------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-272
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-272
Project: Geronimo-Devtools
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: eclipse-plugin
Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.2, 2.0.x, 2.1.0, 2.1.x
Reporter: Ted Kirby
Assignee: Tim McConnell
When you install the eclipse plugin with the eclipse update manager, you get a
choice of Geronimo WTP Server Adapters:
Geronimo Core Feature,
and a series of versioned server adapters of the form:
Geronimo vX.X Server Adapter
When you click on them, they all have the same descripton:
"This feature provides the WTP Server Adapter and additional development tools
for the Apache Geronimo server."
This text might be customized to include the version number, or changed to:
"This feature provides the WTP Server Adapter and additional development tools
for {color:red}this specific version of the{color} Apache Geronimo server."
For the core feature, however, the text is quite misleading. Installing it
does not give you any working server adapter. So, it's description should be
changed to something like:
"This feature provides core support required for the WTP Server Adapter for
specific versions of the Apache Geronimo server."
It would be nice if the core feature did not show up at all in the list to
install. It is included by those version-specific real server adapters that
need it.
Also, not sure what these "additional development tools" are, or where the user
finds out about them, but they can probably be removed from the core feature,
if that feature itself can't be removed from the install list.
