I need a lot more convincing before I think this move and some of those proposed in 4423 are a good idea. More specifically...

I think these operations are conceptually similar:

- deploying new apps
- installing plugins
- extracting plugins
- extracting servers
- turning plugins on and off.

Plan creator sort of belongs nearby since you'd use it to get ready to deploy a new app.

I think monitoring needs to be its own category, together with (future) cluster management.

I don't think Tools is a good category name. The entire admin console is a bunch of tools.... how do you distinguish the ones you are putting in tools from all the others? "Debug Views" always seemed like a strange name but at least it indicated the category pretty well -- stuff you'd look at when you were trying to root around inside the server and needed hard to find info because something wasn't set up right.


I'd prefer to see discussion on the dev list with the entire plan you have for organization.

thanks

Move the Create Plugin and Assemble Server portlets from the Applications -> Plugins page to new pages under the Tools category, as these portlets have nothing to do with managing applications.
