Hi, Susan.  Somewhat related to the update issue, I think, is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174515, which concerns how
users are notified when plugins on their machine have failed to load.  I
would really like to see some attention to this bug - partly because I'm
responsible for some plugins that only load on 1.5 or even 1.6, but also
because I spend time monitoring eclipse.newcomer and this seems to be an
ongoing source of problems there.
 
Thanks,

Subject: [equinox-dev] [p2] UI priorities for M3



Hi, everyone.   
One of the goals for M3 is to try to define the conent/scope of our 3.4
deliverable.  So I'm trying to balance our desire to resolve unknowns
with getting current workflows more polished.  I'm interested in the
community's feedback on the current M3 UI plan, which currently includes


- improving the install/uninstall/update workflow by providing more info
(size, time, invalid states, etc.) 
- polling for software updates and notifying the user 
- improved support for browsing repos (IU categories and filtering) 
- more info in admin artifact repo views 

(You can see the expanded detail at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_User_Interface#Milestone_plan). 

This is a rather aggressive plan but still does not address some other
big UI items, most notably 
- UI for rollback 
- presentation of licenses 

So if you have opinions on the pressing issues and priorities in the UI,
please let me know via this list, or annotating bugs you care about,
etc.... 

thanks, 
susan
