| [m2e-dev] Search for lifecycle mapping as part of import / create workflow |
Hello, I'd like to get some discussion and feedback on this issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=335701Igor did a prototype in current HEAD. I've played with it today and here's my comments/ideas. 1. analyzing the POMs takes too long. For a wizard that is. I've had like 100 of projects imported at once and I had to wait a significant amount of time. I'm not saying it's a show stopper for the feature but it's a significant user annoyance point. 2. I was surprised that the discovery server was not contacted automatically on the second panel and I had to click the "search markertplace" button. what is the expected user interaction here? is there anything to do without the results from the markertplace? 3. is the discovery wizard panel considered optional in the wizard? to the ui panel itself a. I've this idea that we could reverse the displayed tree (currently it's project at the top with mappings below) If we display the errors (or plain decision points) at the top of the tree structure and projects where the problem occurs below it, we have less items for the user to go through and ideally the user could decide on one problem across projects in one go (eg. decide which war plugin integration to use or to install a plugin connector for a code generating maven plugin) b. it's still unclear to me what are the actions and decisions user is supposed to take in the panel.
