RE: [wtp-dev] Facet preset and wizard enhancement request

Jay,

 

Thanks for your suggestion and screen mockups. Improving discoverability of the presets feature has come up before and the idea of making it accessible early on the first page definitely has potential. I posted some comments to Bugzilla 126242. If anyone has comments on this, please post them directly to the bug instead of replying here so that all of the comments are preserved.

Subject: [wtp-dev] Facet preset and wizard enhancement request

 


I've opened Bugzilla 126242 and 126243 with a suggestion and request for an enhancement to facet presets and the project wizards.

Here is the text and screen mockups from 126242.  Please comment in the defect.


This is a request to improve the usability of the various WTP project wizards.
My focus is on the Dynamic Web Project wizard but this could apply to all
project types.

The request is to move the facet preset selection from the second page of the
wizard to the first page and present it more as a "project type" configuration.
Example Web project types might be a Basic Web project (with no additional
facets defined), a JavaServer Faces project, or a Struts Web project.

This wizard work would be in conjunction with an enhancement of the facet
preset extension point so that an icon and description could be provided for
each preset.

In order to make this use of facet presets effective, presets should be defined
at the product offering level, so that products building on top of WTP
determine which facet presets (project types) they want available to their
users.





Thanks,

Jay
