Good point: these items are no longer grayed out however items that cannot be installed have the 'Install' button disabled. That should be a little more intuitive. What do you think? Created attachment 166708 [details]

Is there any indication as to why the install button is disabled? It would be nice if we could display a warning image next to the button in that case. *** Bug 311398 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #5) > Is there any indication as to why the install button is disabled?

Perhaps it would be better to just render a 'learn more' link instead? (In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #5) > > Is there any indication as to why the install button is disabled?

A tooltip makes sense to me. That would be similar to the behavior error annotations in Eclipse. > Perhaps it would be better to just render a 'learn more' link > instead? I think that would be confusing since learn more links to a browser page in other cases. The Xtext download is also shown with an inactive 'install' button. Without any error message I don't know what's wrong and am not able to fix it. When clicking the install button on the web site everything works as expected. Any ideas? Sven, the button is disabled for Xtext due to bug 313004 (composite p2 repository), which has been fixed in the latest MPC. I've just tried it and the install button for Xtext is now enabled. Please let me know if you continue to experience problems. Buttons should no longer be grayed out. |
