Description Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2011-12-02 06:04:44 EST
Build Identifier: website

If we add the drag'n'drop button to JBoss Tools site users that click the button instead of dragging it gets directed to http://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=15557

This page says *nothing* about it is JBoss Tools that is being attempted to be installed - it just talks about Eclipse Market place.

Could this page at least include a beginning snippet  about what marketplace entry that is being installed and that the user should have *dragged* this to their eclipse installation ?

The page should actually have the Install button listed on this page so they could then try drag it again.

That is much more relevant to show than full install instructions for MPC that is default in Indigo now.



Reproducible: Always

Comment 5 Paul Verest CLA 2013-10-02 11:31:05 EDT
copy 

no relevant information is displayed about how drag-and-drop should be used
or what solution is being installed.

Proposal:
show this button again at the top of the page (solution id is passed) with name and link to marketplace entry
and 2 sentences how drag-and-drop works.
e.g. user should drop on menu area, not Editor area ( see picture at http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/list-tip-how )

Genie was silent for a while.

I have almost did one more duplicate  :

Click on Install button click-through instead of drag-n-drop does not show relevant page.

For example https://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=3146377 shows general of how to open MPC, but no link to original marketplace entry. 

There is tiny "Drag and Drop Install" section in the end (user need to scroll down to see) that easy can be overlooked.

It should show:

You came here by clicking on bla-bla solution instead of drag-n-drop.
You can try again  

and picture like http://www.nodeclipse.org/img/how-drap-an-drop-to-install.png
Comment 7 Darrell Armstrong CLA 2017-02-01 15:00:16 EST
If directed to the Marketplace Client Intro page and the solution ID is present, and points to an active solution, an additional information box is displayed with a link to the solution page/name and the install button re-presented along with some instructions so that they can try again directly from there.

example can be found by going to:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=1617241

Awesome, thanks Darrell!
Comment 9 Paul Verest CLA 2019-03-26 09:02:32 EDT
The introduction is good, but not enough if user does not know, that he/she should drag-n-drop the button on Eclipse IDE toolbar.

Current "Drag to workspace" is misleading 
as workspace is actually folder (directory) within computer file system.
