Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2010-11-09 18:23:09 EST
Build Identifier: 2.1.0.RELEASE

If I've installed one (or more) PARs (well, web bundles) into Virgo, then it would be useful if the front page 'splash page' listed all the ones available as a bulleted list. Jetty does this (with Web apps) so that if you go to http://example.com/ then it gives you a 404 'but you might like to try one of these instead'.

Clearly these are all visible from the admin console, but having them shown on the main screen might be a useful addition to have. Clearly, you'd expect production users to not show the splash screen (which I assume is another WAB with a path of /)

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for raising this. Until such time as this is implemented, please note that the splash screen does link to the admin console. However, this function would be nice to have in a test environment if someone has the resources to implement it.

I'd suggest we change the priority from P3, but I have no idea whether P1 or P5 is the lowest priority!
Comment 2 Alex Blewitt CLA 2010-11-10 09:25:46 EST
I think generally people use P1 for highest and P5 for lowest elsewhere in Eclipse, but as long as Virgo is self-consistent then it probably doesn't matter. If you want community involvement, I suggest putting a 'helpwanted' keyword in as well, which is generally the way to document such things.

Thanks Alex.

This will be easy to do with the new Jolokia based admin console. I would also suggest adding some extra basic information to the splash screen such as environment, version, Virgo packaging etc...
