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
Created attachment 207830 [details] mockup here is an html mockup of what I would expect to see when clicking install button to a specific application.
Over to Marketplace website component.
I voted up. I have submitted duplicate https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411802 411802 No relevant information is shown when users clicks through Marketplace Install button @Benjamin Muskalla If this should be raise in other project, please give exact link where.
*** Bug 411802 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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
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

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.
