Re: [epp-dev] Mars M5 packages

["Chuck Bridgham" <cbridgha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My impression after all these changes is
not a good one.    

I added my +1 vote to the Automated
Error Reporting - I don't have an issue here - although it has exposed
many spurious exceptions that were being thrown but ignored in the past.
 
I suppose the priority to fix these
will skyrocket, as the first impression is bad right now.    If
the same issue has been reported...   the dialog will still occur
once per user.

I didn't vote +1 for OOmph inclusion,
and I should have voted -1 - I was still evaluating, and determining if
the tools made sense for the majority of users.  I really like these
tools, but I'm not convinced the entire set of plugins would be utilized
by the majority of users.
In any case the welcome dialog is another
issue.   Epp packages should not see this welcome dialog, and needs
to be turned off by default.   Many other examples from features such
as eGit, Mylyn etc.. had similar dialogs that we now suppress by default,
and can be activated if users need it.  We should not be opting in
by default.

I was also under the impression that
the " Automatically find new updates and notify
me" was
still being discussed with concerns over network traffic, and unintended
updates

I feel I need to vote -1 at this time
mainly on the OOmph inclusion.    I'm happy to make changes for
a respin.
