Ian,
What Andy and Mike are suggesting regarding the marketplace goes a step further than having a Paho entry on the Marketplace (which is a great thing already, don’t get me wrong!). The idea would be to have an entry dedicated to the MQTT UI plugin, where in addition to the description etc of the project, you would also indicate the URL of the p2 repository and feature ID of the tool. That way, people could install the tool directly by drag and dropping from the web browser to Eclipse (see e.g. [1] and the « Install » button on the lhs), or could search for « paho » or « mqtt » in the Marketplace right from their Eclipse IDE (entry in the Help menu).
HTH! Benjamin
Andy,
I added Paho as a whole to the Eclipse Marketplace in June

OK so let's be clear on the two parts to this
thread!
1. Our existing Java GUIs.
I had planned to do a screencast showing how to install the
Eclipse plugin at the time of 1.0 release but didn't get it
done. We need to promote it more; we might need help on
getting it into the Marketplace as I don't think the
committers have previously been through that process.
We also have the client tool which is standalone / non-RCP
/ doesn't need Eclipse. Also not well promoted / known, lots
of people still use IA92 which is essentially the same thing
but built on much much older client code.
2. mqtt-spy
I love it, I think it's perfectly valid to include as an
alternative, and we'd welcome (I think) the contribution.
Thanks Kamil! Any questions for us as a team?
Andy
