[jira] [Commented] (ACE-540) Cannot add Artifact

["Marcel Offermans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15273761#comment-15273761 ] 

Marcel Offermans commented on ACE-540:
--------------------------------------

Actually this is not a bug, but a feature. Let me try to explain why...

When you add a resource processor to the system, we accept that as an artifact, but we will never show it in the UI. That sounds weird and counter-intuitive at first. Why would you not want to show it? The reason is that the UI was designed for a user to organise artifacts by grouping them into features, etc. And that is exactly where a resource processor is different. It makes no sense to add it to a feature. Processors will be deployed alongside artifacts of the type they support automatically when necessary. So beyond adding them to the system, there is nothing that you as a user need to do.

The UI also has a separate view on resource processors. There you should see it after you add it.

The fact that you managed to create an artifact manually via the shell is because in the shell you created a basic artifact that is not flagged as a resource processor. In that sense the shell is very powerful and does not protect you against so many logical mistakes.

Now can we improve on this? Probably. Feel free to come up with suggestions. Or further questions.
