For example, the Augeas plugin,which a bunch of other plugins (Apache, Cron, etc.) depend on, can be deleted. The GUI should do dependency checking and not allow a plugin to be deleted unless the user also deletes all other plugins that depend on that plugin.
Setting as improvement. For JON3 we will make sure when deleting a plugin users are prompted to verify what they are doing
Added link to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683543, which is where we will be putting the plugin deletion warning.
I just tried this and its working as expected. I selected the JBossAS plugin and tried to both delete it and disable it. Both times I got appropriate error messages: You must delete the following dependent plugins also: [JBossCache 2.x Services, mod_cluster, RHQ Server, Hibernate Services] You must disable the following dependent plugins also: [JBossCache 2.x Services, mod_cluster, RHQ Server, Hibernate Services] For the plugin specifically mentioned in the description of this BZ, the Augeas plugin, I attempted to disable it and got this: You must disable the following dependent plugins also: [Aliases, Sudo Access, Cobbler, Samba, Hosts, Postfix, Cron, Apache HTTP Server] I tried deleting it and got this: You must delete the following dependent plugins also: [Aliases, Sudo Access, Cobbler, Samba, Hosts, Postfix, Cron, Apache HTTP Server] This appears to be working as expected.
