Che: Workspace related commands should be consistent with Che

Created on 5 Jun 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: eclipse/che

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Che Theia provides a set of commands that are related to Theia Workspace which is similar to VS Code Workspace.

While the experienced VS Code users are pretty familiar with this Workspace concept, it differs from Che Workspace. That may confuse the existing Che users as the behavior of these commands is inconsistent with Che Workspace.

At the same time, it makes sense to have these Workspace commands providing functionality related to Che Workspaces.

Describe the solution you'd like

Replace Theia Workspace commands with Che Workspace commands.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Find a good name replacement for Theia Workspaces related commands to resume them.

I was thinking about a good replacement for Theia's Workspace term, e.g.:

  • Workspace Roots
  • Root Folders
  • Root Folders Layout
  • etc.

I'd like to use Workspace Roots.
So, to keep the existing commands I propose to rename them as follows:

  • Open Workspace Roots...
  • Open Recent Workspace Roots...
  • Save Workspace Roots As...
  • Close Workspace Roots

@benoitf @l0rd WDYT?

I like the proposal @azatsarynnyy

+1 for workspace roots
it would be consistent to that proposal: https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/15347

All sub-tasks have been done.

Save Workspace As... - exports Che Workspace definition to Devfile #17239

why not just Export workspace definition to Devfile rather than Save Workspace As ... which is not clear ..
