Bugzilla Link
Goal
At present, in the "New Server" wizard, there is a hyper link "Download additional server adapters". This requires the user to click on it which then pops a secondary wizard.
The suggested enhancement is to have this be populated automatically in the first wizard in the same tree viewer, when the check box "Download additional server adapters" is enabled (the check box is enabled by default).
The rest of the flow remains the same. This is to improve user visibility to the additional server adapters.
New Flow
The user can see available servers on the first wizard page. Servers that have not been downloaded will have a down arrow overlay icon on the server icon.
When you select a server node which has not been downloaded yet, it will refresh it and do the provisioning to ensure the server can be successfully installed. If it can be successfully installed, the Next button will be enabled.
If the user is unable to install the server server (e.g. the server adapter is not compatible with the current Eclipse), an error message will be shown in the wizard and the Next button will be disabled.

The process will happen in the background to avoid freezing the UI.
When the user clicks Next, they will see the license acceptance page.
After accepting the license terms, the user installation will begin with a progress dialog.
The user will be prompted to restart Eclipse to complete the installation.
