+ In Beta1 we gave labels in the OpenShift application wizard some love.
+ We show you better descriptions of what application you're about to create
+ and what cartridge you're about to embed:

+ | Publish Right Away |
+
+ To create or import an OpenShift application in JBoss Tools you launch the application wizard that does all
+ the heavy lifting for you. This wizard creates the application and imports it to a new project or merges it into
+ an existing one. To then publish these changes to OpenShift, you get over to the
+ server adapter and tell it to publish your Eclipse project.
+ In Alpha2 you had to think about publishing and manually trigger the adapter once you had run through the wizard.
+ Beta1 now prompts you right away and asks you if you want to push once the import/merge is done.

+ Server adapter
+
+ |
+
+
+ | See it pushing while it's happening |
+
+ JBoss Tools offers you a server adapter to publish your local changes to OpenShift. This adapter does all
+ git pushing for you. In case of maven projects publishing will usually trigger a maven build on OpenShift.
+ This may therefore take quite some time. In Alpha2 you had to wait for this to complete in order to
+ see the results. A limitation in Eclipse EGit prevented us from showing you the output while it was occurring.
+ We improved EGit/JGit and contributed this enhancement to Eclipse. We are therefore now able to give you
+ immediate feedback while we push to OpenShift.

+ | Restart Application |
+
+ In Alpha2 we allowed you to restart an application from the context menu in the OpenShift Explorer.
+ Beta2 now adds this option to the context menu of the server adapter.

+ | Binary Deploy to JBoss EWS (Tomcat 6/7) |
+
+ If you want to deploy some binary artifact (ex. your application war) in JBoss Tools you simply drag and drop
+ your Eclipse project to the OpenShift server adapter. The adapter will then war and push it to OpenShift.
+ While this worked fine with JBoss AS and EAP, things didn't work out of the box for tomcat 6 and 7.
+ We now fixed this for Beta1.

+
+ | Removing Cartridges |
+
+ Removing cartridges may cause loss of data. This is especially true when you remove databases like mysql, postgres
+ or mongo db. Thus we now remind you of this potential risk and ask you to confirm this irreversible removal.

+ | Upload SSH Keys |
+
+ Various operations like cloning and inspecting your application logs require you to upload your SSH keys to OpenShift.
+ In order to have an even smoother workflow the application wizard will prompt you if you have no keys on OpenShift yet.
+ It will ask you right away to create a new or upload your existing key(s).

+ | Port Forwarding for Scalable Apps |
+
+ In Alpha2 port forwarding failed for scalable applications.
+ In Beta1 we now made sure that you can forward the ports of any OpenShift application be it scalable or not.

+ | Missing credentials when Creating Jenkins |
+
+ Before Beta1 it could happen that you created a jenkins application but didn't get the credentials for it.
+ The dialog that reported these was empty.
+ In order to fix this we increased the timeouts that made you miss these informations.
+
To make your experience even smoother in case it still fails we now offer you a link to the environments variables
+ in the creation dialog. This link allows you to easily look the credentials via a single click.
