To test the user experience on Windows, I created three accounts:

• nboldt (my own admin user)
• dummy (a standard user)
• kid (a child user, which is a standard user but with Family Safety logging - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-8/create-child-account )

Both the child and standard users were able to install JBDS into their own home folders and perform an installation from Central:

However, there are problems when using an Admin user-installed shared install folder for JBDS.

Steps to repro:

As nboldt / admin user

• install JBDS 8.0.0.Beta2 (B104) into W:\shared-install\jbdevstudio (using default ownership/permissions)

As dummy / standard user

• Log in
• Launch the shared JBDS
• Install something from Central

PROBLEM: standard user should not be able to install new features into the shared install folder

As kid / child user

• Log in
• Launch the shared JBDS
• Noted that the suggested path for workspace was the one last used by dummy user, to which that user doesn't have read permission

PROBLEM: should default to current user's home dir, not another user's previous workspace selection
