As previously announced here, we’re in the process to remove the Central / update tab from JBossTools in next release. This work can be followed here.

That means that all the current extra features that can be installed via this tab needs to be available through a new channel. This channel already exists as p2 repo, but using Eclipse Marketplace Client is more close to what’s existing right now.

Most of those additional features are already present in the Jboss marketplace entry, so it’s just a matter of use it to install your favorite feature.

The missing create service feature that was available with odo 2.X is now back in this release.

Once you have created a service, you can link it to a component using a binding.
