feat: Create a Quarkus Dev Explorer in the IDE

Fixes #1175

[angelozerr]

I created a draft PR just to initialize Quarkus Explorer but it is very very basic for now. It displays Quarkus projects in the view and when you click on Start node it create a run config (or use an existing run config) to start the Quarkus application:

Please don't be disappointed, it is just a start of PR.

@mohitsuman @fbricon we discuss with @adietish and we think we could use this Quarkus Explorer to provide several actions like:

• Deploy to OpenShift
• Deploy to Minikube

Those actions could install IJ kubernetes / Openshift which will provide the code of the action.

• for user point of view, I think it can be very interesting
• for IJ kubernetes / OpenShift it could promote them.

The main idea is to use the Quarkus Explorer to provide main entries for Quarkus project like

• start Quarkus application
• open Quarkus application
• open dev UI
• add extensions
• Deploy to ...

@ia3andy here the current status of the PR

The explorer displays the Quarkus projects and click on Run... and run a Quarkus run config (created in memory):

The Run.. item is bind with the state of the Quarkus application (starting (process), started (the application is available), stopping (process), stopped).

When the Quarkus appication is started, the tree is refreshed and show available action (like Open Dev UI)

When Quarkus application is stopped, the actions disappear

@angelozerr @fbricon I just installed it, and TBH this is amazzzzinnnng I am stocked!

[ia3andy]

So cool!!!

@ia3andy it is just a POC and we wonder with @fbricon if we will use Services tab view to manage this explorer. So perhaps this explorer will not exist. It was just an experimentation.

@angelozerr you should remove the ms from the time (just keep the seconds)

I don't think the services tab view is as intuitive and visible?

+1 I agree with you, but:

• IJ Ultimate seems doing like this
• For us it will avoid maintaing a new view

Let us investigate Services view to take a decision.
