Yes, but these two are not exclusive.

Remember the IDE is basically a multi-tenant system and each plugin has 
different install requirements/workflows - for plugins we 100% control 
we can (almost) add what we want but i.e. for docker tooling that is at 
eclipse.org we can't really wire in an understanding of Red Hat 
subscription model.

Thus what we'll (most likely) end up having is a Developers @ Red Hat 
preference page/wizard which will setup the red hat credentials and from 
there actively "push"/configure settings of whatever relevant plugins 
which won't necessarily know/care about red hat accounts.

Just like this CDK server adapter will need to automatically configure 
the openshift and docker connection - without the openshift and docker 
tooling knowing about the CDK.
