Description

Currently when OpenShift extension is started, the Activation time is too long and all the views are in refresh state at same time. This delays the Activation and users have to wait to even Login.

We need to device a strategy of loading the view in some particular order so that Activation is faster and Application Explorer View is loaded first. Once that view is ready, in background we can load the other views.

Research direction

Start at the extension activation entry point and trace how the Application Explorer View and the other views enter their refresh state. Define an activation order that makes Application Explorer ready first and moves the remaining views to background loading. Done means activation no longer waits for all views and users can reach Login sooner.
