Description

Merged.
Installers are built. Note: installers are using the old jdk with nonfunctional app manager. New installers will be made pending merge of IGBF-3113 changes.
Master branch is built using new Docker image and ready for testing.
Tested on MacOS 12.5 using master branch installer.
Reset preferences to default in IGB and removed .igb folder.
Able to successfully load data source through the endpoint using this URL: http://127.0.0.1:7085/igbDataSource?quickloadurl=https://data.cyverse.org/dav-anon/iplant/home/shared/BioViz/rnaseq&quickloadname=NOwlanTestT
Closing ticket.
As mentioned in the linked issue, opening the "Preferences" window at the Data sources level worked when I created a custom endpoint for it. However, http request failed repeatedly yesterday. Turns out it was just a caching issue and after deleting .idea folder in the Intellij IGB project folder along with the IGB folder did the trick and the http request went through the right breakpoints during debugging and returned the correct response.
The idea to open the "Preferences" window or the "Add New Data Source" window was abandoned because it could only confuse the user. Instead the data source should be added directly to the "DataProviderManager" instance (where new data sources are added to). To do so the instances of the "DataProviderFactoryManager" and "DataProviderManager" is required. New instances of the classes may work as the setters of these classes are not used in the AddDataProvider class (extends JFrame) where the logic to add a new data source is from. However, so far this is has not worked.
