Display MicroProfile logo for boosters that use it
MicroProfile is becoming a recognized specification in the market. There are 7 commercial implementations of it including Red Hat's, which is based on Thorntail.
Including the MicroProfile logo next to the Thorntail logo for all boosters that use our MicroProfile implementation would make it known to any Launcher user that we, Red Hat, have a MicroProfile implementation. The Launcher gives us a great opportunity to market our implementation of MicroProfile by including its logo in every booster that uses it.
For example, the Health Check booster uses MicroProfile. It would be great to display the MicroProfile logo, next to the Thorntail logo.
The booster for the "Health check" mission currently displays the following:

What I'm requesting would display something like the following:

By the way, you can find the MicroProfile logos at the following location: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B7PK4ZIk1mjAcTlaODNuZkJXczA

It'll be helpful for users to know that a runtime complies with a given spec.
I'd recommend some way that we can signal a runtime is a part of a spec without dual-logoing the thing too aggressively. For instance, Thorntail (and Swarm?) implementations adhere to MicroProfile, EAP, when we add it, is JavaEE or JakartaEE certified.
Maybe that becomes a badge on the runtime logo itself? An overlay?
Open to thoughts for how we express this without overwhelming the UX.
Small nit on the initial description, but I'd like to be clear:
The Health Check booster doesn't use MicroProfile. Runtimes may be MicroProfile-compliant. In which case any Booster/Starter implementations using a compliant runtime would get the flag requested here. For instance, the Vert.x implementation of Health Check: not MicroProfile compliant.
A badge like what's done with the level (Advanced) would make more sense IMHO.
I thought the booster was the runtime and the mission was the high level use case, e.g. Health Check would be the mission and Thorntail runtime would be one of its boosters.
The Thorntail Health Check runtime uses MicroProfile; I included the link to its pom.xml in my original request. Not sure why you say it doesn’t.
At any rate, if you could display the MicroProfile logo for any runtime that uses it similar to the way you display “Advanced” next to a mission, that would be great.
Thank you, Cesar
