I noted yesterday about Where to Put Your WebCenter Producer Connections that the process for making it an IDE connection still started in the Application panel. Now I know why. I added another portlet to the producer and it shows up in the IDE Connection resources but would not drag into the application. Leaving off a few hours of frustrated Googling, I eventually went to the connection in the Application resources and discovered that the Producer had to be refreshed there in order to make it available to the application. Other than a reference point, I don’t see the reason to even have in the IDE panel now that I see how it works.
