Good times. Oh, and BTW, link files now only work if the target directory includes the empty, and seemingly pointless, .eclipseextension file. Good times.

I've come to the realization that in the new p2 era, you're better off simply installing everything into the eclipse root. However, you can now (3.5M6) use an existing install as a p2 repo when installing into a new Eclipse, eg., for when moving from one platform milestone to another. Agreed, it’s a mess.

Being able to apt-get install eclipse eclipse-jdt eclipse-pdt, using Debian's apt tools, through my handy apt proxy would rock.

I have installed Eclipse and some addons declared with ".link" files. If i want to update addons, P2 doesn't install updates in the addons directories defined in ".link" files but in its main plugins directory. Is there a way to choose the install location like in Europa ? I would like to know how to change the install/update location of addons.

Is there a way to choose the install location like in Europa ?

But won't updates to the installed plugins/features be put into the main installation as opposed to in the linked folder (As mentioned in bug 230373 - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=230373)? Making the entire performance irrelevant as you are forced to 'clean up' every time there is an update. Well, that is all nice and dandy.

As for the BPMN modeler we have asked to have it packaged as an EPP. I'll compare both procedures and will let you know which one is the best to create a product. Thanks Nick!
