Microsoft has released a Windows Package Manager (aka winget):

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-create#using-windows-package-manager-manifest-creator-in-a-cicd-pipeline

Can you consider add eclipse packages to this Package Manager? Simplifies the process of install or update eclipse packages to users like other package manager (yum, apt-get, ...)

There are some Package Managers in windows like chocolatey that add eclipse releases to his repository:

https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/eclipse-java-oxygen

Thank you

Please!  A WinGet install for Eclipse IDE would really rock. The present multi-step install is a pain. I am having to move away from Eclipse IDE for some of my Java training courses due to the time it takes to deploy Eclipse to student machines.
