+1 on this.

What happens if a user downloads (e.g.) Eclipse for Java and then
installs CDT for the Neon update site? Will that cause CDT update site
to become enabled too? I think it is desirable if it does.

No. We can't tell when users install from the CDT site whether it's a real user or a vendor's build machine building a product that includes the CDT (like our machine at QNX :)).

And I'd like to direct users away from CDT's update site, and really the p2 install UI, as much as possible. The experience is tough.

What I'd like to do instead is create an Eclipse Marketplace entry for the Eclipse IDE for C++ that includes all the features we put into the EPP package. And we'll make sure the CDT site is enabled after that. We should be able to install that into any other package.

 

Thanks,
Jonah
