Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse 3.4 shape

I was thinking of having another link on the download page. For example, on
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/I20080415-1646/index.php,
 it could be the first link available in the Eclipse SDK section.

In terms of technology, I'm confident about the core aspect since the code
running in the installer is the same code that is being run during the
build to produce the SDK, so technically speaking it is tested on every
build. However on the UI front there is still some polish work to be done
and obviously some more testing.

Can you describe what you would intend by prominently available ?

To me it feels a "nice to have", but given the current p2 requirements for
3.4M7 and 3.4.0, I am not sure you have time to accomodate non critical
issues at this point.
I also understand it got little testing up until now...

Since 3.4 M6, the eclipse SDK can be obtained using a p2-based installer (
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4
M6a-200804091425/eclipse-news-M6.html).

We need to decide if this is a delivery format that we want to promote for
3.4 by making it more prominently available from our download page, but we
also need to understand the consequences of such a choice on the greater
Eclipse community. The two questions that come to mind are:
     - Is the installer something that would be put on the Eclipse main
download page (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) in addition of the zip?
     - If we answer yes to the previous question, does it mean that an
installer has to be provided for the other EPP packages, do we have time
for it or can we leave with an inconsistency there?

Thx for your feedback,

PaScaL
