Re: [epp-dev] EPP Wizard Project 
Markus,
I had a feeling the P2 installer was that smart, thanks for confirming it!

Hi Gabe, that sounds great.
The installer.properties file contains only the places from eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org>, but the installer is smart enough to use the Eclipse mirror servers if the p2 artifact repositories are listing them in a correct way. E.g. if you are looking into the Ganymede artifact.jar (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/artifacts.jar), you will find a line such as this one 

  <property
    name='p2.mirrorsURL'
value='http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/releases/ganymede/&amp;format=xml&amp;protocol=http'/ <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/releases/ganymede/&amp;format=xml&amp;protocol=http%27/>>
which points to the mirrors. If you are using Linux, you could use netstat, iptraf, etc. tools to watch the outgoing TCP connections.

    Markus,

     I was able to run the wizard, select some packages, download the
    installer and run it.  I ran the installer, but it took a long
    long time to run and I had to stop it (I had to go home).  I will
    try running the installer again and see if it will finish up
    today. Sometimes in the late afternoon our bandwidth at the office
    seems to drop to a trickle.

     One thing I noticed looking at the 'installer.properties' file is
    it only lists eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org> as the source for
    packages.  Is the P2 installer smart enough to pull from our
    mirror sites?  If not we might need to add a step to the Wizard to
    select mirrors, otherwise when we launch the Wizard we are going
    to kill the eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org> site.

        Hi Gabe,

        this is very good news!

        I went over the list of open bugs of the EPP wizard and
        thought that we can update and close most of them. With the
        exception of bug 247613
        <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=247613>
        (feedback form) and 248569
        <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248569> (EPP
        UDC for the Wizard) they could be closed. I will check today
        and update the bugs.


        You wrote that you are now able to run the wizard? Does that
        include creating the installer, downloading it and using the
        installer to create a custom Eclipse on your disk?

        Regards, Markus

           Hello EPP Developers,

            I just wanted say hello to everyone on this list, as I
        have been
           asked to contribute to the ongoing EPP Wizard project.  The
        first
           thing I have been working on is reading (and updating) the WIKI
           pages for the EPP Wizard.

           http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Wizard

            Mostly I have been working on going over the docs on how
        to setup
           a development environment for working on the EPP Wizard.
        With some
           help from Markus I now have a working version of the EPP Wizard
           running on my development machine!
            I guess it is now time to start reading the open bugs to
        see what
           needs fixing.
