There is no
deep technical problem with the installer - we intend to continue producing it
and work on improving it. This decision was really about whether we can get the
necessary level of polish and testing to commit to promoting the installer as a
"first class" way for the larger community to get Eclipse
applications in the Ganymede release. There are various details to work out,
and likely more will come up under wider testing. Prioritizing installer work
against p2 capabilities exposed to end users in the platform, and p2 build and
tooling support, the installer comes up less important. We'll get it in
the best shape we can for 3.4, and it will be great to have the EPP team
looking into the details of creating installers for EPP packages, since this is
where bundle pooling across applications really comes into play.

I think the EPP team is interested in doing
this. Do you see any technical
reasons why it cannot be done or is this mainly a coordination/timing
issue?
