Hey Don,
You should look into using the product export faciliites in 3.4. Even
if you are not doing "products" and "applications" in the Eclipse
sense, if you dummy up these extensions, you can export and have PDE
create all the related metadata. Check out the instructions we used
for the Equinox Hackathon at ESE
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Summit_Europe_2008_Equinox_Hackathon
This is for 3.5 but they should largely work for 3.4.

am having great success using P2. I am able to use the installer to
install the SDK, I can use the metadata generator to generate metadata
for all my osgi bundles, I can use the director to install a customized
platform.
What I cannot seem to get it to do is generate the launcher executable
for the platform. I have a small set of bundles that makes a running
osgi configuration when launched using just a java command with the
console. I can see everything is installed and active and working well.
There are only about 15 bundles in total. I have managed to get p2 to
completely install this for me with all required bundles and it starts
normally using a java command. Now I would like to have p2 create the
platform executable (eclipse.exe on win32 or eclipse.app on macosx,
etc). I suppose I just need to add some IU the the repository and have
my root IU reference it, but I am not sure what to add. Can anyone
point me in the right direction? Or correct my assumption on what I
need?
