I've tried the new Oompf thing.
There are few steps missing in the description and the screenshots do not match what I saw following the steps.
Missing steps:
First of all, the Oompf installer want be updated to the latest.
After that it want be restarted.
After that I had to expand "Platform" element to discover the UI leaf.
The "variables" page didn't show "Root install folder" without checking "Show all variables" checkbox.
After that it took a *very* long time to download M5 pieces. This must be mentioned, that users don't give up if it takes ages.
And now after the restart I'm still waiting for the UI repo to be cloned, which takes probably another hour or so.
But the main issue I have right now: it installs me M5 which is not suitable (too old) for my needs. How I can say use "nightly build XYZ"?
Once the clone succeeds I will report if the setup is useful or not. Also I saw that installer configures 2GB max heap - usually I setup 3GB on Windows and 4GB on Linux (seem that I cannot convince Windows JRE to use more heap even if it is the 64 bit system, has 8 GB RAM and uses latest greatest 1.8 JRE).
Kind regards,

Betreff: [platform-ui-dev] New Platform UI contribution guide
I've updated the instructions for contributing to platform UI to describe the steps for installing via Oomph:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute
I would appreciate feedback on the guide and the setup process itself.
There's still some things I'm aware of that I'd still like to fix:
- The oomph install is pulling in mylyn.
- It isn't setting up an API baseline automatically, so I've left the manual steps on the wiki.
- I've uploaded an oomph configuration to the ui git repository, but the main oomph repository isn't linking to ours yet.
The old manual installation steps should still work, but I've removed them from the wiki to avoid confusion.
- Stefan
