[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Re: first JavaDeveloper testpackage

[ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx (Ian Skerrett)]

This is a great start.   Some comments on my experiences.

1. I would not call this the 'Eclipse Package'.  I would call it something 
that identifies it as the Eclipse package that is for Java developers.   
How about 'Eclipse Java IDE'.

2. On the Welcome screen, we should update the wording to detail what is 
included in this package.   If you want I can volunteer to provide some 
wording.

3. We need to remove the 'Powered by Instantiations' logo.   Sorry  :-)

4. For the license accept we need to use the EPL.  However, I think we 
should check to see if we actually need this step.   I will ask Janet.

5. I would make the default directory 'Progam Files\Eclipse\Eclipse Java 
IDE'

6. Did we want to include a step to select a Java VM or are you defaulting 
to the existing jvm on the system?

7. It would be nice to have some graphics include in the installer.   
Maybe we could take the Eclipse splash screen and modify it to say 
'Eclipse Java IDE'.

8. On Windows should we not create a desktop icon and make sure Eclipse 
shows up on the program menu?


btw, I did not look at how Mylar is integrated.  Maybe someone from the 
Mylar team can comment?
