I'm very skeptical about P2 in the downloader. It was created in the
past (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Installer) and never made into
real world. AFAIK it would suffer from the same issues as regular P2 -
does require java to be pre-downloaded, no real integration with the
system (privileges elevation) and extreme vulnerability to users.
I'd rather focus on opening P2 to 3rd party installers [1] and offered
users more OS-specific experience. No need to reinvent the wheel.
