--------------------------------------
Need to check, but it seems to me that the p2-installer from repo linked above creates multiplatform distributions.
Having spent some time in the past with the IzPack installer, I find it very difficult to maintain. It's really an old piece of code relying on a technology that no-one seems to support anymore, and on technologies that are not the most comfortable for our team (Swing, Ant...). Migrating to newer IzPack is not trivial and require a big amount of work.
But I agree that this change doesn't require such a migration to a new installer technology, I'm just taking this jira as an opportunity to tell how much I dislike IzPack 4.

-------------------------------------------
One of the drivers of this suggestion is to avoid having to mess with multiple updatesites for the offline install case.
But it wouldn't have *all* of central unless we actually also add that into the installer - but then these installers need to rev rather often.

[~mickael_istria] the problem with the native p2 installer is that this would triple the amount of installers we would need.
if that p2-installer can run with pure "java -jar p2installer.jar" then yes that would be relevant.
btw. you are aware that our current installer does use p2 director to do its install today so the installer today can actually do what is suggested here. Just need to repackage it to use remote site instead of bundled one.

[JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17808) Identify which installed IUs are from Early Access vs. supported/tested versions
by Mickael Istria (JIRA)
[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ]
Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-17808:
----------------------------------------
Yes, it's because at that time, we didn't figure out that using certification id would do the trick.
Now, if it comes to comparing an installation with the set of supported artifacts, since the set of supported artifacts isn't set in stone and is subject to change independently of what user install/uninstall, I have the feeling that we'll indeed need a remote reference of what's supported, just like it seemed necessary at the beginning, before we started relying on certificationId.
However, the list of supported plugins is actually already there: it's the content of main JBDS site + Discovery (non Early Access) site. So this issue just becomes a comparison between an installation, and the content of remote sites.

> [~maxandersen] brought up a good point on a call today:
> we have no way from within JBDS of identifying which installed IUs were installed from Early Access vs. those what were installed from Central or another "supported" location.
> Thus we need some sort of UI to list installed IUs that are "Early Access".
> This could be... (brainstorming now):
> * a text file with the list of things installed from Early Access (features and plugins)
> * a set of asterisks added to the Help > About dialogs when browsing for installed features / plugins
> * a way to filter the plugin view (Help > About) to show only EA content (or exclude it)
> * ... ?
