could installation of Teiid Designer be made simpler via p2 metadata <references> to upstream sites? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-1843 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1843 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Bug Components: Build, Documentation, Usability Affects Versions: 8.2 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Mark Drilling Fix For: 8.4 Attachments: InstallError.png, TEIIDDES1843.png, TEIIDDES1843_2.png Current instructions for installing Teiid Designer 8.2 [1] involve multiple steps, installs, and restarts of Eclipse. This is more complex than it needs to be. [1] https://www.jboss.org/teiiddesigner/downloads Instead, the Teiid Designer update site could simply reference the upstream URLs that it needs to perform the installation, and as long as all of Teiid Designer's features & plugins properly define dependencies on the required upstream features and plugins on these update sites, installation should be able to proceed from a single URL, rather than a handful. It would allow installation via a single step, rather than several iterative steps. I'll attach a PR to demonstrate this.
