Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-3161:
--------------------------------------

So I see several steps to include org.eclipse.equinox.transforms in installer:
1. create equinox-tarnsforms requirement in releng/reguirements folder to download zip with required plugins
	(it looks like we have to add build for it because there is no built binaries http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Transforms)
2. add in product/buildInstaller.xml:build-installer target couple lines like:
		<load.property file="../../requirements/equinox-tarnsforms/build.properties" property="build.archive" dest="equinox.tarnsforms.archive"/>
		<property file="${requirement.build.root}/equinox-tarnsforms/return.properties"/>
3. add property definition in product/buildInstaller.xml:build-platform-installer target into <ant antfile="build.xml" dir="${product.build.directory}/installer">
	<property name="artifacts.equinox-tarnsforms" location="${requirement.build.root}/equinox-tarnsforms/${equinox.tarnsforms.archive}"/>

4. (optional) add in devstudio-installer/build.xml:prepare-distribution-properties 
	<property name="artifacts.equinox-tarnsforms"
	${artifacts.dir}/requirements/xsd/xsd-runtime-2.4.0M7.zip"/>
	just in case someone is using it
5.  add in devstudio-installer/build.xml:prepare-eclipse 
	<unzip dest="${distribution.dir}" src="${artifacts.equinox-tarnsforms}" overwrite="false"/> 
		or
	<unzip dest="${distribution.dir}/eclipse" src="${artifacts.equinox-tarnsforms}" overwrite="false"/>
	
depends on equinox-tarnsforms archive structure

> Develop a plugin which will be able to transform / invalidate other plugins in an installation.  First iteration could be just a core with a hard-coded list of plugins / extension points which we want invalidated.
> The goal here is to have all appropriate plugins in our installation, but disable the ones we do not want. Currently, JBDS removes the webtools jboss server-tools jar entirely, which makes the update site fail. What we need here is to have the webtools jboss server-tools jar IN hte installation, and loaded as a plugin, but have all of its extension points invalidated so it is effectively an empty non-contributing plugin. 
> org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.5.205.v200805140145  is the plugin we need invalidated.  We need it's plugin.xml to be essentially empty with just base <plugin></plugin> tags.
