[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBIDE-2246) P2 vs Installer ?

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

Nick Boldt resolved JBIDE-2246.
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: LATER)
       Resolution: Rejected


In Eclipse 3.6, p2 installer only exists for win32, lin32, and carbon32: http://download.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/index.php#Provisioning

So, unless we plan to drop support for cocoa32 and lin64, this is a non-starter.

We can still explore using the izPack installer to install from a p2 update site which includes a JBDS product; however, that's out of scope for this issue.

> Is P2 stable/good enough for basing our updatesites on ? 
> Can we use it to have a more finegrained control in the installer (eg. only install some parts?)
> Can it be used to install other things than plugins ? (e.g. JBossAS ?)
