-----------------------------

    Release Notes Text: 
Using multiplatform "universal" installer on OSX, if you want to install in 32-bit mode, use -d32 flag when launching the installer or you'll get the 64-bit version (which does not include VPE).

> Installer should utilize p2director and JBDS p2 repository created bt product build. That let us to have one installer for all platforms instead of five.
> Size of installer is going to be more because of multi-platform bits inside p2repo and p2Director application included.
> Installer based on IzPack has to extract p2repo first and then materialize JBDS using p2 director application.
> Buckminister p2 director available from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/buckminster/products/director_latest.zip
> Literally now it can be installed like this:
> {noformat}director -r http://update-site-host/updates/nightly/ -d /install/target/directory -p jbds -i com.jboss.jbds.all -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true
> Installing com.jboss.jbds.all 4.1.0.201107071838.
> Operation completed in 482798 ms.
> {noformat}
> or for local p2 repo archive
> {noformat}director -r file:///path-to-local-update/jbdevstudio-product-Update-4.1.0.v201107141200R-H631-CR3.zip!/ -d /install/target/directory -p jbds -i com.jboss.jbds.all -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true
> Installing com.jboss.jbds.all 4.1.0.201107071838.
> Operation completed in 4827 ms.
> {noformat}
> Problems to solve:
> * How to track p2 director installation progress
> * Is there a way to install it without unpacking p2repo to disk first (as an option can try to pack p2 repo as a library and references it as file://installer.jar/p2repo!/)
> * How to install TestNG which is part of JBDS Extra
> * Would be good to have build for p2director app instead of using one from buckminister
> * ???
> Possible installation implementation:
> 1. Use director app and install it out of p2repo
> 2. Implements installer step based on :pserver:anonymous at dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt:org.eclipse.equinox/p2/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.installer
