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

@Max
> But I get that if you just want to test "does all features on this specific list of sites install all together" then sure - thats probably easier to do.

Yes, that's why we'll test because that's why end-users and QA people do: to test updates, they go to UI, add the new site, select all from this site and install.
The provided SWTBot test + scripts to install everything from site A then everything from site B then... does it through UI. It's indeed slower than p2 director because p2 UI makes much more work (updates).

@Nick
> For all the rabid "do everything with Maven" I've been seeing lately, I'm surprised to see bash here.
You got me ;)

> Why not use Maven/Tycho to run p2.director?
Because it uses a UI bot test that performs directly on p2 UI.
This script "orchestrates" installations: it installs everything from 1st site, then stop Eclipse; then install everything from 2nd site, then stops Eclipse;... then install everything from site N and stops Eclipse. The script fails whenever something cannot be installed.

> using the eclipserun-plugin to do the install, would not a Maven solution be better than being tied to Bash, and losing out on Windows platform install testing?

You're totally right. I'll work on that. But I we will run the eclipserun-plugin several times (once for each site) in order to mimic how end-users do installations and updates.
