Mickael Istria commented on JBDS-2946:
--------------------------------------

During EclipseCon NA, some people demonstrated an OSS (EPL) project they have to create p2-friendly installers, based on SWT and JFace. This looks way more efficient than relying on IzPack. We should investigate around this tool and, if we like it, drop IzPack in favor of it:
