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

{quote}Not sure we can (easily) detect the required features have been downloaded but not installed.{quote}
IIRC, the restart isn't required by p2. It's there because many plugins consuming extensions load them only once per instance and cannot see contributions added on the fly, so many parts of the IDE won't notice new contributions brought by newly installed software, leading to a confusing state for users.

Maybe the dialog should tell more at that point. "This example wizard requires additional feature to be installed. Clicking OK to install the required feature and then restart your IDE. After restart, you'll be able to use this example wizard."

> Steps to recreate:
> * After a clean install, from Central install create a project such as a Java EE project 
> * Observe the dialog in the attached screenshot - after the required packages are installed the user is returned to Central - as a user I would have expected to have had the project created automatically after the required packages were installed
