Create an Oomph Product Customization from an Existing Eclipse Installation

Question

I would like to create an Oomph product configuration file based on an existing Eclipse installation. Is there a way to create the installation file as a kind of snapshot of the current installation?

Answer 1

It turns out that this is impossible with at least one click. Here is what I did:

• Create a new project.setup
• Check which update sites are configured in eclipse and create repositories as part of p2 task:

code:

<setupTask xsi:type="setup.p2:P2Task"> <repository url="http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.2.1.6/oxygen/repository/"/> 

3. Use the repository explorer to copy + paste some plugins that are installed and will be needed in task p2.
   What is it, now you have a new installation of eclipse.
4. Customize Projects
