How to make Eclipse IDE distribution [message #1234506]

There is Nodeclipse project http://www.nodeclipse.org/ that is a set of Eclipse plugins. I want to make Eclipse distribution for all major OSes that would have Eclipse SDK/Standard as base.

There is an Eclipse plugin project with product definitions. I got hint that org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench should be included (in .product?).

What is full list of plugins to be included? (Where exactly to check?)
and how to accomplish building this Eclipse IDE distribution?

The best is to use the SDK and install additional bundles using the
p2-director.

I've written myself a small ant addon which allows to assemble SDKs very
easily.

See https://github.com/tomsontom/distrobuilder and an example how i
build the e(fx)clipse distro

p2 director is direction to try.

Here are some useful links
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Director_application
- http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html
- http://blog.vogella.com/.../installing-eclipse-features-via-the-command-line-with-%20the-p2-director/%20%E2%80%8E

I wonder what is profile and what does SDKprofile imply?
