Trying to use oomph for the 5th time or so to setup a project running outside of eclipse.org.

Especially the projects under github.com/jbosstools.

In that I got a few questions:

A) if I go create a setup file for each of jbosstools projects - how do I actually tell my dev to use oomph to use it ? Seems like oomph is hardcoded to only show eclipse.org projects and no way to point to i.e. a github location of a setup file ?

B) how do I load multiple project setups into one install ? i.e. when working on jbosstools you might want to work both on jbosstools-hibernate and jbosstools-livereload ... for now seems oomph expect a new eclipse instance pr. "setup" ..how can I just use multiple ones ?

C) how do I even test these files ? https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring says to drag the .setup file to the oomph installer but that does not seem to do anything.

There are two project catalogs supported. They are both shown by
default; this is configured by the up right "catalog selector". So if
you want to register your project setup in the catalog, we can do that
for you. Alternatively, you'll see there is a + icon for "Add user
project". This you can use to add projects as if they are in the
selected catalog without actually registering them with us in the
catalog. Here the user can locate one on the file system or can paste a
URL for a web-hosted project set. Generally this should be a plain
text raw view of the setup file, e.g., this project is actually
registered in the github project catalog:

The project page lets you choose one or more project streams. Of course
the project setups need to be authored to be composable, i.e., if a
target platform is needed, it should use a targlet task not a target
platform task (because of course PDE only supports one target platform).

You can drag them onto the project page's tree viewer. Failing that,
the + icon will do the trick.
