Yes, more documentation is needed, but the drive for getting everything
fully functional and with good quality for Mars has taken all available
waking moments...

So far so good. :-)

I'm trying to understand. What you say here suggest that ICE develops
an Eclipse-based product. I'm not sure how that relates to the
development environment in which you develop ICE.
As a point of reference, in Oomph we also develop a product, the Oomph's
Eclipse Installer. But to do development, we develop in a normal
Eclipse IDE and so the Oomph.setup is focused on setting that IDE up
with the right clones and tools for development. If you look at the
thread above "About the Product Catalogue" you'll see that we've
recently added an extensible product catalog as well and we've defined
http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/OomphInstaller.setup
to be able to create an instance of Oomph's Eclipse Installer product.
I imagine in ICE it's a similar issue, but I could be wrong. Perhaps you
need the ICE product to develop ICE and you can't just achieve that by
adding the ICE tools to a base Eclipse platform product...
