Hi,

Is there a way to create a launcher shortcut to custom Oomph product in .setup files?

Eclipse installer do that, asking to user, can I do the same in custom products?


Thanks!!

Claudio,

In Simple mode, the installer always offers to create shortcuts for the
product being installed.

Thanks Ed,

Only using in advanced mode... If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me (by now).


But, 2 other questions...

Can I make this in advanced mode?

In simple mode the installer ignores my settings for installation folder! Is there a way to set default installation folder (base) for simple mode?

We've not provided the options for that in advanced mode, but we've
talked about it. You could open an enhancement request and perhaps
even contribute a Gerrit patch; the logic for creating the shortcuts is
in
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.installer.KeepInstallerUtil.createShortCut(String,
String, String, String).

Unfortunately it's using a totally different "Variables" page
implementation that does not reuse all the rules/logic that's are in
place for the "Variables" page implementation of the advanced
installer. I suppose that too could be enhanced...

Why this Ed? Sorry if I am annoying, I don't know if you are part of Oomph team...

Concepts of simple and advanced should be just for the end user, ability to perform some adjustments like network proxies and ssh keys...

But, besides that, there is other settings ignored/bypassed by simple mode? I need to make several customization on 3 different products (Oomph setups).


Thanks!!

I wrote the VariablePage, not the SimpleVariablePage.

Of course different user interfaces require different code. The simple
page doesn't give a choice of installation layout rules. It uses
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.installer.SimpleVariablePage.getDefaultInstallationFolder()
to determine the folder name. On the advanced page, it uses the logic
in
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.core.SetupTaskPerformer.filter(String,
String) to determine the folder name.

That's the only one that jumps to mind.
