Are you trying to create a product definition or a project definition?
(I imagine the latter because you have a targlet task.)

A quick note:
Turns out I had performed the installation incorrectly. I dragged and dropped the .setup file so that it showed up in <user>, but then didn't click on it correctly so that it was the installation used. Instead, one of the predefined products was installed. Having tried it again correctly, PyDev etc. and its custom settings installed just fine. It requires some tweaking on my part, but it's all good otherwise.
Any suggestions on making the installation easier for the typical first-year computer science student? The current advanced-mode / drag-drop-select approach works, but seems rather cumbersome.
Ed, thank you very kindly for your comments and questions. The only thing I'll ask is whether, given our needs, I should be working with project or product setups. I've read over their descriptions in the Help, but I'm still not completely clear on which approach is best for me.

I would create a project setup if you want the PyDev sources to appear in the workspace to enable PyDev contributors to
work on them. If you want to enable Python developers to work on their own Python projects it's probably best to offer
them a product setup that installs just their IDE.
