Most Basic install [message #1709871]

Hello,

I am not completely new to eclipse, but I seem to have a pretty basic question.

The new installations seem to be complete packages oriented toward users with specific development needs or interests. I am used to just downloading the basic package and adding a few specific plugins as needed. But that does not seem to be an option anymore with the new installer.

Anyway, what is the most basic package I can download and install now? I don't want a load of extra stuff that I won't use or need. Thanks

As usual, I answer my own question just after posting to a forum (despite my best efforts before posting).

There is an 'Advanced Mode' in the Menu in the upper right corner (the stack of three lines). This seems to do what I need.

Paul,

Note that with Oomph you could definite p2 tasks that will automatically
install your additional favorite things in every installation you create
with the installer. E.g., in my user.setup I have

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup.p2:P2Task
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup.p2="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/p2/1.0"
label="VI">
<requirement
name="com.mbartl.viplugin.eclipse.feature.group"
optional="true"/>
<repository
url="http://viplugin.com"/>
</setup.p2:P2Task>

So that VI is installed automatically in all my installations.
