Hi Patrik,
We've discussed evolving the installer to be more like a package manager, e.g., a facility that not only installs new
IDEs, but also knows, repairs, manages, and launches existing ones. We think this idea makes perfect sense, but we
haven't established an exact timeline for this effort, yet.
More comments below...
Cheers

Certainly, it's all open source ;-)

Nope ;-(

For now, only on Windows we provide a special (i.e., not jus the normal Eclipse native) launcher. The C code is mostly
contained in http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.extractor .
