I would like the installer to show "workspace.location" variable choice on the variables page if user starts installer with -DpromptForWorkspace=true option.

I've played with "Workspace" element and filters (the idea was to have two compound setup tasks with (workspaceName.filter=false) or (workspaceName.filter=true)) but Oomph complains that I can't have two elements with same "Workspace" id:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:VariableTask
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    type="BOOLEAN"
    name="workspaceName.filter"
    value="${promptForWorkspace}"
    label="">
  <description></description>
</setup:VariableTask>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0">
  <setup:CompoundTask
      filter="(workspaceName.filter=true)"
      name="promptForWorkspace=true">
    <setupTask
        xsi:type="setup:WorkspaceTask"
        id="workspace"
        location="${undefinedValue}"/>
    <description></description>
  </setup:CompoundTask>
  <setup:CompoundTask
      filter="(workspaceName.filter=false)"
      name="promptForWorkspace=true">
    <setupTask
        xsi:type="setup:WorkspaceTask"
        id="workspace"/>
    <description></description>
  </setup:CompoundTask>
</xmi:XMI>

Do you have any tricks how I could conditionally enforce that workspace.location is "undefined" and prompted for?

You'll notice in the user.setup the rule variable defaults like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:AttributeRule
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
attributeURI="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0#//WorkspaceTask/location"
value="${installation.location/ws}"/>

But there are other rule choices, just not way to force a particular one yet...

Note that you could also set the value of the workspace.location variable, and it could be set in terms of a variable that's prompted... I think that would work, but haven't tried. I'm traveling...
