How to force the installer to unpack itself [message #1776837] |

Hi all,
I am having difficulties to reference an online .setup file with authentication [1]. The file is served from a company-hosted Bitbucket server that requires authentication. The URL looks like this:
https://<server>/projects/<bitbucket-project-name>/repos/<repo-name>/raw/setup/custom-ide.setup?at=refs%2Fheads%2Ffeatures%2Fsetup
When trying to add a user project with above URL, an error dialog saying "The URI ... does not contain a valid project." is shown. Since no login information is request, my suspicion is that user credentials are missing.
In order to diagnose the actual cause of the problem, I would like to run the Eclipse Installer with -Doomph.setup.ecf.trace=true. I have read somewhere that the installer can be advised to unpack itself so that I could edit the eclipse.ini file. However, I cannot find the corresponding option. I vaguely remember a confirmation dialog when switching to advanced mode where I once declined 'unpacking' the installer. And now I it seems impossible to revert this decision.
Removing the installer settings/caches that I could find (~/.eclipse, ~/.p2) doesn't seem to help. Could you tell me what (else) needs to be done?
Kind regards,
Rüdiger
