Dan,
in the conference call, we talked about the installers created by
Instantiation and the possibility that they might be of use in this project,
as well as used eleswehere with Eclipse technology as Buckminster. I am
really interested in learning more about the installers. Where can I read
more the installers?

No problems encountered once I was past registration.

Hello Dan,
I've just downloaded the RCP Packager / installer framework, and after
some initial problems with the user interface found my way to product
activation.
The registration process failed (email is already sent), and I was
wondering whether it might be because I use the Eclipse 3.3 milestone
stream.
Are there known problems? Your website doesn't yet list 3.3 as a
supported platform, so maybe I could save myself some troubles if I went
back to 3.2 for the installer-part of the project.
Regards
-Urs

We don't officially support 3.3 yet, but it should work.
Send me a test case if something is not working and I'll dig into it.
See you all at the EPP BOF.
