Is it possible to create a portable p2 director package (or does one exist already), without eclipse.exe binary, etc.

I have an installer script that needs p2 director to drive the installation. Right now, the script is downloading Eclipse platform zip for the current platform just to run the p2 director. Ideally, I'd like to have a smaller p2 director zip that is cross-platform.

https://github.com/mbarbero/p2-admin provides a small (10Mb), standalone
product with "14 tools to manage your p2 repositories", including the p2
director app.

It comes with platform-specific binary launchers, but those can be
simply ignored and bypassed by calling Equinox's launcher directly. From
the installation folder of the product:

% java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director
The argument specifying what to install or uninstall is missing.
-help | -h | -?
Prints this command line help information.
-list | -l [ <comma separated list> ]
