Disable "Launch Automatically" Automatically [message #1791092]

Is there a way I can uncheck the Launch Automatically option of the Oomph installer when launching or configuring the launcher for Distro?

We have an issue where I need to configure some settings outside the GUI before the user can actually use the software. Mostly varibles for 3rd party software that the Oomph setup model does not support.

If you distribute your own installer, in eclipse-installer/configuration/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui/dialog_settings.xml you can store the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<section name="Workbench">
	<section name="SetupWizard">
		<section name="ProductPage">
		</section>
		<section name="ProgressPage">
			<item value="false" key="launchAutomatically"/>
		</section>
		<section name="ConfirmationPage">
		</section>
		<section name="VariablePage">
		</section>
	</section>
	<section name="EnablementComposite">
	</section>
</section>

I have to wonder though what needs to be configured that you can't configure. I imagine it's the case that everything that can be configured persistently is stored in a file, so a Resource Creation task should be able to do the trick to create a file with the necessary contents. E.g., most project setups contain this task to ensure that the Package Explorer shows working sets by default:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:ResourceCreationTask
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
    content="&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?>&#xD;&#xA;&lt;section name=&quot;Workbench&quot;>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&lt;section name=&quot;org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.packageview.PackageExplorerPart&quot;>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&lt;item value=&quot;true&quot; key=&quot;group_libraries&quot;/>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&lt;item value=&quot;false&quot; key=&quot;linkWithEditor&quot;/>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&lt;item value=&quot;2&quot; key=&quot;layout&quot;/>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&lt;item value=&quot;2&quot; key=&quot;rootMode&quot;/>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&lt;item value=&quot;&amp;lt;?xml version=&amp;quot;1.0&amp;quot; encoding=&amp;quot;UTF-8&amp;quot;?&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;packageExplorer configured=&amp;quot;true&amp;quot; group_libraries=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; layout=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; linkWithEditor=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; rootMode=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; sortWorkingSets=&amp;quot;false&amp;quot; workingSetName=&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;localWorkingSetManager&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;workingSet editPageId=&amp;quot;org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.OthersWorkingSet&amp;quot; factoryID=&amp;quot;org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkingSetFactory&amp;quot; id=&amp;quot;1382792884467_1&amp;quot; label=&amp;quot;Other Projects&amp;quot; name=&amp;quot;Other Projects&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;/localWorkingSetManager&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;activeWorkingSet workingSetName=&amp;quot;Other Projects&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;allWorkingSets workingSetName=&amp;quot;Other Projects&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;#x0D;&amp;#x0A;&amp;lt;/packageExplorer&amp;gt;&quot; key=&quot;memento&quot;/>&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&lt;/section>&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/section>&#xD;&#xA;"

Thanks Ed!

We have to create a batch launch file that sets some user variables and then run some propitiatory scripting that will depend on settings selected before we launch.

I'll look at seeing if we can get Resource Creation to work instead.
