Product setup does not set Preferences [message #1797864]

Hello,

I am trying to automate the installation of my Eclipse Setup.

I have written the following product .setup file: https://github.com/Serranya/abox/blob/68d0f482de4b26f5e98936b204f1fcbe86ec87d5/eclipse_for_serra.setup

Sadly the PreferenceTasks don't get executed. They are not even listed in the Oomph installer summary.

I am probably missing something. Can you point me in the right direction?

Preference Tasks won't (can't) perform until the installed IDE actually runs. So you should not expect to see them when running the installer. But the should perform whenever that installation runs with any workspace... Isn't that the case?

Yes. The preference task also don't run after I started the installed eclipse.

I found a solution. When I include all the Oomph components in the eclipse to be installed it's working.

I probably don't need all of the Oomph components. Can you tell me which one is required for the preference task to run?

Oh yes, of course all the Eclipse products include Oomph. We include the following task in the root of the Eclipse.org Product Catalog:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup.p2:P2Task
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup.p2="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/p2/1.0">
  <requirement
      name="org.eclipse.oomph.setup.feature.group"/>
  <repository
      url="${oomph.update.url}"/>
</setup.p2:P2Task>

This is sufficient to ensure that the preference task will perform (and that the installer installs the latest milestone build of Oomph).
