Hi,
I want to create an oomph model with Index as the root element.
If I use the following wizard : File > New > Other ... > Oomph > Setup Project Model, it allows me to create three types of models:
* Simple Project
* Eclipse Project
* Github Project
Unfortunatley, all of these templates have the Project element for root.
Is it possible to add a new type of template (e.g. with name "Empty Index Project" ?) that allows to create a simple empty model with just an Index element as root of the model ?
If you're agree with that idea, I can contibute such template.
Best regards,
Axel Richard

We don't actually want to see a proliferation of indexes...

Yes, it's a Setup Project wizard.

It's meant to be extensible but we've not actually provided any
extension points for that yet.

I don't really see the point in providing wizards for index or catalog
creation. It's not a common activity and in fact we don't want it to
be a common activity. We want there to be an index with everything in
it and for people to contribute to that.
What's the point of creating an index?
In any case, it's easy enough to create any of these things by opening a
resource of that type, which you can do easily in any setup editor using
the "Show all resources" tool and then using context menu to open any of
those resources in its own editor. Then you can use Save as... to save
it anywhere and proceed from there, i.e., deleting what you don't want...

In our case, (see oomph headless topic https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/782061/) we use the setup model to allow to end-users to specify the installation and workspace paths and also additional plugins to install.
With the actual wizards, it is not possible to add such tasks in the oomph model created.

Yes but it is not very user friendly.

Such tasks could be define anywhere that's visible to the task gathering
process... I.e., in the index, the product catalog, the project
catalog, the project setup, the installation.setup, the
workspace.setup, or the user.setup... Wouldn't any of those places be
suitable. I imagine you must be synthesizing something to drive the
process, e.g., the installation.setup and the workspace.setup, so those
would be suitable places to inject p2 tasks...
If I understand better what you're automatically creating I can better
suggest where you might add things...
