Hello,

I thought it would be useful to get a fresh instance of Eclipse etc after adding a ssh key, so I looked for the docs for install.
NOTICE.asciidoc is useless, and CONTRIBUTE.asciidoc is useless as well.
The latter got closest by point at https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.escet/developer for "source code management, builds, setting up a developer environment, coding standards, how to contribute, and more", but that link doesn't fulfil its promise at all.

I knew we have dev docs, which I eventually found in "products/org.eclipse.escet.documentation/asciidoc". No idea why it's there, I wouldn't even think of looking in "products" for development docs.
Following the docs (except with the current setup file at the file-system), I set it up in a new directory, with the only connections to existing files being the java 8 SDK, and the .p2 repo.
I got as far as downloading stuff by oomph, but failing at downloading some of the files at dl-tray.com. A while later that still failed, so perhaps there was something wrong with the setup.

I deleted the unpacked installer as wel as the "installed" sub-directory set as target for the installed version, unpacked the installer again, and restarted the process.
It knows previously made selections, so the install is getting information from elsewhere, which also means it's making a mess in my other Eclipse installs.

Also, it now claims that the .setup file is invalid ("does not contain a valid product") even though I used the same file an hour before when it failed at the download, and downloading the file manually again and comparing gives no difference.
So I am fully stuck with this GUI giving me no information at all how it reaches its incorrect conclusion, and very unhappy that it spreads settings to outside the directory I set as install destination.
