Certainly interested. We've invested some thought into this already;
the uDig project has started the IP due diligence process on it.
One thing that I'm not all that clear on is how much of the NSIS
intellectual property actually ends up in the installer (i.e. there
must be some NSIS runtime bits included in the distribution). Is
this something that is relatively easily determined?

Hi
Denis,
if it's of interest: I'm using NSIS to bundle my RCP application
for Windows users since some years now:
http://openchrom.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/microsoft-windows-users-love-setup-files
I'm quite happy cause NSIS allows to build the setup.exe files
under Linux too! :-). The executable is build using a shell
script, triggered after a successful Maven/Tycho product build of
my application. Furthermore, I also have automation scripts to
build *.deb and *.rpm files. Only Mac OS X *.dmg images can't be
produced under Linux, cause the hdiutil command line programm is
missing.
If you'd like to, I'm willing to share my scripts.
Best,
Philip

Greetings CBI followers,
I've been wondering about the feasibility of building the
Eclipse launchers using CBI... I'm referring to the eclipse.exe
and "eclipse" executable files that start Eclipse.
If I am not mistaken, those files are currently being build
elsewhere, and are deposited somewhere (Git?) to be consumed by
EPP.
If these files could be built by CBI, I'm guessing they could be
made slightly more intelligent to help detect the
presence/absence of a JRE and offer usable help to our users.
This would be part of the overall plan to help improve the
initial user experience to Eclipse, as outlined below:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_User_Experience_2015
The actual bug to track this effort is:

Thanks for any input you have!
Denis
