- On first start, prompt the user with a customization wizard that let the user add more plugins to his Eclipse. For example, it could ask questions about the language being used, the SCM, etc.

That would be an interesting approach and a good alternative to using installer: Ship a single vanilla Eclipse product, and have a "your Eclipse top-ins" wizard opening p2-director on the release train + Market Place so that end-users could decide what they want to install. The basics of an IDE configurations (dev language, frameworks, SCM, Mylyn & trackers...) could have a dedicated page.
