RE: [eclipse-dev] Purposal for the packages problem


Ed, you're right on the money. To make selection of packages (features) from the update site easier, the update manager can be improved to, as soon as selecting a feature to install,  automatically select all the other pre-req'ed features avaiable on the update site(s) being browsed.

I think that Eclipse's update manager can fulfil this requirement -except- if the user doesn't already have Eclipse or they have an incompatible version. Maybe an RCP bootstrap app that would update-manager your way into a full install?
