Hello Oomph community,
so i have my custom .setup file. In order to install it , i have to drag and drop it into the eclipse-installer window.
However , what i want to achieve is that my setup file is there per default, so that i don't need to copy URL of it , or drag and drop kind of things. Is there any way of doing so? I also have uploaded my .setup file to the internet, maybe there is a way to write my url into a configuration file, so that my .setup thing gets displayed in the installer per default.
I explored the eclipse-installer installation folder, config.ini files and so on, but i didnt find a place where i could put my .setup file or a link.

Yes, once.

It needs to be in one of the catalogs, so unless we add it to one of the
standard catalogs, you need to add it to your user extension or you'd
need to ship your own installer with your own catalogs.

Yes, you can refer direct to internet hosted setups.

With -Doomph.redirection.* you can redirect the "standard" locations of
catalogs to different ones of your own. You could do that in the
eclipse-inst.ini.

Maksim,
We do this, for example, in our launcher
-Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->${file_uri:${resource_loc:/setups}}/
I.e., we redirect the entire setups folder from git to the URI location
of the setups project in the workspace, i.e., in our git clone.
So in general it's -Doomph.redirection.<whatever>=<sourceURI>-><targetURI>
If the URIs end in a / it's a "folder" mapping and redirects the entire
folder. Using this approach you can redirect the normal locations of
the catalogs or index to your own.

It will try to load it from the same folder where it loaded the file
that contains this XML.

You need to run such things under debug control so you get a sense of
how it works. You might put a breakpoint in
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceImpl.load(Map<?, ?>) to see
what URIs are being loaded...
