Re: [epsilon-dev] Oomph profiles for Epsilon
|
Hi Sina,
Thanks for all your hard work on this! Unfortunately, epsilonDev.setup
doesn't seem to be working on my machine (Ooomph complains that it's
not a valid product) but epsilonUse.setup produces a functional
Eclipse instance.
A few comments and suggestions about the latter:
- the new Eclipse instance doesn't start in the Epsilon perspective by default
- we should probably also be installing Emfatic, GMF, EGit and PDE
- it should include all Epsilon features
> Hopefully if all goes well we can then (finally) release 2.0?
Yes - once we've finalised the Oomph setup files I'll request a release
review for 2.0.
Cheers,
Dimitris

I think I’ve finally managed to figure it out. There are two setup models for the Oomph installer: one for the Eclipse distribution (referred to as the “Product” model) and one for developers (the “Project” model). I have developed both (available form [1]), and so it appears that we can now easily create new Epsilon releases without having to manually create distributions. All we need to do is submit a Bugzilla asking for the setup files to be included as part of the Oomph installer, and whenever someone downloads the Eclipse installer, they will be able to select Epsilon from the list and get up and running with either the Interim or Stable release. At least, that’s the plan!
