There is no deep technical problem with
the installer - we intend to continue producing it and work on improving
it. This decision was really about whether we can get the necessary level
of polish and testing to commit to promoting the installer as a "first
class" way for the larger community to get Eclipse applications in
the Ganymede release. There are various details to work out, and likely
more will come up under wider testing. Prioritizing installer work against
p2 capabilities exposed to end users in the platform, and p2 build and
tooling support, the installer comes up less important.  We'll get
it in the best shape we can for 3.4, and it will be great to have the EPP
team looking into the details of creating installers for EPP packages,
since this is where bundle pooling across applications really comes into
play.

I think the EPP team is interested in doing this.
 Do you see any technical
reasons why it cannot be done or is this mainly a coordination/timing issue?
