Hi Charles,
Yes, there have been quite some discussion about the *product* setup files (for end-users) and *project* setup files (for developers). Both are currently placed in the directory that you refer to.
Initially Celiné proposed to change the name of this directory, but as I pointed out in the Gerrit change for that update we needed your input to whether this was okay or not, since it would have an impact on the installation instructions, as well as users that already have followed the instructions and now have the Eclipse installer setup to reference the current location (those references will become broken if we change the directoy name). So it is not about changing or impacting the setup file itself, it is the external reference to the setup file that will change if we change the name of the directory in which it is placed. Since then Celiné have reverted that proposed change, but I have not seen any response to Celiné why she reverted or if she is okay with keeping the current name.
I think that we need Celíné's input regarding her view on the name of this directory, and if she still feels that it is important to change (Christian indicated that he could not see any issue with having a - in the name, which was what Celiné argued was not allowed to the naming rules of directories for plugin projects). And we need your input if it is okay to change the name. It will have an impact on the Wiki (not the setupfile itself). And do we see an issue with impacting any possible existing users that already have setup their Eclipse Installer to reference the setup file, since those users will be forced to setup Eclipse Installer once again. I cannot judge if we see that as an issue or not.
