Hi,
I tested the updated developer setup with the new variable. One implication of this was that I had to switch to advanced mode when installing. Previously I always made the installation of the tester setup, using the simple mode.
Apart from this I also realized that I now will have a bit hard time knowing/remembering which choice I have made for this single tester setup. And what about if I want to have both a nightly setup and a release setup installed at the same time? Sure I can manually ensure installations into separate folders, instead of just picking the default location. But it requires some more work, and you manually have to create icons on your desktop so you loose some of the convenience that you get from using the Eclipse Installer.
Maybe it would be better to actually have different "product versions" defined (compare with the end-user setup where you can select 0.7.0, 0.7.1, 0.7.2 and current). Then you solve both the issue of making the selection available in simple mode, as well as making it possible to have both a nightly and a release tester version installed at the same time (and automatically getting icons on the desktop named according to the different product versions).
Any opinions?
