Eclipse integration installer changes
« on: August 14, 2009, 05:35:04 pm »
If one is using multiple Eclipse versions (for example a PHP tool chain and a C++ toolchain) together with EA, the installer for the Eclipse integration/link only allows installation into one Eclipse directory. If another version is needed and you start the installation process then you are forced to remove the "old" installation, which you still need and use, before the integration/link can be installed in the new Eclipse directory.

Proposal: The installer allows installation into a new Eclipse directory every time you start the installation process.

- I don't know where it keeps the record of where it is installed (registry?) , but it could keep track of all installations by itself so if the repair mode of the installer is activated, it could ask for the Eclipse root directory one would like to repair, or if it does not keep track at all, the user is prompted for the Eclipse root directory when doing a remove/repair operation.

I belive it is very normal to have several Eclipse installations and therefore I think it is important for the Eclipse integration installation process to support that.
