overview on bnd/bndtools setups

This page contains eclipse-installer setups for eclipse with pre-configured bnd/bndtools and configurations. All setups are based on the eclipse-installer aka. oomph.

The oomph setups allow re-using existing eclipse product configurations like latest eclipse release for the setups. Further-more they can be easily extended with the pre-configured update sites and features. On appearance of newer versions of eclipse releaes and features they will be immediately offered as updates.

pre-requisite installation of eclipse installer/oomph

Press here to download, install and register URL protocol handler from eclipse-installer as a pre-requisite for all of these setups.

We assume that the locally installed oomph with a registered URL handler for the protocol eclipse+installer is available from here onwards.

To launch the eclipse-installer for a selected setup press either release or snapshot button, depending on the bndtools setup you want.
