I'm very skeptical about P2 in the downloader. It was created in the
past (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Installer) and never made

P2 - does require java to be pre-downloaded, no real integration with
the system (privileges elevation) and extreme vulnerability to users.
If it is an installer for the Eclipse IDE, it is totally fine to expect
that users are fine with having Java already installed.
FYI, for JBoss Developer Studio, we ship an Izpack installer which
includes p2 director and installs the product from an included p2
repository, after checking some preconditions. It's a cross-platform
installer which is working fine, and AFAIK we don't get many complaints
from customers about it.
