James can expand, but some things that I recall from a declarative system we built on top of the old installhandler code:
* copying files (ie., we package our own launcher and copy it to a proper
location... we also package vms as bundles)
* native operations
* creating icons in menus or on a desktop if available
* creating windows registry entries
* setting environment variables
* modifying files on disk
* chmod'ng things
* running arbitrary scripts (ya, I know, scary) like .bat or .sh's
That's all I can remember off the top of my head.
Cheers,

Please either add javadoc info or wiki info on the design of the
org.eclipse.equinox.prov.touchpoint.natives and . This appears to be where
install handler equivalent functionality would be performed. I don't need
extensive docs. I just need to know the plan so I can evaluate how it can
be used. We use the install handlers extensively in the current eclipse and
I am attempting to locate the home for this functionality. Also is Rhino
JavaScript envisioned to be the main scripting mechanism for the native
touchpoint?_______________________________________________
