Hi Thomas, That code in the installer plug-in was never intended as API, and I don't recommend it as something for you to be calling. I suggest just looking at the code in the installer as an example of how to setup and invoke the IDirector API. IDirector is really the API you want to be calling. The rest of the code in the installer is just doing various setup and cleanup that is likely not easily generalized. You can also see the director application for a slightly simpler usage of the director API (the Application class in the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director bundle).
On the other hand, the code in the installer that touches SWT is quite minimal and has been carefully abstracted out. The installer should really only have an optional dependency on SWT, since it can fall back to a headless install if SWT is not there.

What I envision is a cache that can use different strategies to decide whether or not the local content is up-to-date. One such strategy could be to compare with a remote digest of some sort (md5 for instance). Another could be to verify the consistency of a local compressed archive and be satisfied with the exact same size (not 100% safe of course, but in some cases its sufficient). I found the BlobStore in p2 and that will help some. I was under the impression that a "download manager" was under development that would address caching issues like the ones I mention. Are there more things under development that are not covered by the current team project set?
