Hi Oleg!
Good to hear! This project is planned to be finished by the end of May this
year though.
Aha, I need to approach this in another way then. Are you proposing that I
add this feature in the Extra Tool Installers Plugin that extends
AbstractExtraToolInstaller (which in turn extends ToolInstaller)? By
extension points, you mean like BatchCommandInstaller and
SharedDirectoryInstaller? Trying to get a picture of the structure. :)
Sincerely,
Martin Hjelmqvist
