Hi Pascal,
Yes, Mylyn's discovery UI is pretty much what I'm looking for. The
missing part would be something that would allow to uninstall as easily.
Or another similar UI, listing only the installed components, to do just
that. Right now, having to go to Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation
details and seeing all installed components is not very intuitive. Since
we want users to discover experimental features, we don't want them to
get stuck if they don't like them and have to read doc to find how to
remove them.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll look at it and see what can be done
for easy uninstallation.

You may be interested in the p2 discovery UI.
In the attached screenshot you can see it being used by Mylyn.

Hi,
I am a developer on the Trace Compass project and I am working on a
feature to automatically install/update/uninstall experimental
features (Eclipse plugins in an update site). I was thinking of using
p2 for this of course.
My idea is to create a wizard that would list all features (in the
sense of Eclipse feature group) of the update site with their current
status (installed/upgrade available/not installed). The user would
select the actions to do for each, and then I would call
sequentially, if needed, the uninstall wizard, update wizard and
install wizard with the appropriate operation.
First, does it sound like a good plan? I started implementing this
and it works, at least with the install wizard, I haven't tried many
wizards in a row yet. Any advice on this?
Also, I will need to unit test this and would like to use the p2
testing facilities. We are using a target platform. Are the
o.e.e.p2.tests plugins published anywhere?
Thanks,
Geneviève
