			Since you're going to use the p2 director you'll need to get it. The easiest way is to download Eclipse from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_top">here</a>. 
			It has built-in p2 director and other p2 applications.

Otherwise you may not see the director application. Here's how to do that:</p><p>Go to Eclipse's Preferences-&gt;Plug-in Development-&gt;Target Platform. Below is shown how the view looks like when a default target platform is set.</p><p>
