| <a name="introduction">Introduction</a> |
| </h2> |
| <p>The Eclipse Packaging Project (EPP) is responsible for creating technology that makes |
| it easier for new users to consume the output of other Eclipse projects and for coordinating |
| the package releases together with the yearly release train. In order to achieve this goal, |
| EPP is active on different levels since the Europa Release 2007:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <b>Create entry level downloads based on defined user profiles.</b> |
| The project defined and created the EPP downloads of Java Developer, Java EE Developer, |
| C/C++ Developer and RCP Developer. These downloads are available from the main Eclipse |
| download page. In addition to that, EPP coordinates with other package maintainers the |
| creation of new package definitions and ensures that the packages are tested. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Provide and integrate the EPP Usage Data Collector.</b> |
| The Usage Data Collector collects information about how individuals are using the Eclipse |
| platform. The intent is to use this data to help committers and organizations better |
| understand how developers are using Eclipse. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Provide a platform that allows the creation of packages (zip/tar downloads) |
| from an update site.</b> |
| The core technology of the project will enable the creation of download packages that are |
| created by bundling Eclipse features from one or multiple Eclipse update sites. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Create and manage a new dynamic installer.</b> |
| EPP creates a new RAP-based wizard that enables a user to choose and pick software |
| components from other Eclipse projects. The output is a customized p2-installer that guides |
| the user through the initial install process and downloads the necessary software |
| components. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| <p>EPP creates its packages for Windows 32-bit, Linux 32-bit, Linux 64-bit and Mac OSX. |
| All of the packages require at least a JVM 1.5 because of the software components that are |
| included in the packages.</p> |
| <p>Source code used and developed within the project needs a JVM 1.5 or higher. |
