First feedback on oomph setup

[chrisrueger]

@peterkir thanks for the great work with this repo and the Oomph setups.
I did a first test and have some feedback:

FYI I took the liberty to enable Issues in this repo for now (we can disable it later if no longer needed). @pkriens

bndtools oomph notes

• about https://bndtools.org/bndtools.p2.repo/ (https://github.com/bndtools/bndtools.p2.repo)

• MacOSX
  -I installed "snapshot bndtools for snapshot development" via command line (because I couldn't get Oomph Web Links not working on Mac... I think you mentioned this in our last call)

"/Applications/Eclipse Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse-inst" \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bndtools/bndtools.p2.repo/master/setup/config_ecl-latest_bnd-next_on_next.setup

the oomph opened. Great 👍

Feedback

• can we default to git HTTP readonly checkout ?
  (works for everybody right away... credentials can be setup later. e.g. current ssh default did not work for me because I have not set up SSH github stuff... using a git GUI client and usually HTTP github urls)
• can we disable the "build" at the end of the installation oomph screen? Takes quite long... not sure what is building... maven / gradle plugins maybe?
• compile errors after installation. Lots of compile errors in Eclipse Problems view: Most compile errors went away after pressing "Reload Workspace" in the Bndtools explorer. Could this be automated somehow or display some kind of hint?
• Eclipse / Settings / Java / Compiler / Compiler compliance setting was set to Java 22. Can oomph initialize it with Java 17? Otherwise aQute.lib.collections.SortedList<T> shows a compile error (Duplicate default methods named addLast with the parameters (E) and (E) are inherited from the types List<T> and SortedSet<T>)
  I also had to change my mapping in Eclipse / Settings / Java / Installed JREs / Execution Environments / JavaSE-17 to my already installed Temurin JDK 17 because the one installed by oomph (/Users/me/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.macosx.x86_64_22.0.2.v20240802-1626/jre) was a Java 22 JRE

2nd approach via p2 repo directly

Also tried installing in an existing Eclipse instance with the 7.0.0 p2 repo url https://bndtools.org/bndtools.p2.repo/7.0.0/ at https://bndtools.org/bndtools.p2.repo/p2.html directly via Eclipse / Help / Install new Software (basically how you usually install stuff)

Worked like a charme.
