Of course this can be refined and modified to suit your needs. Once has been committed, a badge icon should be generated and I can help you link like I showed for other projects. (But I travel soon and have little time this week.)

@merks I wasn't aware of this feature, thanks!

Can we experiment with that with the current PR somehow?

@cdietrich shall we try that?

[cdietrich]

We can but I won’t find time to try it out myself

If you check out the PR into a workspace, you can drag and drop the XtextConfiguration.setup resource itself onto an installer's title area to try it out.

Until it's checked in, the documentation link will not display the description HTML like it does for this page:

https://www.eclipse.org/setups/installer/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-oomph/oomph/master/setups/configurations/OomphConfiguration.setup&show=true

And there will not exist a generated badge like this one:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/www/setups/svg/oomph.svg

Both of those are supported only by the processing done by this job after you commit the changes:

https://ci.eclipse.org/oomph/job/setup-archiver/

Note that its important that the Xtext setup has a reference to the configuration as I've done here.

When this is committed, I can help further. (And it goes without saying that of course you can change it in the future should you think other ways to simplify/guide the user's choices.)

It's a bit ironic that a contribution intended purely to make contribution easier (a contribution that has no impact on existing functionality neither in the code nor in the existing Oomph project setup) languishes for a week. I expect everyone is very busy with other things just like me so I do understand, but, if I were average-Jane user, I would be a little more annoyed with every passing day

(a contribution that has no impact on existing functionality neither in the code nor in the existing Oomph project setup

this I could not derive from the pr without trying it out myself

[cdietrich]

Let’s see what happens if this is deployed

@merks indeed I had a busy week. Otherwise, I'd usually be more reactive O:)

Here is the markup you can use in any *.md file:

E.g., on your contributing page in this section:

https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#set-up-your-eclipse-workspace

---

The page it opens looks like this:

Using it, the installer advances to this page:

Because on the first page it selected this:

And the second page it selected this:
