Kind of new to the Java development game and I'm wondering if there is a way to create some sort of a profile or distribution of one of our Eclipse Neon IDE configurations. When a new developer start with my team it takes like three days to get everything installed, configured, and finally up and running.
Is there any way to create a profile or distribution that will speed this up?
A set of plug-ins can be installed via Eclipse Marketplace favorites at once and with the p2 director you can build your own Eclipse distribution. But if you also want to configure the Eclipse IDE and run tasks on start-up (e. g. clone a Git repository and import projects from the cloned Git repository), then probably Eclipse Oomph is the right tool for you. Beside Eclipse Oomph, there are couple of other tools to create/maintain a custom Eclipse distribution.
