Description Pascal Rapicault

There are cases where a failure during certain phase of the installation will cause the system to be left in an inconsistent state (bogus entries in bundles.info, config.ini, etc.). 
We need to make the transitioning from an install to another robust.

This has been fixed by reducing to one the number of times we are writing the eclipse configuration files and more generally this has been improved by providing more infrastructure to deal with failing installations.
