Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2010-08-11 06:30:37 EDT
Here is an enhancement request, that I would like to hear the MPC community's opinion on:

As an Eclipse user, I have successfully used the MPC to install a solution locally. I now want to recommend my solution(s) to other colleagues or team members, such that it is very easy for others to add the same solution to their Eclipse installations as well.

Acceptance criteria:
- Allow "exporting" information about my installed solution into E-Mail
- Allow "importing" such information into a different install easily
- Imported solution installs with exactly the same version as exported one
- Can export/import multiple solutions at once, such that a complete install
  can be replicated easily
  - Allow importer to deselect parts of what has been exported
- Solutions(s) that already exist in the importer's installation are 
  skipped or updated to the exported version

Additional should have:
- Provide a way to avoid re-downloading the same artifact bits over and over
  again.

accidentally filed bug 545782, before reading this. In other words: Yes, highly desirable.
