Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2012-12-12 10:45:57 EST 
It is currently not possible to control the default state of the checkboxes contained in the install dialog. 
In an RCP app or product scenario, it is necessary to let the product creator control the initial state of these checkboxes through preference customization.

Patch to control p2 install checkboxes

This contributed patch targets Bug-396420. Using this patch it is possible to control the initial state of the install dialog checkboxes. 

To control the state of checkboxes, initial values must be provided by an overriding preferences file. 

Those inital values will be applied only when a new workspace is created.

A new patch to control p2 install checkboxes. This new patch is produced to fix the failure in p2 UI test cases, specifically in QueryProviderTests#testNestedCategories.
