Description Christian Damus CLA 2014-11-10 13:32:50 EST 
As discussed on the forum (see attached URL), it would be nice to have a simple way to ensure that the Questionnaire dialog (as great as it is) will not be shown in situations where it is not needed, such as during JUnit test execution.

A common mechanism for this sort of thing is a system property, but I wouldn't prescribe that particular solution.  Whatever makes the most sense for the project.  :-)

I've added a -D option. With -Doomph.setup.questionnaire.skip=true you can skip the welcome questionnaire in both the installer and the IDE.

I've also made the questionnaire pluggable and factored the current implementation into the separate plugin org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.questionnaire. So another approach to skip the questionnaire is to not deploy this plugin at all.

Thanks! The new system property is working for me in the latest nightly build.
