EPP/Obsolete/Wizard/Outgoing links
The outgoing links are used to present the option to continue the configuration of features with third-party distribution providers.
These Links appear on the last page of the wizard under the download links. They are configured in a simple properties file in a folder configured in the EPP/Obsolete/Wizard/Configuration.
For each provider there should be an icon in the folder mentioned above, that is referenced in the properties file. The properties file itself has the following form (c.f. http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.epp/plugins/org.eclipse.epp.wizard/data/outgoing/outgoing.properties?root=Technology_Project&view=markup)
extservprovider=External Services Provider extservprovider.description=Even more features and plugins! extservprovider.icon=external.png extservprovider.url=http://localhost/provider1/servlet?features=%s
The first part of the keys should be identical for one provider, the first entry denotes the title, the description is a small text that appears with the title, the icon is the image file mentioned above. The url is the destination address for the link, and should contain the placeholder %s which will be replaced with a comma-separated list of currently selected features. This allows potential users to continue their installation configuration with a distribution provider based on their current selection.
