We need to catch problems like in JBDS-4263.

I think I should automate test of installation from Central, because this procedure is quite time consuming.

before you do that might want to look at the existing automated tests we have:
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-install-grinder.install-tests.matrix...
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-install-p2director.install-tests.mat...

of course those are not based on rpm installs, but on eclipse platform binary or JEE packages. We could try modifying both p2director (headless) and install-grinder (head w/ swt) scripts to support doing an rpm install too... not sure how since that would require running as root

maybe you could just use the scripts to automate the process of doing the installs AFTER you have rpm installed locally

so ... partial automation
