Description of problem: There is message: Pack [Name: Quickstarts and Index: 11] must be installed because it is required! during installation via auto.xml when no quickstarts are installed. Installation of quickstarts is not required. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): EAP 6.1.1 ER2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. install EAP, choose not to install quickstarts, generate auto.xml at the end of installation 2. uninstall EAP 3. install it again using auto.xml generated before Actual results: - "Pack [Name: Quickstarts and Index: 11] must be installed because it is required!" message is shown during installation - no quickstarts are installed (that is good :)). Expected results: - "Pack [Name: Quickstarts and Index: 11] removed from selection." message is shown as it is with other excluded components.
I have fixed the above issue by implementing two changes: 1. The quickstart package is no longer marked 'required' in core-packs.xml. 2. Added a "selectable" attribute to core-packs pack elements. If this attribute is present and set to "false", it prevents the user from manually adding/removing the pack to the installation files in the TreePack panel. This new attribute should be used when the pack can should only be added/removed via conditions in other panels, but not in the TreePackPanel as is the case with Quickstarts.

Verified on EAP 6.1.1 ER3. Installer is now acting as Francisco described.
