Answer 1

Find CoreSystemSetup class in your core extension to hook ServiceLayer code into the Hybris initialization and update life-cycle events. If you don't have, create the one.

Now, inside SystemSetup class, you need to define a method using @SystemSetupParameterMethod

Like

@SystemSetupParameterMethod
public List<SystemSetupParameter> getSystemSetupParameters()
{
    final List<SystemSetupParameter> params = new ArrayList<SystemSetupParameter>();

    final SystemSetupParameter customDataParameter = new SystemSetupParameter("createDemoUser");
    customDataParameter.setLabel("Create demo Users?");
    customDataParameter.addValue("true");
    customDataParameter.addValue("false", true);
    params.add(customDataParameter);

    return params;
}

Now you can fetch user selected value inside createProjectData(@SystemSetup(type = Type.PROJECT, process = Process.ALL))

Like

@SystemSetup(type = Type.PROJECT, process = Process.ALL)
public void createProjectData(final SystemSetupContext context) throws Exception
{
    LOG.info("-----> createCustomData : " + context.getParameter(CoreConstants.EXTENSIONNAME + 
        "_createDemoUser"));
}
