This will be the build and repository that Orbit offers to those
contributing to Juno. Please move your build scripts (or those newfangled
"POMs"? :)  to use this new build/drop/repository.

The I and S builds produced during the year will be progressively removed
over the next week and by 5/31 I plan to have them all removed.  If this
exact date is a problem for anyone, and you need a few extra days to make
the changes required, just say the word, and what you need. Ideally
everyone would move in time for next RC, so in some of the common
repository reports, we can get a better idea if anyone is using incorrect
bundles.

Such as, the non-unique-versions report looks pretty good (for Orbit bundle
reuse)
http://build.eclipse.org/juno/simrel/reporeports/reports/nonUniqueVersions.txt

Remember, and this is always true, there is always a small chance someone
might find a blocking problem in the next RC (or two) that might require a
change in an Orbit bundle. But that would be extremely rare (and would
really need to be a show-stopper, no mere bad bug will do).  This is always
the case, just wanted to remind everyone, especially new comers.

Good opportunity to give another important reminder, especially for new
comers that applies for the rest of the year (dev cycle): Use only Orbit
R-builds for your releases (even if off-cycle).

Wordy version: For Orbit bundles, you (your Eclipse Foundation projects)
should only ever use "R-builds" in your own projects' releases, even if
they are off-cycle. For example, if you release in April, May, or December,
and use some I or S build, there is a great chance that bundle (not merely
the URL) will disappear, since it may require changes by the time the
R-build comes around, and the R-build bundles are the only ones we retain
indefinitely. If you do have an off-cycle release, and you need something
"new" in Orbit, that is not in an existing R-build, then you should ask, on
orbit-dev list or in orbit bugzilla releng component (preferably through an
Orbit committer) that there be another, off-cycle R-build of Orbit. This is
actually true of any pre-reqs you might have on any other Eclipse
Foundation Project, but Orbit causes the most confusion in this area (for
understandable reasons) so thought I'd remind everyone now that we are
quite happy to work with projects that need SR1, SR2, or even off-cycle,
R-builds. We'll work out the details as the need arises, but you need to
let us know of the need.

Thanks,
