Hi David,

yeah, if Denis confirms that this was indeed the case for my mirror problems, I 
will update the wiki pages with a section on that, explaining also how to 
convert the repo (the trick is to create a fake artifacts.xml which provides a 
publishPackFilesAsSiblings property and use this as format in the p2.mirror 
task)...

Cheers
Alexander
