I think this is because we changed to use maven-antrun-plugin instead of
the maven-dependency-plugin. I guess one advantage is that with the
antrun plugin we can grab eclipse zip files directly from an Eclipse
repo which isn't maven 2 format yet. It used to be that Sachin has to
host the eclipse zip files on his personal apache page.

I pulled down the j2g trunk last night in an attempt to look at the
issues raised by Ted Kirby about compile failures. When I built this, I
found that the status information provided when downloading Eclipse and
other prerequisites had changed. It used to display the total file
size, plus how much had already been downloaded. I think it might have
also showed the transfer speed but I'm not sure. Either way, now the
status is conveyed by means of dots. I didn't find this especially
helpful, especially when it started downloaded the eclipse sdk and my
entire terminal history became full of dots. Was this an explcit change
by someone or is it a result of being moved out of sandbox into
devtools? Could it be changed back? I found the old information more
useful. Anyone else have any thoughts on the issue?
Thanks,
