Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2475:
--------------------------------------
Our actual update site is in www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site. You
can point some browsers (like firefox, but not chrome) to this URL and see the
contents.
The release manager, after a release is approved, is responsible for copying
the right files from the uimaj-eclipse-update-site project / target
/eclipse-update-site to this spot (using the normal release protocols, of
course).
The actual official update site has all historical versions of the plugins; the
uimaj-eclipse-update-site project will just have the "new" ones, which is why
careful copying is needed :-).
Note that this directory on www.apache.org/dist/uima is part of Apache's
"mirror" system. We attempt to allow the Eclipse install mechanism to discover
the mirrors and make use of them.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Eclipse plugins
> Reporter: Steven Bethard
> Assignee: Peter Klügl
>
> The UIMA Eclipse update site (www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site)
> is an Eclipse 3.3 (or older) update site. Since Eclipse 3.4, the recommended
> update site layout is p2:
> http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started_for_Releng#Why_should_I_make_changes_to_adopt_p2.3F
> I've been bitten by this update site issue because old-style update sites
> make it impossible to resolve build-time dependencies when building Eclipse
> plugins:
> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380438#c3
> Could the UIMA update site be modernized to the p2 layout?
